Sets up lone TD in win Tillman caught his lone target for 42 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

Impact Tillman's lone contribution to the win made an impact on Cleveland's lone touchdown drive. He dug the Browns out from deep in their own territory and set up Harold Fannin's (groin) 28-yard touchdown that gave the team a 10-0 lead late in the first quarter. Fannin has been the team's leading target the last few weeks, so the groin injury that forced him to leave Sunday's contest could have implications in the regular season finale next Sunday against the Bengals. If he's held out, then the wide receivers, like Tillman and Jerry Jeudy, could see more passes thrown their way.

Increased playing time in loss Tillman caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16.

Impact Tillman, who had played just seven snaps last week after returning from a concussion, was given 31 snaps Sunday. Unfortunately for the receiver, he was not - and has not been -- a preferred target of quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Over the last five contests, Tillman has three catches on eight targets for 36 yards.

Limited snap count in loss Tillman was not targeted over seven snaps in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Chicago in Week 15.

Impact Tillman battled a concussion and a rib injury during the practice week but was eventually cleared and allowed to suit up. The snap volume indicates he may not have been fully ready to absorb contact. Tillman normally is the No. 2 wideout and snap counts bear that out, but he was on the field less than depth options Malachi Corley (15 snaps) and Gage Larvadain (31),

Set to face Bears Tillman (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Tillman didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, but he managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up, which also signifies that he cleared the league's concussion protocol. Tillman has yet to show much rapport with Shedeur Sanders, as he has only two catches for 28 yards across the three games that Sanders has started.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Tillman (concussion/ribs) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Tillman is managing a rib injury and will also need to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible to play Sunday. Isaiah Bond will stand to benefit from increased opportunities in the receiving game if Tillman ultimately remains sidelined Week 15.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined at practice Tillman (concussion/ribs) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tillman is missing a second consecutive practice while nursing a pair of injury sustained during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14. He'll have one more chance to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago, but at this stage Tillman appears to be trending in the wrong direction. He'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol before returning to the Browns' starting lineup.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Wednesday Tillman (concussion, rib) is not in line to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Tillman was on the field for 64 percent of the Browns' snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans, a game in which the wideout caught one of three targets for 23 yards. He's now contending with a pair of injury concerns ahead of this weekend's contest against the Bears, with two more chances to practice on tap before Cleveland's Week 15 game statuses are posted Friday.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Snags one catch in loss Tillman caught one of three targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.

Impact Tillman entered Week 14 with just one catch for five yards in the previous two games. With the Browns' passing offense showing some life Sunday under quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who completed 23-of-42 passes for 364 yards, there's hope that secondary receivers like Tillman could be useful over the in final four games.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted once in loss Tillman failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 26-8 loss to San Francisco in Week 13.

Impact Tillman's lone target came early in the second quarter on a day when the wind impacted both team's quarterbacks. He had the second-most snaps among Cleveland's wide receivers, but the Browns' offense is not set up for even a No. 2 wideout to have much fantasy value. Tillman has one catch on four targets the last two games, and his two touchdowns came during the first two weeks of the season when Joe Flacco was chucking the ball.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Produces five yards in victory Tillman secured one of three targets for five yards in Cleveland's win over Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact Tillman's three targets tied him with Jerry Jeudy and Dylan Sampson for second on the team behind Harold Fannin (six), but Tillman and Shedeur Sanders showed zero on-field chemistry. After totaling seven catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns from Joe Flacco in the first two games of the season, Tillman has just 10 grabs for 100 scoreless yards in five appearances since, making Tillman someone to avoid in fantasy lineups ahead of a Week 13 date with San Francisco.

Can Shedeur Sanders rise to the occasion? Browns rookie QB to get valuable practice reps this week

Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was put in a difficult situation when he made his NFL debut early in the second half against the Baltimore Ravens

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Leads team in receiving in defeat Tillman caught three of four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Tillman was able to pace the team in receiving yards while finishing tied for the lead in catches with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy. The 25-year-old was limited by a glute injury at practice throughout the week, but he didn't look any worse for wear in Week 11. Tillman will look to build off of Sunday's performance when the Browns square off with the Raiders in Week 12.

Cleared to face Ravens Tillman (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Tillman upgraded to full participation Friday after a pair of limited practice showings to avoid a Week 11 injury designation. In his second game back from a stint on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Tillman projects to operate as Cleveland's No. 2 wide receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited Thursday Tillman (glute) remained limited in practice Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Impact It's unclear if this glute injury is connected to the hamstring injury that landed Tillman on injured reserve prior to his return in Cleveland's Week 10 loss to the Jets. Tillman may just be getting eased back into practice following his return to action, but he would probably need to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Limited in practice Tillman was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a glute injury, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Thomas returned from a hamstring injury for Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets, catching two of four targets for 11 yards while tying for second on the Browns in route share (74 percent). Fellow Browns wideout Isaiah Bond (foot) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, but he may just be a reserve behind Tillman, Jerry Jeudy and Jamari Thrash at this point.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in return Tillman (hamstring) caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jets.

Impact Tillman was the only Browns wide receiver other than Jerry Jeudy to record a catch in Sunday's loss. Jeudy and tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin all seem to be ahead of Tillman in the pecking order among Cleveland's pass catchers heading into Week 11 against the Ravens, but at least Tillman made it through unscathed in his first game since Week 4. The third-year wideout was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Active Sunday Tillman (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Ahead of being activated from injured reserve Saturday, Tillman logged a week of full practices, which should position him to step back in a key role in the Browns passing game in his first game action since Week 4. His return comes at an opportune time, with Isaiah Bond (foot) inactive, though it remains to be seen what level of volume Tillman will see alongside fellow WR Jerry Jeudy, with tight ends Harold Fannin and David Njoku both candidates to see plenty of looks from QB Dillon Gabriel on Sunday. In four games played thus far, Tillman has recorded an 11/106/2 receiving line on 20 targets.

Expected to play Sunday Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Tillman was activated from injured reserve earlier Saturday and is expected to make his return to the lineup after being injured in Week 4. With Tillman back in action and Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman should step right back into an every-down role alongside Jerry Jeudy. Tillman, however, has yet to play a game with Dillon Gabriel under center, making him a risky fantasy bet in what is already one of the league's least-potent passing attacks. The good news for Tillman is the Jets' trade of No. 1 CB Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis earlier in the week.
