Cedric Tillman has become a significant part of the Cleveland Browns offense since the team traded away Amari Cooper. With Cooper gone, Tillman has stepped into the lead role and made the most of his opportunities.
In Week 9, before the Browns' Week 10 bye, the 24-year-old caught six of his 11 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown. Despite the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Tillman was one of the few bright spots in a rough outing for quarterback Jameis Winston.
Winston was sacked six times and threw three interceptions, but Tillman delivered the team's only touchdown and remained a reliable target throughout the game. So, can fantasy managers rely on the receiver in Week 11?

Notably, he has received four red zone targets during this stretch, underscoring his increasing trust within the Browns' offensive scheme.
This week, Tillman faces the New Orleans Saints, a team whose secondary has struggled recently. The Saints allow the 11th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, which positions Tillman for another strong outing.
Should I Start Cedric Tillman in Week 11?
New Orleans' defense has shown vulnerability against explosive plays, and Tillman's role as a red zone option makes him particularly appealing in this matchup.

With Winston likely to lean on the Tennessee product again, his combination of target volume and scoring potential creates an ideal starting scenario for fantasy managers.
If you seek a dependable wide receiver with upside, Tillman is an excellent choice for Week 11. His recent performances, combined with a favorable matchup, make him a must-start option in most formats.
