Browns WR Isaiah Bond (foot) is off the final injury report and will be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. We’ll see how he fits alongside WRs Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, but Bond should not be in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Browns WR Cedric Tillman is set to miss weeks, according to HC Kevin Stefanski. Tillman injured his hamstring in the second quarter against the Lions. He was able to return briefly, but that was short-lived. He ultimately went to the locker room for the remainder of the game.

Browns WR Cedric Tillman suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Lions and has been ruled out. We'll update his status when we know more, but expect this to be a multi-week injury. Tillman's absence will free up snaps for rookie WR Isaiah Bond, and potentially mean more targets for WR Jerry Jeudy and TEs David Njoku and Harold Fannin.

Browns WR Cedric Tillman was on the field but did not practice today because of a thumb injury, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. The severity is unknown. This comes just one day after Joe Flacco was named the starting QB for the Browns.

The Browns watched WR Cedric Tillman leave Friday's practice with a lower-leg injury but expect him to miss no time. HC Kevin Stefanski said Saturday morning that he expects Tillman to be back at practice, according to Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram, adding that the team "dodged a bullet."

The Browns are placing WR Cedric Tillman on IR for his concussion. Tillman suffered the injury back in Week 12. He actually returned to practice ahead of the Week 15 game against Kansas City but has never returned to game action. The IR placement makes it a six-game concussion absence -- a worrisome timeline for an injury that most commonly costs a player a single game. We'll see this offseason whether the concussion will impact Tillman beyond this season.

The Browns plan to start QB Jameis Winston in Sunday's game against the Ravens, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "My understanding is Dorian Thompson-Robinson was [Deshaun] Watson’s backup on Sunday strictly from a gameplan standpoint," Schultz adds. That suggests that Cleveland is opting to go with Winston over Thompson-Robinson regardless of Thompson-Robinson's finger injury. That'd be good news for Cleveland's pass catchers going forward.

The Broncos are trading WR Jerry Jeudy to the Browns for fifth- and sixth-round picks in this year's draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's clearly a cost-cutting move for Denver, which avoids the nearly $13 million cap hit of the final season on Jeudy's contract. The move should allow second-year WR Marvin Mims to hit the starting lineup, though he'll have to compete with returning WR Tim Patrick. Jeudy arrives to a Cleveland corps that already sported WRs Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore. Right now we'd bet on Jeudy garnering more targets than Moore, who earned just 16.7% target share in his first year with the Browns. But it's certainly not an exciting landing spot for Jeudy's upside. That's magnified by QB Deshaun Watson's lackluster play in 2023 before his season-ending shoulder injury. Jeudy's fine to stack with Watson on best ball rosters at their respective prices: WR61 in Underdog Fantasy ADP for Jeudy; QB23 for Watson. Just don't expect either to be a championship winner. That said, Watson sports a nice crew of pass-catchers now, with the aforementioned wideouts and TE David Njoku. Cleveland second-year WR Cedric Tillman, meanwhile, looks blocked from relevance for at least one more year. He's not a must-hold in dynasty.
