Expect a tough defensive battle this week when the New England Patriots host the Cleveland Browns in Foxborough.
Those two just happen to have the top two fantasy football defense/special teams units from Week 7, when the Browns forced four turnovers – including a Tyson Campbell’s interception return for a touchdown – against the Miami Dolphins.
The Patriots, meanwhile, racked up five sacks and returned a fumble for a score against the Tennessee Titans.
WEEK 8 BYES: Arizona, Detroit, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, L.A. Rams, Seattle
