The Cleveland Browns don’t have a ton of weapons offensively. Outside of Jerry Jeudy, there aren’t many proven receivers for whomever their starting quarterback will be, but Bleacher Report believes one fringe receiver is a big piece of their future.
Moe Moton says that Cedric Tillman is the Browns’ best building block.
“After Week 6, the Browns traded wideout Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills, which allowed Tillman to slide into a starting role and see a consistent number of targets in the passing game. In Cleveland’s first three games without Cooper, Tillman hauled in 21 of 32 targets for 255 yards and three touchdowns. Late in November, he suffered a concussion, and the team eventually placed him on injured reserve. Despite Tillman’s small sample size in an expanded role, the Browns have taken note of his intriguing upside… As a top target in the Browns’ aerial attack, Tillman could take a significant leap in production this year.”
Tillman is coming off a season in which he caught 29 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns. If he emerges as a legit No. 2 option to Jerry Jeudy, he will make the job of whomever his quarterback is a lot easier. And considering the lack of options the Browns have, he will have every chance to do so.
