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.
Whether or not Tillman plays comes down to him clearing the concussion protocol. The second-year receiver has missed the last three games with a concussion he suffered in Week 12 and will miss a fourth-straight game if he can't get cleared before Sunday. Even if he's active, Tillman will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR4 with Jameis Winston back on the bench.
Tillman may need to log a full practice on Friday if he has any hopes of suiting up in Week 16 against the Bengals. If active, Tillman won't have the same fantasy upside he enjoyed with Jameis Winston under center. The move from Winston to Dorian Thompson-Robinson is an immediate downgrade for Tillman and all Browns players and puts Tillman somewhere on the cusp of a WR3/WR4 if he is active.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained limited in practice on Wednesday. He was limited all three days last week before missing the Chiefs game. We'll see if Tillman can clear protocol in time for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals, but he'd be a shaky fantasy play with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that he's hopeful Tillman can return in Week 16 against the Bengals. That Tillman, who suffered a brain injury in early December, remains in the concussion protocol is a concerning sign for the second-year wideout. Even if Tillman suits up this week against the Bengals, he won't hold much fantasy interest with Dorian Thompson-Robinson taking over at QB for Jameis Winston.
