2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tillman broke through in the middle of last season after the Browns traded Amari Cooper, recording three straight games in Weeks 7-9 with at least six catches, nine targets and 75 yards. A Week 10 bye broke his momentum, however, and he caught just five of 12 targets for 75 yards over the next two games before missing the rest of the year in concussion protocol. The 2023 third-round pick should have plenty of time to recover this offseason, and he's in good position for a top-three role after the Browns settled for Diontae Johnson as their "big" addition at wide receiver. The problem, apart from Cleveland's passing game potentially being terrible, is that Tillman has done so little in his career outside of the aforementioned three-game stretch. He drew targets on just 12.5 percent of his 352 routes as a rookie, catching less than half of those passes, and his per-route numbers were poor last season (17.9 percent target rate, 1.24 YPRR) despite the brief outburst while catching passes from Jameis Winston. Playing time won't necessarily lead to production, and Tillman's best chance at fantasy relevance likely involves Joe Flacco playing QB for Cleveland. Read Past Outlooks

Three catches in Week 3 win
Tillman caught all three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Tillman, who had 15 targets and two touchdowns through the first two weeks, was kept out of the end zone for the first time and had his fewest targets of the season. The production drop in Week 3 has more to do with Cleveland's sputtering offense and shouldn't be seen as a designed plan to reduce Tillman's role. He's been on the field for 86 percent of the offensive snaps, second only to Jerry Jeudy (86.5 percent) among the Browns wide receivers.

2023
Tillman had a slow start to his rookie season after being selected in the third round of the draft. In the receiver’s first seven games, he had three catches for 10 yards. Beginning in Week 12, Tillman became more involved in the offense. During that time, he had a trio of games with at least 43 yards. Even though there weren’t signs of dominance, Tillman likely showed enough to see an expanded role in 2024. However, expect Amari Cooper, David Njoku and Jerry Jeudy to be the top pass catchers for the Browns. As a result, Tillman’s production may be limited.

Tillman is expected to be a full-time starter in 2025, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Browns didn't make any notable additions at wide receiver in the offseason other than signing Diontae Johnson to a one-year contract, suggesting that Cleveland has Tillman penciled in as a starter next to Jerry Jeudy. Prior to suffering a concussion in Week 12, Tillman was enjoying a breakout sophomore season in 2024, having posted 302 yards and three touchdowns in his last four full games played.
