The move will end Tillman’s season. He missed the last six games of the year after suffering a concussion in the snow against Pittsburgh on Thursday night in Week 12. There was a brief window where Tillman looked to be on the up this year as he started four games after the Browns traded Amari Cooper and finished with lines of 8/81/0, 7/99/2, 6/75/1, and 3/47/0 on 40 targets. Heading into the third year of his rookie contract, though, the quarterback situation in Cleveland is shaky enough to leave him as a hard-to-trust fantasy asset. The upside is there. We’ll have to see how the situation shakes out before we can recommend him in drafts.

Tillman returned to practice last week for a handful of limited sessions. He remained limited this week and is still in the league’s concussion protocol as he works his way back from the brain injury he suffered in Week 12. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore will continue to soak up targets in his absence.

Things were trending in this direction after Tillman failed to log a full practice during the week and was listed as questionable heading into the weekend. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore will remain the top two receivers for the Browns for at least one more week, but they will also have tight end David Njoku back on the field after he missed Week 15 due to a hamstring injury. All pass-catchers for the Browns will get downgrade with DTR under center and Jameis Winston listed as the team’s QB3.

Tillman is missing his fourth straight game after suffering a concussion in Week 12. Even with Tillman out, Browns pass catchers are difficult to trust in Week 16 with Jameis Winston hitting the bench for Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
