Summary

The Browns made big strides defensively last season, ranking 10th overall. They didn't get many fantasy points, though, coming in 30th in fantasy points scored. The Browns were much better limiting points and yards than the previous few seasons, which is encouraging for the future. Cleveland has a shutdown secondary. Joe Haden is as good as it gets at cornerback, which helped the Browns finish second against the pass. The Browns will struggle against the rush, though, after finishing 30th against the run last season. This should continue to be an area of concern for the Browns as they lack top run stuffers at tackle. The Browns have a huge strength on special teams with Josh Cribbs manning the return game. Cribbs is an explosive return man and always has a chance to break a big play with the ball in his hands.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Browns are an improving fantasy defense/special teams. If they can start getting a few more sacks and turnovers, the Browns can be worth using on almost a weekly basis. But until that happens, consider them a platoon unit at best.
