Tillman caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars in Week 14.
EDGE Analysis
Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore dwarf Tillman in terms of targets, but the rookie continues to get significant usage. He's played 81.4 percent of the offensive snaps since the Browns traded Donovan Peoples-Jones to Detroit. Recently, that usage has translated into targets with an average of five per game over the last three weeks. Now that the Browns have settled on Joe Flacco as the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, Tillman could be in line to make a meaningful fantasy impact.

Tillman caught two of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams in Week 13.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman led the team's wideouts with 66 snaps and had a season high in targets. The rookie has been a regular presence on the field the last five weeks but it's only been recently that the usage translated into targets; Tillman's seen 11 passes thrown his way the last two weeks. Top wide receiver Amari Cooper sustained a concussion Sunday, leaving Tillman, Elijah Moore and David Bell as the top three healthy wideouts.

Tillman caught four of five targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
The 2023 third-round pick hauled in more catches for more yardage than he had in his first seven NFL games combined, but all of his production came in the first half with fellow rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. Thompson-Robinson left the game in the third quarter with a concussion, and the lone pass Tillman saw from PJ Walker afterward fell incomplete. Even if Thompson-Robinson is able to clear the league's protocol and suit up in Week 13 against the Rams, Tillman has yet to show enough consistency to be anything more than a deep-league dart throw for fantasy purposes. The chemistry the duo showed in the first half Sunday was encouraging, however.

Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards and had one carry for eight yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman continued to see ample time on the field -- this was his second consecutive week with 66 snaps -- but his impact has been limited. Sunday's two touches and 10 combined yards were seasons highs for the rookie, and the switch from Deshaun Watson (shoulder) to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center likely won't make much of a difference for Tillman.

Tillman did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
For a second consecutive week, the rookie was a top-three wideout in terms of snaps (66, 85 percent), as Marquise Goodwin (concussion) and David Bell (knee) were unavailable. Tillman's played a combined 120 snaps the last two games but has just four targets and one catch to show for it.

Tillman caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 27-0 win over Arizona in Week 9.
EDGE Analysis
The 2023 third-round pick was the main beneficiary of the Donovan Peoples-Jones trade, as well as an injury absence for David Bell (knee). Tillman played a season-high 54 snaps, bettering his previous high of 14, but much like Peoples-Jones, the usage didn't translate into much volume. Marquise Goodwin, also in the mix for more run as a deep threat for the Browns, saw only eight snaps before leaving the game in the third quarter with a concussion.

Tillman is expected to be among the top four wideouts Sunday, with David Bell (knee) ruled out for the Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman, who has not been active the last three games, moved up the ladder twice this week. First, it was Donovan Peoples-Jones being traded to the Lions, then it was Bell's status for Week 9. It's an ideal week for Tillman, as the return of quarterback Deshaun Watson signals a more productive passing game. Marquise Goodwin is also expected to play a greater role and likely to get most of the snaps that had gone to Peoples-Jones in previous games.

Tillman will likely serve as the primary replacement for Donovan Peoples-Jones, whom the Browns traded to the Lions on Tuesday, Terry Pluto of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman, a rookie third-round pick out of Tennessee, has been inactive the last three games and was a healthy scratch on two of those occasions. When he was active for the Browns' first four games of the season, Tillman averaged 11 snaps per contest and was targeted a total of three times. The Browns' decision to move Peoples-Jones doesn't come out of nowhere; he was in the final year of his contract and seemingly fell out of favor as a priority in Cleveland's passing game. The trade may not immediately mean much for Tillman as a fantasy asset, but he could be active going forward and may be an injury away from capturing a more significant role.

Tillman (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman missed last week's game due to a hip injury. While he was again listed as questionable due to the issue, it looks like he is healthy, but the pass catcher will simply be held out as a coach's decision.

Tillman (hip) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman sat out this past Sunday's upset win over San Francisco after being a late addition to the injury report, but the 2023 third-round draft pick has put that injury behind him. Barring a setback, Tillman should suit up Sunday against the Colts.
