Vikings aim to rebound with three key trench battles shaping their London showdown with the Browns. Minnesota’s injury-riddled lineup must lean on disciplined protection and a run-pass balance to slow Cleveland’s relentless front. The battle lines: Darrisaw versus Garrett on the edge, the Vikings’ interior against Maliek Collins, and Jonathan Greenard pressuring Dillon Gabriel while Browns tackles try to slow the rush. A win would put Minnesota at 3-2 before the bye, while Cleveland looks to stabilize behind its rookie QB and a balanced attack.

Myles Garrett's health decision looms over the Browns in London as Cleveland leans on rookie Dillon Gabriel. Garrett's presence powers the league's top end rush, and a limited performance could sap the Browns defense's fantasy upside while inviting Minnesota to test the interior on the road.

Minnesota arrives with travel advantages and a reshuffled line for Cleveland, where Donovan Jackson is out and Brian O Neill is banged up. If Garrett is limited, the Vikings' offense tightens its window of opportunity, while Browns defenders like Maliek Collins and Isaiah McGuire must compensate. Travel, rookie QB start, and injuries tilt this one toward careful fantasy play on both sides.

Detroit Lions improved to 3-1 with a 34-10 home win over the Cleveland Browns, turning defense into points with three takeaways that yielded 17 on the board. Kalif Raymond sparked the special teams phase with a fearless punt-return TD, while Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown connected on a pivotal sequence late in the game. Aidan Hutchinson anchored a stout performance, and the offensive line kept Myles Garrett at bay for a clean pocket. Detroit weathered penalties and negative plays, but closed strong, setting a clear identity as a disciplined, adaptable team. Terrion Arnold and D. J. Reed left with injuries, yet the Lions pressed forward, moving to 3-1 and eyeing the next challenge.

The Lions showcased growth in situational football, finishing drives after turnovers and leveraging a balanced approach that mixed run discipline with timely passes. The defense showed versatility, while the offense capitalized on takeaway opportunities. The win underscores Detroit's confidence in its quarterback, its two most trusted playmakers, and a defensive front that can bend but rarely break when pressure ratchets up.

Browns fall 34-10 to Detroit as their defense again showed steel while the offense stalled. Cleveland’s run defense lingered on the field, but Quinshon Judkins delivered a gritty 82-yard, one-TD effort to keep the ground game relevant. Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond flashed big-play ability on the opening drive, while QB Joe Flacco was pressured into two interceptions and a fumble. Detroit’s Devin Bush and Aidan Hutchinson anchored the win with sharp discipline and relentless edge pressure.

Fantasy takeaway: Judkins is the clear volume back in Cleveland, with Jeudy and Bond offering sporadic big-play upside as Browns receivers. Detroit’s defense remains a strong streamer option against weak offenses, while Browns’ offense likely needs protection improvements to unlock the pass game and protect Flacco from further sacks and turnovers.

Myles Garrett is drawing double teams at a near-70% rate through three games, fueling a high sack pace and elite pressure. Inside help from Maliek Collins and Mason Graham is easing the Browns’ interior and letting Garrett win with technique. Cleveland’s defense thrives, keeping Garrett locked in as a top fantasy DL option even as opponents gameplan around him.

Among peers, Garrett’s rate stacks him against the league’s best when it comes to pressure despite extra attention. The piece compares him to Micah Parsons, Aidan Hutchinson, TJ Watt and Rashan Gary, highlighting how anatomy of the Browns’ front affects sack upside. Fantasy managers should weigh matchup, game script and interior pressure as Garrett remains a must-start staple.
