Cedric Tillman vs Terry McLaurin: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Cedric Tillman and Terry McLaurin is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.3 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Cedric Tillman averaged 8.2 PPG with the Cleveland Browns across 14 games, and Terry McLaurin posted 9.5 with the Washington Commanders in 10.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Cedric Tillman turned 78 targets into 612 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Terry McLaurin converted 60 looks into 582 yards and 3 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 Terry McLaurin rests in Week 7. 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.
