Browns Defense Draws Difficult Playoff Matchup

Browns Defense Draws Difficult Playoff Matchup

11 months ago

The Cleveland Browns defense turned in an excellent regular season. They allowed the second-fewest passing yards in the league while finishing sixth with 49 sacks and third with 18 interceptions. They will head on the road to face off against the Houston Texans in the first round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. Things will be much different than when the Browns beat Houston 36-22 in Week 16 because star rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud missed that game with a concussion. Houston allowed just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to defenses during the regular season. That being said, Cleveland's defense has been elite all season and could make life tough for the rookie. Treat the Browns as a top-five fantasy defense in DFS contests this weekend.
