2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tillman had a slow start to his rookie season after being selected in the third round of the draft. In the receiver’s first seven games, he had three catches for 10 yards. Beginning in Week 12, Tillman became more involved in the offense. During that time, he had a trio of games with at least 43 yards. Even though there weren’t signs of dominance, Tillman likely showed enough to see an expanded role in 2024. However, expect Amari Cooper, David Njoku and Jerry Jeudy to be the top pass catchers for the Browns. As a result, Tillman’s production may be limited. Read Past Outlooks

Could take step forward in Year 2
Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer and Zac Jackson of The Athletic suggest that Tillman (concussion) is a candidate to take a step forward in his second season as a pro.
ANALYSIS
Per Cabot, the Browns figure to frequently employ Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore in three-receiver sets, but Tillman nonetheless should see his share of opportunities as the season progresses, especially if injuries hit the aforementioned trio. As a rookie, the 2023 third-round pick recorded a 21-224-0 line on 44 targets in 14 regular-season games, but if he's able to carve out steadier playing time in 2024, the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder -- who missed Cleveland's wild-card loss to the Texans with a concussion -- could emerge as a solid complementary option alongside the team's top pass catchers. Also in the mix for snaps in the Browns' WR corps are 2022 third-rounder David Bell and 2024 fifth-rounder Jamari Thrash.

May have sizable Week 18 role
Tillman, who recorded one catch for eight yards on four targets in Thursday night's win over the Jets, could enjoy a big Week 18 role against the Bengals if the Browns opt to rest one or both of top wideouts Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore.
ANALYSIS
Cooper was inactive for Thursday's game due to a heel injury, while Moore exited just before halftime with a head injury. With the Browns' postseason ticket punched and the likelihood of being locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC, head coach Kevin Stefanski could opt to rest or notably limit the playing time of his top two wideouts and other key pass-catching assets such as tight end David Njoku. Such a scenario would theoretically thrust Tillman into the role of the de facto No. 1 receiver in versus Cincinnati.

Such a scenario would theoretically thrust Tillman into the role of the de facto No. 1 receiver in versus Cincinnati.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Browns stood pat in the third round of April's draft and selected Tillman despite more pressing needs on the defensive line. Though the team had made moves to bolster the wideout corps earlier in the offseason, the Browns decided they couldn't pass on the 6-3, 215-pounder, who the club believes could be a red-zone threat for QB Deshaun Watson. Tillman had 12 TDs in 2021 before an ankle injury limited his availability in 2022. He'll need to earn his snaps among a crowded position group and is expected to start down the depth chart. As a result, the Tennessee product's rookie season may not provide much fantasy value, but Tillman could move into a starting role by 2024, if the Browns allow Donovan Peoples-Jones to walk.
