Fantasy football coaches around the world were hoping the Browns would favor Jameis Winston over Deshaun Watson. Instead, Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles rupture and after a brief lead by Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jameis Winston started in Week 8.

Not only did the Browns beat the Ravens, they finally produced a top-five fantasy wide receiver in a given week. And not only did he crack the top five, but Cedric Tillman finished second in scoring at that position.
The Browns are scheduled to face the Chargers in Week 9, a team that has featured stronger defense vs. wide receivers than the Ravens thus far, so it remains to be seen if Tillman can repeat anything close to that performance. But as we all know, Winston will play football no matter who the opponent is. And it’s good to know that Tillman is one of the players he wants to be linked with.
Check out where Tillman stands in our overall PPR rankings for Week 9:
Good luck with your Week 9 fantasy matchups!
