Cedric Tillman injury update: Latest on Browns WR for Fantasy Football Week 13

On Sunday, the reinvigorated Cleveland Browns will travel to Empower Field at Mile High to take on the Denver Broncos, hoping to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. They pulled off a shock win over arch-rivals Pittsburgh Steelers in their last outing in Week 12 and improved to 3-8.

The Browns have no room for error. They have to run the table and finish 9-8 to have a shot at making it to the playoffs. But even if they do, there's no guarantee they'd play in the postseason. However, they likely won't think that far ahead and focus solely on trying to score a road win for only the second time this season.

However, they'll have to do it without several stars, including wide receiver Cedric Tillman.

Cedric Tillman injury update: Will WR play in Week 13 vs. Broncos?

Cedric Tillman suffered a concussion in the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers. Cleveland hoped the wide receiver would recover in time for their game against the Broncos, considering he had nine days to do it. Unfortunately, that didn't prove to be the case.

Tillman did not practice throughout the week and was officially ruled out for the game in Denver on Saturday. The sophomore star's absence is a massive blow to the Browns. He was finally making an impact after a disastrous start to the season but has now suffered another setback.

Cedric Tillman stats: How has Browns WR performed this season?

In the first six games of the season, Tillman was targeted only five times and he caught only three passes for nine yards. He had his first big game of the campaign in the Browns' 21-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He caught eight passes for 81 yards.

Tillman had his best game of the year the following week in Cleveland's 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He caught seven passes for 99 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner.

Since Jameis Winston has taken over as the starting quarterback after Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles rupture in the second quarter of the game against the Bengals, the wide receiver has been a critical contributor on offense.

In his last five outings, he has caught 26 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns. Tillman's absence is a massive blow to the Browns' odds of pulling off another upset win. It remains to be seen how they cope without their premier deep threat.
