Cedric Tillman vs Jerry JeudyWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Jerry Jeudy is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 10.1 PPG to Cedric Tillman's 8.2 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Jerry Jeudy is the better fantasy play this season.

Jerry Jeudy has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.9-PPG advantage is real (10.1 to 8.2), and Jerry Jeudy's 3 touchdowns show scoring upside. Cedric Tillman is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
