Dynasty Rookie Draft Sleepers: Cedric Tillman (2023 Fantasy Football)

Rookie draft picks can be the lifeblood of a dynasty fantasy football roster, and selecting sleepers in the early and middle rounds can make a significant impact on a team’s success. This is even more true for early rookie drafts that take place before or right after the NFL Draft. We asked our featured pundits to each pick a sleeper they’re targeting in early dynasty rookie drafts this offseason.

Early Dynasty Rookie Draft Sleepers

Who is one rookie sleeper you’re targeting in early dynasty rookie drafts?

Cedric Tillman (WR) — Rookie Ranks: OVR 32 | WR11
“Cedric Tillman operated as Tennessee’s No. 1 WR as a junior in 2021, posting a 32 percent dominator rating. The 21-year-old took over the WR1 chair formerly owned by future Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer and narrowly outproduced another future NFL player, Velus Jones Jr. Tillman totaled 1,081 receiving yards, caught 12 TDs and generated the nation’s highest passer rating when targeted (155.8) but elected to forego the NFL and return to school in 2022. He was limited to six games after suffering an ankle injury and was out-shined greatly by his teammate and 2023 draft prospect Jalin Hyatt who took home the Fred Biletnikoff Award. However, in the five games that Tillman played healthy, he outproduced Hyatt with more targets (56, 30% target share vs. 40, 21% target share), catches (35 vs. 30), and yards (401 vs. 367). Tillman’s lack of early-career production and age entering the league (23) definitely raise eyebrows about what kind of ceiling he can offer. But his size at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds helps him literally stand out as a prototypical “X” receiver in a class that is severely lacking big-bodied receivers. ”
