Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Cedric Tillman (hamstring) placed on IR
The Browns placed WR Cedric Tillman on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact
Tillman went down with a hamstring injury this past week. He will now miss at least the next four games. Cleveland signed Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster.

J.J. McCarthy (ankle) could see some activity this week
J.J. McCarthy (ankle) could practice on a limited basis later this week.
Fantasy Impact
McCarthy has missed the Vikings’ last two games due to an ankle injury, but the young QB seems to be trending in the right direction. He will not play Sunday against the Browns, but he could get some activity in practice late this week, possibly running the scout team for the Vikings. Barring any setback, McCarthy appears to be on track to return in Week 7 following the Vikings’ bye.

Braelon Allen likely to land on IR with MCL sprain
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is “likely” to land on injured reserve (IR) due to an MCL sprain he suffered in Week 4.
Fantasy Impact
Allen is expected to receive additional opinions before the Jets place him on IR, but if he does, he will be required to miss a minimum of four games. That would give him a timeline to return against the Cleveland Browns on Nov. 9. Allen has 76 rushing yards and one score this season. Breece Hall should continue to receive the majority of the snaps, and Isaiah Davis could have more action in Allen’s stead.
