ANALYSIS: In the Cleveland Browns' never-ending quest to spark their passing game, Cedric Tillman might just be the fantasy gem we've been waiting for. Last week, Tillman grabbed the spotlight with a robust 25% target share, snagging eight catches for a team-high 81 yards. It's a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers who've been navigating the murky waters of the Browns' aerial attack.
The Browns' offense has struggled to find its rhythm, and with Amari Cooper now in Buffalo, the door is wide open for someone to step up.
Enter Tillman, who's looking more and more like he could be that guy, especially with his promising connection with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, whom he played high school ball with at Bishop-Gorman High School in Las Vegas, NV.
Cedric Tillman stepped into a starting role in Week 7 with Amari Cooper traded.

Looking ahead to Week 8, Tillman finds himself up against a Baltimore secondary that’s been a tad generous, ranking 12th in PPR points allowed per target to receivers on the outside. If you're in a fantasy pinch, Tillman presents a tantalizing option, potentially continuing his breakout and solidifying his role in an offense desperately searching for consistent playmakers.
Keep an eye on this developing story, as Tillman could very well be on his way to becoming a weekly fantasy starter, especially if the Browns decide it's time to shake things up.
