The Cleveland Browns will face the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Cedric Tillman.
Is Cedric Tillman Playing in Week 17?
Tillman remains limited at practice as he works his way through the NFL’s concussion protocol. It is quite curious that he continues to be able to practice but is not yet able to progress to full contact.
We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Cedric Tillman’s Fantasy Outlook
The Browns were “hopeful” that Tillman could return from a concussion that has resulted in four missed games, but I was struggling to imagine a situation in which you’re rolling the dice on a player like this in an offense that went from recklessly aggressive to mind-numbingly conservative with their change under center.
The Tillman-coaster was a fun ride for three weeks (32 targets and three touchdowns), but his skill set, when fully healthy, aligns perfectly with Jameis Winston, not Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Could a 24-year-old with high-end athletic traits develop into something? Of course. Can he do it with Cleveland seemingly committed to Deshaun Watson? I’m not so sure – I don’t think he’ll be on my list of favorite late-round flyers for 2025.
