"McCarthy is entering his de facto rookie campaign after a knee injury cost the 2024 10th overall pick his entire first season in the pros. McCarthy is expected to start in a QB-friendly Kevin O'Connell scheme loaded with targets (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson) that helped Sam Darnold and Kirk Cousins to top-12 fantasy campaigns (PPG) during each of O'Connell's three seasons in Minnesota. All three offenses were pass-heavy and scored at least 80% of their TDs through the air. A 22-year-old with no NFL experience, McCarthy is an obvious unknown, but he can add some value with his legs and is well positioned for a productive first season. He's an attractive late-round sleeper target."

"Unfortunately for McCarthy, his 10th career start came to an early end, as he attempted just one pass in the second half before informing head coach Kevin O'Connell that the small hairline fracture in his throwing hand was presenting issues with gripping the football. After having his entire 2024 rookie season wiped out by a meniscus tear in his right knee, McCarthy missed seven total games in 2025 due to a right high-ankle sprain, a concussion and then the fractured hand. When available, he showed strong scrambling ability (181 rushing yards and four TDs), but he still has a long way to go as a passer. On the season, McCarthy completed just 57.6 percent of his throws for 6.7 yards per attempt and an 11:12 TD:INT, and he also took 27 sacks on 270 dropbacks (10 percent sack rate) while fumbling six times, losing two. The 22-year-old will tentatively head into 2026 atop Minnesota's depth chart, but Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported Sunday that the Vikings are expected to explore more established options at quarterback via trade or free agency this offseason, potentially forcing McCarthy to compete for the starting job in training camp."

Trends

"Tillman is entering his third NFL season after what appeared to be a breakout 2024 campaign was derailed by a Week 12 season-ending concussion. The 2023 third-round pick wasn't much of a factor during his first 20 NFL games, but that changed when Amari Cooper was traded prior to Week 7 last season. Over the next four weeks, Tillman would average 9.8 targets (eight-plus in all four) and 18.6 fantasy points (three with 18-plus points). His season ended the following week, but was enough to provide optimism about his future. Cleveland's QB situation is uncertain, but Tillman has a lock on No. 2 duties opposite Jerry Jeudy. Consider the 25-year-old in the late rounds."

"Tillman was responsible for the Browns' longest play for the second consecutive week, and five of his last eight receptions have gone for more than 20 yards. Unfortunately for the third-year wideout, Cleveland's quarterback situation all season was a mess that limited his growth following a promising campaign in 2024, and Tillman had just five catches over the final seven games this season. He ended the regular season with 21 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 third-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and should be among the team's top three wideouts in 2026, but his fantasy value will depend on organizational changes during the offseason."

	Cedric Tillman's target share has decreased by 70.66% over the past 6 weeks.
	Cedric Tillman's targets have decreased by 71.43% over the past 6 weeks.
	Cedric Tillman's receiving yards have increased by 78.57% over the past 6 weeks.
	Cedric Tillman's receptions have decreased by 75.0% over the past 12 weeks.
	Cedric Tillman's receiving yards per attempt has increased by 300+% over the past 6 weeks.
