Cedric Tillman Week 9 Outlook - Chargers at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Nov 2nd 2024, 12:05am EDT

Tillman has been awesome over the last two weeks as the WR10 and WR3 in weekly fantasy scoring. He has drawn a 22.6% target share (tied for the team lead), a 36.8% air-yard share, and a 27.3% first-read share (team-leading) with 2.22 YPRR and 90 receiving yards per game. He also tied for the team lead with three end-zone targets over the last two games. The Chargers have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (59.5%). Since Week 7, against two high, Tillman ranks third on the team with an 18.8% target share, first with 2.63 YPRR, and third with an 18.2% first-read share. Tillman could keep the train rolling this week with the Chargers starting two backups (Cam Hart and Tarheeb Still) with Asante Samuel Jr. (IR since Week 6) and Kristian Fulton out. On paper, the Bolts have remained strong after losing Samuel Jr. (since Week 6, they have allowed the fifth-fewest receiving yards per game and the third-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers), but losing Fulton too this week could make it a more advantageous matchup for Tillman.
