Tomorrow’s Dynasty Star Today: Cedric Tillman

If you drafted Puka Nacua in the fourth round of your rookie draft in 2023, you know how important it can be to buy low on a young player before they explode. Not every player will turn out to be Nacua - after all, he’s statistically the greatest rookie wide receiver of all time. But one of the smartest strategies to be a successful dynasty player is to identify young talent ready to rise up in value in the future. This series will suggest ideas for players primed for a breakout later down the line.

Cedric Tillman, WR CLE

Tillman was a third-round pick out of Tennesee in the 2023 NFL Draft. His college career was mixed - he broke out in 2021, going for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns, highlighted by an incredible game against Alabama where he went for 152 yards and a touchdown. However, the success was cut short as he injured his ankle in 2022 after six games, ultimately missing the rest of the season.
