Cedric Tillman: Everything you need to know

Tillman caught one of two targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 20-18 win over the Bengals in Week 18. Tillman was responsible for the Browns' longest play for the second consecutive week, and five of his last eight receptions have gone for more than 20 yards. Unfortunately for the third-year wideout, Cleveland's quarterback situation all season was a mess that limited his growth following a promising campaign in 2024, and Tillman had just five catches over the final seven games this season. He ended the regular season with 21 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 third-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and should be among the team's top three wideouts in 2026, but his fantasy value will depend on organizational changes during the offseason.

Tillman caught his lone target for 42 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17. Tillman made an impact on Cleveland's lone touchdown drive. He dug the Browns out from deep in their own territory with his only reception of the day and set up Harold Fannin (groin) for a 28-yard score. Fannin has been Shedeur Sanders' leading target the last few weeks, so the groin injury that forced him to leave Sunday's contest could have big implications for the Cleveland passing game in the regular-season finale next Sunday against the Bengals. If Fannin's held out, then wide receivers like Tillman and Jerry Jeudy could see more targets.

Tillman caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16. Tillman, who played just seven snaps last week after returning from a concussion, was given 31 snaps Sunday. Unfortunately for the receiver, he was not - and has not been -- a preferred option for quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Over the last five contests, Tillman has three catches on eight targets for 36 yards.
