Cedric Tillman vs. BAL

Cedric Tillman is the Browns’ second-year receiver who had a big game in Week 7. In his first game without Amari Cooper, Tillman led the Browns with eight receptions for 81 yards on a team-high 11 targets. Tillman was a productive college receiver but had his college career cut short due to injury. He enters Week 8 as a top option for the Browns’ new starting quarterback, Jameis Winston.

Tillman is a strong fit with Winston’s skillset. Tillman is a big receiver at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds with quality speed and burst according to PlayerProfiler. He wins downfieldm, and this skillset complements Winston’s willingness and ability to attack the deep parts of the field. Tillman will take on the Ravens this week, currently allowing the most passing yards per game this season. Start Tillman if you were able to add him this past week.
