The Battered Browns Defense

October 19th, 2018

Twice in the past three weeks the Browns have channeled their inner Buccaneers, allowing 45 points to the Raiders in Oakland and 38 to the Chargers in front of the Dawg Pound.

They’re a battered and bruised defense, now down to a third-string cornerback starting. Their starting center is highly questionable, too. Strong video here by the Cleveland.com beat folks.

DC Change Also Changes Browns Fantasy Outlook

October 18th, 2018
In this edition of The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast: Bucs Bulletin, presented by Brandon Legal Group, Todd discusses what last week’s fantasy numbers from Jameis Winston’s first start in 2019 mean for this week.
