DraftCall Analytics

Start Cedric Tillman over Elic Ayomanor in 2026.

Cedric Tillman averaged 8.2 PPG in 2025 to Elic Ayomanor's 6.0, a 2.2 point per game edge. Both play wide receivers, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit.

The Bottom Line

Cedric Tillman has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.2-PPG advantage is real (8.2 to 6.0), and Cedric Tillman's 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Elic Ayomanor is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Cedric Tillman vs Elic Ayomanor: The Full Breakdown

Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Cedric Tillman (Cleveland Browns) finished the 2025 season averaging 8.2 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Elic Ayomanor (Tennessee Titans) came in at 6.0 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Cedric Tillman carries a 2.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Cedric Tillman turned 78 targets into 612 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Elic Ayomanor converted 89 looks into 515 yards and 4 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Cedric Tillman has his bye in Week 10, and Elic Ayomanor rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
