From the article
Last year, when Tyson Campbell and Denzel Ward were on the field together as full-time players, the Cleveland pass defense was a shutdown unit against perimeter wide receivers. In their eight games together, the Browns' pass defense allowed only 1.43 fantasy points per target and 7.24 yards per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Thomas Jr. faces elite perimeter defense in Cleveland; shutdown matchup.
Thomas Jr. faces a shutdown perimeter pass defense in Week 1 against Cleveland. When Tyson Campbell and Denzel Ward were on the field together as full-time players in 2025, the Browns allowed only 1.43 fantasy points per target and 7.24 yards per target to perimeter wide receivers—marks that would have ranked third-lowest in each category over a full season. Cleveland was also elite at defending deep passing, allowing only a 31% completion rate and 73.1 passer rating, which would have ranked sixth and seventh best against deep passing.
