The Cleveland Browns are releasing wide receiver Cedric Tillman, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The move is a direct result of Cleveland's 2026 draft investment at the position. The Browns selected WR KC Concepcion at No. 24 and WR Denzel Boston at No. 39, the first time in franchise history dating back to 1950 that Cleveland took two receivers in the first 40 picks of a draft class. With that kind of capital committed, Tillman's spot on the roster became impossible to hold.
What this means for Tillman's fantasy value
Tillman is now a free agent. If he lands with a team that has a thin receiver room, there is at least a waiver wire conversation to be had. Nothing about his destination is confirmed yet, so hold off on any moves until a signing is reported.
Browns' WR depth chart going forward
Concepcion and Boston step into larger roles with Tillman gone. Both were early investments, and the Browns appear committed to building around them. Monitor how the target share shakes out in Cleveland once the depth chart settles.
