BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Cleveland’s defense looked elite in their Week 1 matchup against the Bengals. They allowed just three points to Cincinnati and held Joe Burrow to a Week 1 low 2.6 pass yards per attempt. Having a dominant pass rusher like Za'Darius Smith play alongside Myles Garrett elevates this defense to degrees we couldn’t imagine.
There were only five players with four or more QB Hits in Week 1; two of those five included both Garrett and Smith. This duo will give opposing offenses trouble all season long and make this defense playable almost every week for fantasy.
This will be another division game as the Browns travel to Pittsburgh in Week 2. Granted, it was against the Niners, but Pittsburgh’s offense did not look promising in their first game. Despite their offseason changes, the offensive line still did not look good, and the team didn’t try to establish a run game whatsoever.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson is expected to be out for this game, making it even more difficult for Kenny Pickett and this offense to get something going. I expect another dominant performance from Cleveland’s offense, with Garrett and Smith shredding the Steelers’ offensive line.
