Risk Flags
1- Target Volume
The Saints' active WR room is fronted by Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, with 2026 draft picks Jordyn Tyson, Bryce Lance, and Barion Brown also occupying roster spots ahead of him once healthy.

FLEX
Cedric Tillman's recent release from the Browns marks a significant drop in his projected value, with no clear path to meaningful volume on any team.
Role & volume
Before his release, Cedric Tillman averaged just 61.5% snap share and 6.4% target share over the last four games, indicating limited usage even when active.
Projected role
As an unsigned free agent, Tillman lacks a clear team affiliation or projected role that would suggest substantial volume in any upcoming season.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Given his current status and recent performance metrics, Tillman's range as a flex option is narrow, with little upside beyond replacement-level production.

Opportunity Flags
1- Role Expansion
New Orleans's WR corps is thinned by injury (Jordyn Tyson on IR with a hamstring, Mason Tipton on PUP), and fringe-role team-changers at Tillman's prior usage level have historically seen their role floor firm up once a club gives them a defined job — an elevation opening exists without needing to unseat Olave.
