2025 Browns WR1 battle centers on Cedric Tillman and Jerry Jeudy, with Amari Cooper’s departure reshaping targets. Tillman flashed a boom-bust, red-zone-friendly profile during a late-season burst, while Jeudy offered a steady, high-target floor in shorter-area work. Negative-game scripts and QB rotation complicate the landscape, but Jeudy’s volume gives him a safer baseline, making him the probable WR1 in many weeks if Cleveland’s passing improves even modestly.

With an unsettled quarterback situation and limited upgrades at pass-catchers beyond tight end Harold Fannin Jr., Week-to-week gains will hinge on health and how Cleveland distributes targets. Tillman’s upside remains real in half-PPR formats if he secures a consistent red-zone role. In contrast, Jeudy projects as the safer anchor, especially in full-PPR where volume alone sustains fantasy value through a rocky 2025 pass game.
