Availability
The Browns' D/ST logged four sacks and a fumble recovery while allowing 19 points in Thursday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Cleveland's stellar play on defense was a big reason that they were able to pick up an upset win on Thursday. They were able to make a few big plays to help change the course of the game, and they only allowed 19 points over the course of the night. This is a talented unit but should only be started in favorable matchups for the remainder of the season.
The Browns D/ST allowed 35 points, 259 passing yards, and 214 rushing yards in the loss to the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
The Browns' defense tallied one interception, one fumble recovery, and one sack in the loss to the Saints. They struggled to keep tabs on Taysom Hill, who accounted for 158 total yards between rushing and receiving. They will face a tough matchup with the Steelers on the schedule in Week 12.
The Browns D/ST allowed 24 points, 289 passing yards, and 124 rushing yards in the win over the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
The Browns' defense tallied three sacks, including one on the final play of the game to seal the win. The defense will have a tough matchup with the Chargers and Justin Herbert on the schedule in Week 9.
