Cleveland Browns
DST - Cleveland Browns
Availability
Browns D/ST allowed 160 passing yards, 131 rushing yards, and six points in a 13-6 win over the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
The Browns' defense tallied two sacks and four passes defensed in the win over the Steelers. They held the Steelers' offense to just three field goal attempts and ended a late comeback attempt. The Browns will end their season in Week 18 against the Bengals.
The Cleveland Browns D/ST managed to get two sacks and limit the Bills to 23 points in the Browns' 23-20 loss.
Fantasy Impact
The Browns' defense didn't get many counting stats for fantasy purposes, but holding the Bills to 23 points and giving the offense a fighting chance counts for something. They should have an easier time getting sacks and turnovers against Pittsburgh next week.
The Browns D/ST logged three sacks while also failing to force a turnover in a 31-3 loss to the Bears in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact
The unit struggled to slow down the Chicago offense, allowing multiple passing and rushing touchdowns in the loss. The unit faces another difficult test against a high-powered Buffalo Bills offense in Week 16.
The Browns D/ST recorded one sack while also forcing one turnover (one interception) in a 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
The unit fell victim to an explosive Tennessee ground attack, allowing 5.3 yards per carry in the loss. The defense will be a risky option for fantasy managers against another strong rushing offense for the Chicago Bears in Week 15.
The Browns D/ST allowed 26 points on 252 total yards with one sack on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Besides a big catch by George Kittle late in the first half, they did not allow any big plays. But they also only recorded one sack and did not force a turnover. In order to win most games the rest of this season, they're likely going to have to force a turnover or two.
