Browns' Cedric Tillman: Notches three catches in Week 11
Cedric Tillman gathered in three of eight targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-14 loss at New Orleans.Prior to the Cleveland Browns' Week 10 bye, Tillman surpassed 75 receiving yards in three straight games en route to a cumulative 21-255-3 line on 32 targets. The volume still was there for the second-year receiver as QB Jameis Winston aired it out 46 times, but Jerry Jeudy (6-142-1 on 11 targets), David Njoku (9-81-0 on nine targets) and Elijah Moore (6-66-1 on eight targets) were the main beneficiaries this time around. Cleveland has a quick turnaround Thursday against a tough Steelers defense, so Tillman may have his work cut out for him to produce in Week 12.

Browns' Cedric Tillman: Gets into end zone late Sunday
Cedric Tillman secured six of 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Cleveland Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.Jameis Winston struggled throughout the afternoon against a relentless Chargers defense that sacked him six times and picked him off on three occasions. However, Tillman still garnered enough of his attention to tie with Jerry Jeudy for the team lead in targets while setting the pace in receiving yards. The second-year wideout was also on the other end of Winston's only passing touchdown of the day, securing a difficult 17-yard grab late in the fourth quarter for his third score in the last two games. Tillman has clearly established himself as one of Winston's most trusted targets, leaving the 2023 third-round pick with a bright outlook for a Week 11 road matchup against the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

Browns' Cedric Tillman: Stars in upset win
Cedric Tillman recorded seven receptions on nine targets for 99 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.Tillman has benefitted from a combination of the departure of Amari Cooper as well as Jameis Winston providing the team with more stable quarterback play. He followed up his breakout Week 7 performance by catching long touchdowns of 22 and 38 yards while serving as the primary deep target in the Cleveland Browns' offense. Tillman has certainly shown enough to remain locked into a key role, though his stat lines are likely to be volatile if he continues to operate more frequently in deep areas of the field relative to the rest of Cleveland's pass catchers.

Browns' Cedric Tillman: Breaks out in Week 7 loss
Cedric Tillman caught eight of 12 targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bengals in Week 7.After Cleveland traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo last week, speculation as to which receiver(s) would pick up the available targets mainly focused on Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and David Njoku. Tillman, to a lesser degree, was also expected to see a bump in activity, but Sunday's results were off the charts. The 2023 third-round pick out of Tennessee entered the contest with just five targets (three catches) and hadn't been thrown to the previous three games. Whether Tillman will continue to see numbers like this going forward is uncertain, a word that also describes the state of the Cleveland Browns' quarterback situation. Both Deshaun Watson (Achilles') and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) left the game, leaving Jameis Winston to finish out as the emergency quarterback.

Browns' Cedric Tillman: Likely to move into starting role
Cedric Tillman is expected to move into a regular role in three-receiver sets after the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Bills on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore (ribs) remain ahead of him on the depth chart and will likely, along with tight end David Njoku, rank as higher priorities in the passing game, but Tillman should move into a starting role for Cleveland with Cooper no longer in the mix. Through the Browns' first six games, Tillman had mustered just three catches for nine yards on five targets while playing 114 total snaps on offense. Even though his playing time is expected to rise, Tillman still looks to be largely off the fantasy radar with struggling quarterback Deshaun Watson having yet to complete more than 25 passes or clear 200 passing yards in any game this season.

Browns' Cedric Tillman: One touch in loss
Cedric Tillman was not targeted and had one carry for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia in Week 6.Tillman's lone touch came on a 3rd-and-1 on the Eagles' side of the field and resulted in a longer field-goal attempt for Dustin Hopkins, who was wide right from 52 yards. Tillman went untargeted for a third consecutive week but could grab a larger slice of the target pie in Week 7 depending on the status of Elijah Moore (ribs).

Browns' Cedric Tillman: Nine target-less snaps in loss
Cedric Tillman was not targeted over nine snaps in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders in Week 4.The snaps were the fewest of the season for Tillman, who had been above 20 the first three weeks. Perhaps his critical drop in a Week 3 loss to the Giants cost him playing time.

Browns' Cedric Tillman: One catch, one drop in loss
Cedric Tillman caught one of two targets for four yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.The ball Tillman didn't catch was costly; he dropped a nicely placed pass from Deshaun Watson on fourth down, which turned out to be the Cleveland Browns' final offensive play. Tillman was filling in for Amari Cooper, who was shaken up on the previous play. If Cooper has a significant injury, that would mean more playing time for Tillman, who has three catches on five targets for nine yards through three weeks.
