The Cleveland Browns will host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Cedric Tillman.
Is Cedric Tillman Playing in Week 11?
Tillman is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tillman in Week 11?
A hamstring injury had Tillman on IR since the beginning of October, but he was activated last week, and the Browns showed no hesitation in throwing him right into the mix (72.9% snap share, 33 routes run) against the Jets.
Two catches for 11 yards isn’t exactly a box score that the Tillman family is putting on the fridge, but it was good to see him operating at near full strength, especially with Dillon Gabbert throwing multiple touchdown passes for a second consecutive game.
Of course, nothing is certain in Cleveland. We could see a quarterback change, and we will likely see them struggle to move the ball in an effective manner regardless.
Season Rankings, Browns
- Points Per Game: 29th
- 3rd Down Efficiency: 30th
- Yards per Game: 31st
- Yards Per Play: 32nd
Even marginal gains would have this offense ranking as one of the five worst in the league, and that makes starting their WR2 with any level of confidence a long shot.
That said, it’s access to a long shot we didn’t have a week ago, and the schedule, after this week, includes games against the Raiders, Titans, and Bears. I’m not saying that Tillman is a must-roster player, but two of those plus spots come in the two remaining bulk bye weeks, and with him averaging 17.0 air yards per touchdown reception, color me intrigued for a dart throw in specific situations.
