Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett (hamstring) tweaked his hamstring early in minicamp drills this week, but that "he'll be fine." The Browns and Garrett aren't going to take any chances in June, and the 28-year-old defensive end should be ready to go for the start of training camp at the end of July. Garrett should be one of the first five defensive ends off the board in IDP fantasy drafts this fall after winning Defensive Player of the Year honors in his seventh year in the NFL. In 16 regular-season starts, he accumulated 42 tackles (33 solo), 14 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 30 QB hits, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Garrett is a pass-rushing beast and has had double-digit sacks in all but his rookie campaign for Cleveland back in 2017. He's hat at least 14 sacks in each of the last three years.

The Cleveland Browns re-signed defensive end Za'Darius Smith to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to sources. Coming off his third Pro Bowl season in 2022 in his only year with the Minnesota Vikings, Smith disappointed in 2023 in his first season in Cleveland, recording 27 tackles (18 solo), 5.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 20 QB hits and a forced fumble in 16 starts. Despite his lack of on-field production, the 31-year-old pass-rusher rated out well and started every game in which he was active. Smith will be playing in his age-32 season in 2024, and although he might not be able to secure double-digit sacks at this point in his career, he should remain a strong contributor on Cleveland's defensive line across from All-Pro Myles Garrett.

Cleveland Browns pass-rusher Myles Garrett was named the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year on Thursday after a dominant campaign. Garrett was an anchor for the Browns' strong defense last season. The 28-year-old All-Pro finished with 42 tackles (33 solo), 14 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 30 QB hits, four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular season contests. It was his sixth straight season with double-digit sacks and his third straight season with at least 14 sacks. Garrett hasn't shown any signs of slowing down and should once again be one of the most feared pass-rushers in the league in 2024. He'll also be one of the first defensive linemen off the board in IDP fantasy drafts.

The Cleveland Browns defense held the New York Jets to 20 points while racking up two sacks and forcing two turnovers in a Week 17 win. They will finish off the regular season with a road matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. Cleveland has already locked up the No. 5 seed in the AFC and plans on resting several key starters in the regular-season finale. Key defensive starters Myles Garrett and Greg Newsome II are two of the players who will not take the field against Cincinnati. Cleveland's defense doesn't have as much upside as most weeks but they are still on the board as a top-10 defense in Week 18.
