Cleveland Browns switching to 3-4 defense
Source: Draft Sharks
New Browns DC Ray Horton said unequivocally in a Thursday radio interview that his defense is going 3-4 next season. The obvious first question for IDP owners is: Whither Jabaal Sheard? He's all OLB in the new front and should hold up fine there. His fantasy value could take a hit with the position eligibility switch, but the new role also could help his pass rushing. Production lagged on that front in his 2nd season. ILB D'Qwell Jackson can play anywhere and should be just fine. DTs Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor must have their roles sorted out. One figures to slide to DE, but it's not clear which would fit such a move better. The Browns will also likely need to seek another OLB starter. Frostee Rucker would be limited at best in

Browns CB Joe Haden will miss today's clash with Dallas because of an oblique injury. That leaves Sheldon Brown and Buster Skrine as the starters. Both are upside plays against a Cowboys offense that likes to throw to its outside WRs. Tony Romo gets at least a slight bump with the absence of the Browns' best cover man. On the plus side, Cleveland will have DT Ahtyba Rubin. He had been questionable with his nagging calf injury. He carries significant upside against a weak Dallas interior O-line.

Ahh the life of defensive lineman in the world of IDP fantasy football. Draft a top lineman like Jared Allen, expect big things, and get nothing to show for it opening weekend. Allen wasn’t he only top lineman on draft day with a disappointing week one, and we can bet many of them will turn things around this weekend.
Inconsistency is always a problem for this position but we have a few rookies that stood out last week. One is Chandler Jones of New England and another is Derek Wolfe from the Denver Broncos.

Talk about a great kickoff weekend for defensive linemen as many of the top-flight studs have favorable matchups. To get the party started we have Jason Pierre-Paul, Just Tuck and Osi Umenyiora will face off against a Cowboys offensive line that has serious continuity issues.
Not good for Tony Romo, and even if the veteran quarterback is precise with his pre-snap reads it’s likely he will have a few busted plays and these lineman will re-introduce him to the Giants home field, literally.
Speaking of MetLife Stadium, the Jets will also host a home game this weekend as Mario Williams and the Bills imposing front four come to town. Look for Williams and Mark Anderson to harass Mark Sanchez as the Jets right tackle

Last year Jabaal Sheard broke onto the scene and put together an unexpected DL2 performance for IDP fantasy owners. Could Andre Branch be the second coming?
Only time will tell, but it appears he will earn a three down role right away, and while he probably won’t play the same high snap count we saw from Sheard, his prospects of a breakout rookie year are encouraging.
With emerging star Jeremy Mincey playing opposite bookend, expect opposing offenses to focus on the veteran is the first option for double teams and chips.
Branch was one of the better pass rushers in college last year, and while I don’t expect him to reach double digits, he was brought into Jacksonville
