Cleveland’s 41-17 setback to Baltimore exposed a fragile balance: the defense has carried the load, but the offense remains stagnant. Joe Flacco’s veteran edge isn’t a cure in Stefanski’s scheme, leaving Browns fantasy assets vulnerable as the team sits 0-2 despite outgaining opponents. Myles Garrett stands out up front, yet a defense cannot win games alone when the offense can’t move the ball. A Week 3 clash with Green Bay could spark adjustments if the attack finally shows signs of life.

Outgaining opponents hasn’t translated to wins; conservative play and costly turnovers continue to hobble Cleveland. The path to salvation hinges on a more functional run game and better ball security. If the offense improves, Garrett’s ceiling could translate to fantasy gains; otherwise, the season risks slipping away as the schedule stiffens.
