This guy was dropped in my start 3WR league. Is it worth dropping MVS, NWI, Vele or Thielen for? His ROS schedule is worse than all of those players. I could also drop Braelon for him. He’s not even going to play this week I feel like, but I don’t want to not pick up a potential team’s WR1.

What are the latest thoughts on Tillman as we head into the fantasy playoffs?
He had that brief hot stretch, but since then beyond getting hurt, Jeudy, Njoku and Moore are gobbling up targets. With Jeudy and Njoku in particularly balling out, even if he returns, do we think there is any room left for Tillman to produce anywhere close to where he was?

I think 3-5 targets is reasonable expectation, with the potential for more. It's unreasonable though to expect those 8-12 targets from weeks 7-11 with all the mouths to feed, unless Jameis continues to air it out 40+ times a game each week.

I’m considering dropping him for Elijah Moore but don’t want to risk picking the wrong Browns horse
Holding depending on who I am would be dropping him for.
I feel like I lucked out when a manager dropped him last week and I got to put him in my IR spot. I can’t make any moves right now with him still there, but I’m definitely happy I have him. More so after Monday’s game.

Definite hold in regular to deep leagues. So many potential targets.
I’m holding.
Tillman has had 12-9-11-8-4 targets. The 4 came against the Steelers in a snow storm and he left the game early.
With Jameis throwing the ball all over the field I’ll hold for the potential upside.
While I’ll say 30% chance likely, upside can win the championship if you hit.
I mean what other options do you have?

He might not need the hamstring to get a lot of targets.
Why is it so inconceivable Tillman picks up his target share he had pre-injury?

That's fair. I looked into the target data and assumed that Jeudy and Moore's target shares had increased with Tillman out, but they really didn't. They're all seeing about 20% target share. Assuming Winston doesn't lean on Jeudy, Moore, and Njoku to Tillman's detriment, he should be able to get 8-10 targets a game.
I was thinking the same thing.
Not a lot of great options on the wire but always a possibility one of these guys hits with Tillman out. But I’ll probably hold Tillman as a wr5 with upside.
For me:
Elijah Moore
Thielen
Valdes-Scantling
Well he’s guaranteed to score zero this week since he’s out.I dropped him and my opponent picked him up and is starting him against me…
So I’m sure he will score 30+ or have a Jeudy game
Bench at your own risk all. It’s been that kind of season for me all year long

Downs is the only WR I was looking at. Vidal, SF next guys up, Corum etc I was considering. Any similar players that you all would try this for?
I like Downs but isn’t he injured too? I’m not sure he’s guaranteed to play next week.
Corum and Vidal are lottery ticket RBs. If you pick up Corum I guess it’s just with the hope Kyren gets hurt.

1st concussions suck, they're always hard to get over and we're seeing this from Tillman right now. No reason to drop the guy as when he comes back, he's going to rejoin the jameis Winston Experience and get 7-8 targets a game as well as be a red zone option again. I have no idea why he was mass dropped (10-12 team leagues?)
Me either. I've happily grabbed him and held since he was dropped.

He has popped up on deep sleeper posts on Twitter, and I'm all about it.
In dynasty league startups, he's WR60. I'll hammer that, all day long

All comes down to QB. If it’s Flacco, he might be something. The others, probably not so much.

Cedric Tillman 2024 #ReceptionPerception Profile is now up on the site
Some highlights:
- Thrived once given true X-receiver alignment
- 70.2% success rate vs. man coverage
- Notable contested catch and "in space" results
Tillman's strong stretch in the middle of the season was always destined to be forgotten because of how we view things.

Had him in multiple leagues last year. A concussion or multiple concussions ended up putting him out for the rest of the year when it should have been a few week absence. Not many people talking about that with him. My worry is he gets another one but at adp i guess worth the risk
