BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~225
ANALYSIS: The Browns were one of my favorite defenses coming into last season, but they didn't quite pan out. They had an up-and-down season as a fantasy unit, but their actual defensive performance wasn't that bad. As I mentioned in my draft article, when I mentioned how good the early season schedule was for the Browns, last year, Cleveland was 7th in passing DVOA and 12th in overall DVOA. Those are pretty solid numbers.
They always have a high-sack ceiling with Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney healthy, and Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome II are one of the league’s top starting cornerback pairings. The Browns can't really stop the run, but they can sack the quarterback and have solid cover corners, that's what you want from a fantasy defense because you get points for sacks and turnovers, not for rushing yards allowed.
The only issue will be that their offense with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback could put their defense in bad positions. However, that won't be a concern much at the beginning of the season since they start the season against the Panthers, Jets, Steelers, and Falcons. I'm going to back the talent on the Browns roster and say that can be a top ten or 12 defense this year when all is said and done.
