Cedric Tillman | CLE (vs GB)
Cedric Tillman is moving up my ranks on a weekly basis, but even his positive vibes can’t get him into my top 30 at the position against a rolling Packers defense that has had an extra few days of prep.
Some will be fearful that Tillman’s aDOT is down 22.8% from last season, but I view that as a floor elevator. Given that I’m comfortable with the upside, I think this new role is a net positive.
Sunday’s touchdown was the result of the fantasy gods smiling down on us, and while that’s not sustainable, the high-end volume seems to be here to stay unless the Browns can figure out how to run the ball (3.6 yards per carry).
Tillman has scored over 16 PPR points in four of his past six games when playing at least three-quarters of the snaps, and I don’t see his snap share dipping below that any time soon.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns (vs GB)
Am I allowed to be disappointed in a player who has a 25+ yard grab and eight targets in both games this season?
This is my article, and I make the rules, so yes, I am allowed to be mad, and I am!
Jeudy hasn’t been a top-30 receiver in either of the first two weeks this season despite the Browns leading the world in pass attempts. I thought that in getting Joe Flacco under center, we’d not only pick up some volume, but also some efficiency.
Hasn’t been the case.
Jeudy posted a 62.1% catch rate last season despite the Cleveland team cycling through various quarterbacks, and this season so far?
56.3%
We are being asked to determine if the volume is more stable or the efficiency more concerning, and to be honest with you, I lean towards the latter.
No team in the NFL is going to average 46.5 passes per game for four months, so banking on that is statistically silly. I’d love to pencil in some regression in the right direction in terms of catch rate, though I’m not sure I can.
His slot rate has been more than chopped in half from where it stood a year ago, and his aDOT is ticking up. Neither of those is great when considering projected efficiency, and given that we aren’t sure how this quarterback situation will play out over time, this feels like an awfully risky stock to buy.
I think I just talked myself into it. If you want to gamble on a player like Calvin Ridley in an offense with more upside at the QB position, I’m in. If you really want to get ahead of the curve, what about Jeudy and your RB2 for Matthew Golladay and a top 10-ish running back?
Hit up our Trade Analyzer with your best ideas, but from a strategic perspective, I’m in favor of both options.
