00:02 Look, so many teams on by, as you mentioned, with injuries.

00:05 The Cleveland Browns, no stranger to that.

00:08 All of a sudden yesterday, Matt, you know, Dorian Thompson, Robinson, and

00:12 even PJ Walker were just targeting this guy, Cedric Tillman, over and over again.

00:16 I mean, this was not even a player that was drafted in any fantasy league, and

00:20 I'm guessing he's on the waiver wire.

00:21 And I haven't checked Yahoo this morning or ESPN, but

00:24 I'm guessing 80, 90% of leagues he's gotta be unowned.

00:27 But I don't know, their quarterbacking right now is so poor,

00:32 they're down to their third guy or maybe even fourth,

00:34 depending on which direction they end up going this week.

00:36 I know they still have some options there, but

00:39 is Tillman like a player to pick up and add this week?

00:43 >> Well, very talented, this was the kind of guy who dynasty leaguers were all over,

00:48 loved him, loved his talent.

00:49 We're all upset early in the year when he wasn't playing, and

00:52 now it looks like he's getting his chance.

00:53 To me, the big thing with him, whether he's playable or

00:56 not this coming week, is Amari Cooper's injury situation.

00:59 He went out late yesterday's game with a rib injury.

01:02 It's gonna be tough to trust a receiver like this,

01:05 given the quarterback situation.

01:07 But if he's getting targets, and he has the ability, and

01:10 someone's gotta catch some passes on that team, it can't just be David and Joku.

01:14 Elijah Moore's always hit and miss.

01:16 And they're a weird team too,

01:18 cuz you think they would have been running the ball all day yesterday, and

01:20 they really didn't.

01:21 Maybe it's cuz they fell into an early hole, but either way,

01:23 I think disappointing for a lot of Gerald Ford and Kareem Hunt owners.

01:26 So I do think Cedric Tillman has a chance to produce.

01:28 He's a great guy to stash for down the stretch.

01:31 We've seen rookies like him finish the season strong.

01:34 And he's not the only one too, like Jonathan Mingo in a very similar situation

01:38 in Carolina, where he looks to be coming on a little bit, getting some more targets.

01:42 Another guy that was a very popular preseason dynasty guy,

01:45 very deep league streamer, or a sleeper, I should say.

01:48 And they might be able to function as streamers this week,

01:51 especially Mingo, who has a better matchup.

01:53 But I do like Tillman overall as a guy to stash in deeper leagues.
