Apparently they only appreciate his extreme efficiency for important downs.

WR Cedric Tillman, CLE (1 Viewer)

Shakir has had a limited snap count all year - I think that's just the way the use him. When they go run heavy, he's probably not on the field much. Probably a pretty high target to route run rate though.

I have a flotsam of Reed and Tank Dell and I start 2 of 3, I think I like Tillman more and more
Fortunately I'm not in that situation. Trying to decide whether to sell now for what I can get, or if his value can be expected to rise (redraft). He's not likely to ever crack my starting line-up - Chase, Puka, McLaurin.

Facing the Chargers and the number 1 defense in the league (on FFPC anyway) - will be hard to not start him this week, though. I don't trust Tank tonight and I don't trust Metcalf if he plays.

All I really had at WR prior to picking up Tillman were Higgins and DJ Moore. I'm absolutely stacked at RB and had tried packaging some trades to some of the WR-heavy teams to get more depth but couldn't get any takers. I'm liking Tillman's prospects a lot and he's giving me what I think will be really solid WR depth that I was lacking.
Reed won me my league last year, and I'm hopeful TIllman can have a similar impact

I'm in similar situations (also toss in McLaurin, Josh Downs, Devonta Smith, McCloud, Tre Trucker etc.).
I'm rolling Dell and Devonta Smith over Tillman solely because Tillman will be competing with Jeudy and Moore for targets whereas Dell just has Collins and Smith is 1B to Brown. I am going with Tillman over Downs because Downs has similar target competition and uncertainty.

Which is, of course, a nice factor.

I really want to start him over Waddle and Pittman (after JJ and Kupp with Deebo on bye).
But this just doesn't seem like the week. Chargers-Browns has 17-10 written all over it. And of course, Waddle and PIttman finally have some hope again (and better match-ups).
Maybe it's just seeing Waddle and Pittman suck for months, but in spite of what should be the right answer, I get the feeling Tillman is going to go bonkers in a bad match-up while Waddle and PIttman keep scuffling.
Anyway, I think Tillman is really good and has the perfect gunslinger throwing to him. I'm going to be one of them, but many of us are going to regret leaving him on the bench this week.
it's hard to run on the Chargers and they are opening it up a little. This game could turn into a sneaky shoot-out. Tillman is Jameis' best WR and Jameis knows that.
Tillman busting out 150/2 even in a tough matchup wouldn't shock me. I can't say that about Waddle and PIttman.
Nevermind, I'm starting him over Waddle and Pittman. If it bites me, screw it. I'll just be excited to see Waddle and Pittman do something. It's been a long time.

Oof. These are all brutal decisions.
All-around, so many WR disappointments and guys we don't trust this year.
And here comes TIllman who really looks like he might be that dude down the stretch, even with tough match-ups.
GL everybody, I have no idea what the answer is.

In PPR I am starting Tillman over Waddle. It may bite me but I’m done with Waddle. I know he’s only had 1 game back with Tua and Buffalo matchup is much better (and should be a shoot out) but I can just see Waddle having the same game he seems to have every other game where he gets dinged up and is in and out of the lineup and comes up small. Riding the CT wave.

Bump for the Tillman express. All aboard! LAC pass D not too scary. They give up yards and TDS. Only shutdown games were against Car/Bryce and last week NO/Rattler. Average or above avg QBs do fine, toss for around 250 or so.

It’s because I started him. Sorry guys!!

Tougher defense slowing things down.

Nine targets for a third (?) straight game is encouraging

Didn't see the game but encouraging stat line, definitely a flex option going forward at the very least

As someone who was banging the Tillman drum as a rookie and failed to get him in both my rookie drafts I’m absolutely delighted to have just picked him up as part of a bigger deal where I also got Sun God.
Finally on this train properly, just a shame I need to wait a week for him to make his debut for me !

How’re people feeling about Tillman ROS? I’m a little spooked by this browns offense outside of Njoku. Just looking for some perspective.
I tend to still like him a little more than how he is ranked.
Targets are there, James airs it out, Browns will be playing from behind and passing often.
But if Jameis doesn’t play for whatever reason I don’t think Tillman will do much.

Holding for now but not starting, the next 4 matchups are brutal

People forget that Tampa Bay Jameis helped make 3 WRs and the TE relevant on O. Tillman/Jeudy/Moore have eerily similar numbers; I'm confident they'll be solid contributors.

Tank Dell or flyer on Tillman the rest of the way?

I vote dell

Think Dell has a better situation and upside path now with Nico helping out.
Tillman is a nice player and he’s start able most weeks as a flex but it feels like Lockett right now

Sold him after three good games along with Estime after his high workload game for AR. No regerts, needed the upside at QB.

Hard to trust any Browns player not named Nick Chubb. I thought perhaps Tillman was running away with the WR1 role after the Cooper trade but that may have been premature. The Browns have more invested in Jeudy as they traded for him and immediately signed him to a contract extension, on top of having the pedigree advantage: Jeudy was a 5-star recruit out of HS, Alabama product, and has 1st round draft capital whereas Tillman was a 3-star recruit, Tennessee product, and 3rd round draft capital. This could still go either direction, but if the Browns bring in a new starting WR this offseason my bet would be Jeudy remaining as a first stringer and Tillman being the one relegated to second stringer.

The market over-reacted after his 3 game hot streak. It appears the market is now over-reacting after a 2nd year 3rd round prospect had 2 not great performances, one in which was in a snow globe and he was knocked out early with a concussion.
The truth lies somewhere in between, y'all.

Yeah but there's also the whole Browns gonna brown angle to this that has some spook.
