Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He was limited in practice all week but still hasn't cleared protocol. Tillman's absence helps the target projections on WRs Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore, but they remain shaky fantasy plays with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson taking over for QB Jameis Winston.
Tillman is missing his fourth straight game after suffering a concussion in Week 12. Even with Tillman out, Browns pass catchers are difficult to trust in Week 16 with Jameis Winston hitting the bench for Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend s game vs. the Bengals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Njoku will be at less than 100% and trying to catch passes from QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson if he ends up playing. We d try to look elsewhere for Week 16 fantasy lineups.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday s game vs. the Bengals. He remained limited in practice all week and still has work to do to clear protocol. We ll keep you posted on Tillman s status, but he s not a recommended fantasy starter with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the controls for Cleveland.
Njoku only logged one practice this week, but head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team will see how he responds to practice before making a decision on his Week 16 availability. Njoku's return would be great for the Browns and his fantasy managers, but it's hard to ignore the downgrade that comes with Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. If he's active, Njoku should be viewed as more of a fringe TE1/TE2 than a must-start TE1.
