Fantasy football managers around the world were hoping the Browns would bench Deshaun Watson in favor of Jameis Winston. Instead, Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles tear, and after a brief lead from Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Jameis Winston started in Week 8.
And the attack was immediately more exciting.

Not only did the Browns beat the Ravens, but they ended up producing a top-five fantasy wide receiver in any given week. And not only was he in the top five, but Cedric Tillman was second in scoring at the position.
The Browns will face the Chargers in Week 9, a team that has had a stronger defense against 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 win the football no matter the opponent, and it’s good to know that Tillman is one of the players he’s looking to connect with.
