Cleveland Browns DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) turned in a career performance in a Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching nine passes for 235 yards and a touchdown. The veteran has been listed with a knee issue on the practice report for the past month or so but he practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation heading into the weekend. He will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. The Steelers have been tough on receivers this season, allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, the Jameis Winston-to-Jeudy connection has been fruitful for the Browns and fantasy gamers this season, even in difficult matchups. He can be treated as a low-end WR1 in fantasy heading into Week 14.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford had one of his most productive games in weeks in a Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos, rolling up 62 yards on 10 touches. Ford will look to build upon that performance on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. The Steelers have been decent against running backs this season, allowing the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, Ford has emerged as the team's preferred passing-down back even with Chubb in the fold, giving him some value as a low-end flex option in PPR leagues.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tillman suffered a concussion in Week 12 and it appears that he's still dealing with the symptoms. As a result, Tillman will miss his second straight game, but will hopefully be back in the mix next week. Both Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore will see increased fantasy value with Tillman out for at least one more game. Moore saw 14 targets last week as he hauled in eight of them for 111 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Jeudy went for over 230 yards during that game, so both players should be fine options for Week 14.

According to Scott Petrak of the Chronicle-Telegram, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) is not practicing on Friday. This is not a good sign for availability heading into the weekend, as Tillman also did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the final injury report later on Friday, as it will likely clarify his status. Tillman sustained this concussion during Week 12's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He could not play last week and is now in danger of missing his second-straight contest. If Tillman cannot suit up, fantasy managers should expect Jerry Jeudy and tight end David Njoku to lead the passing attack against a tough Pittsburgh secondary. Last weekend, Jeudy posted a career-best 235 receiving yards.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) missed another practice on Thursday and is trending toward missing a second straight game in Week 14 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Tillman suffered the concussion in the Week 12 upset win over the Steelers on Thursday night and was inactive for the Monday night loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13. The 24-year-old still has two days to make progress through the league's concussion protocol, but the fact that he's still not practicing at all this late in the week isn't a good sign for his availability this weekend. With Tillman out on Monday against a good Denver defense, receivers Jerry Jeudy (over 200 yards) and Elijah Moore (over 100 yards) and tight end David Njoku (two touchdowns) all went off. An encore for the Browns offense will be tough against Pittsburgh, but all three will have more upside if Tillman is out again.
