Yes, I was quite surprised to see that Cedric Tillman is still under 20% represented in Yahoo leagues.

I think this is about 15% correct here on Sunday morning because it looks like this is a guy.

We talked a lot about the waiver portion of the podcast.

I know Andy talked about him as a waiver option too.

Led the team with 81 yards rushing last week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

He had a 30% air yardage percentage and I don't think this is just some sort of random pop-up for Cedric Tillman.

It's clear the Browns have been trying to get Tilman on the field all the way back to training camp.

The problem is that he is an ex-receiver in terms of size and position as much as he is an ex-receiver.

He didn't want Amari Cooper to take that job and he doesn't really fit the field anywhere else.

Now that Cooper is no longer there.

I think Tilman will get a good audition as the starting former receiver for the rest of the season. I gave him a bit of a Courtland Sutton comparison when he came into the league and with the amount of in-breakers he played from that position as an ex-receiver for Cleveland last week. I think that's a pretty nice comparison.

He gets a secondary in Baltimore this week.

Das has already given up many overtaking maneuvers and now has to contend with some cluster injuries.

So I think Tilman could give you a wide receiver three performance this week and perhaps be an asset for the rest of the season.
