After being so dysfunctional and picking in the top ten for pretty much every year in the last decade, the Cleveland Browns have been able to put together a pretty impressive defensive unit. They’ve been impressive to this point, holding the Steelers and the Saints, two normally high-powered offenses, to under 25 points.

Next up is a dream come true for the Browns defense, as they’ll host a Jets team with a rookie quarterback. Sam Darnold is making just his third NFL start and he’s been about as up and down as a rookie quarterback can to this point.

The Browns defense has put up 11 points and nine points in fantasy football during their first two weeks. ESPN projects them to score 7.4 this week against a rookie quarterback who has already thrown three interceptions in just two games.

If you were thinking outside the box during your draft and selected the Browns defense, make sure you start them this week.
