Snap Counts
Here is a look at the snap counts for the position room last season:
The 2025 snap counts:
Predicted Week One Roster
Jerry Jeudy
Cedric Tillman
Isaiah Bond
Draft Pick
Free Agent
DeAndre Carter/Gage Larvadain/Returner
The Cleveland Browns appear to have found their tandem at the top of the depth chart with Jeudy and Tillman. If Tillman has a good 2025 then expect him to get extended between March and July 2026 as this is when the window opens for him to start looking at an extension.
The question is can they get a third wide receiver to join that group as you need three to thrive in the modern NFL. They could have less of a need than other teams if they plan to keep using Fannin here but the flexibility of what you do with the fifth skill player allows someone with Kevin Stefanski's creativity to thrive.
I struggle to see Thrash breaking out and cementing a place on the roster which means it will be Isaiah Bond or an addition to the roster. This could be via the draft or free agency, at this stage it is too early to tell but there are options which is good.
Cedric Tillman separation metrics in Week 1, per@FantasyPtsData (min. 9 routes):
Separation Score: 0.33 (9th of 111 WRs)
Route Win Rate: 31.0% (8th) https://t.co/qA22jb0G2c

Despite him being waived I see a chance later on in the season that they give Larvadain a shot at being the returner over Carter. If the season is over then you want to look ahead to the future. The hope is if he can do the returning, that he offers much more in the receiving game rather than burning an offensive roster spot. His metrics are very positive. The sixth wide receiver spot can often be an open battle during preseason.
We keep hearing his name but I didn’t know Gage Larvadain had such interesting company / metrics to help explain his production so far as a rookie in camp #Browns pic.twitter.com/zQSmOGyQbh
