The Cleveland Browns will face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Cedric Tillman.
Is Cedric Tillman Playing in Week 16?
At this point, I am very concerned about Tillman’s overall health. He’s already missed three games with a concussion and still hasn’t fully progressed through the protocol. Tillman was limited all week but will need to clear on Saturday to have a chance to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Cedric Tillman in Week 16?
The Browns are “hopeful” that Cedric Tillman can return from a concussion that has resulted in three missed games, but I can’t imagine a situation in which you’re rolling the dice on a player like this in an offense that went from recklessly aggressive to mind-numbingly conservative with their change under center.
Tillman racked up 81 yards in the first meeting with the vulnerable Bengals, and we know this secondary can be had. That’s not the point. The point is that I’m not risking three months of hard work to reach the playoffs on a receiver who might hopefully be healthy in the WR3 role for an offense on a dead team and an underwhelming QB.
Other than that, I don’t have anything wrong with Tillman in Week 16.
