The Cleveland Browns are heading into a tricky matchup against the New York Jets in Week 10. It won't be as difficult as it would've been a few weeks ago, as the Jets traded Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Michael Carter II away by the trade deadline.
Cleveland is starting Dillon Gabriel at quarterback once again, and as the Browns' injury report revealed, they will be getting Cedric Tillman back to pair with Jerry Jeudy in the wide receiver room.
But, should fantasy managers start either Browns' wide receivers in fantasy in Week 10? Based on the last few weeks with Gabriel as the starter, the decision is an easy one to make.
Should Jerry Jeudy or Cedric Tillman be started in fantasy Week 10?
Tillman is back from a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. Thanks to the bye week, he got five weeks of rest and will return to be alongside Jeudy in the Browns' wide receiver room.

— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) November 9, 2025Isaiah Bond is out, leaving Tillman and Jeudy as the top WRs in Cleveland. But, for fantasy purposes, neither Tillman nor Jeudy should be in lineups.
Jeudy has yet to crack double-digits in fantasy since his Week 1 performance with Joe Flacco. With Gabriel as the starter, he's put up 3.5, 9.3, 3.7, and 0.0 points.
Tillman has yet to play with Gabriel this season, but based on the lack of usage for the wide receivers when Gabriel is the starter, it's hard to imagine he's worth a start in Week 10.
He did have two double-digit performances before landing on injured reserve, but Tillman, in his first game back, can't be started with confidence against the Jets.

Even though Gardner is off the team, rookie Azareye'h Thomas, Brandon Stephens, and Jarvis Brownlee make up a strong cornerback room, giving the Browns' wide receivers a very tough matchup in Week 10.
Jeudy hasn't been good with Gabriel as the starter this season, and Tillman is in his first week back from an injured reserve stint for a hamstring injury.
None of the Browns' wide receivers should be in lineups for fantasy managers, barring multiple injuries, bye week issues, and no better options on waivers.
Tillman and Jeudy should be benched in Week 10 against the Jets, as they aren't startable in most matchups, let alone one as difficult as this Jets matchup.
