Despite these departures, the Browns are still returning most of their 2025 starters, and their defense ranked fourth in defensive EPA allowed per play last season. That may make it hard for Lawrence – who was buoyed by an outlier nine rushing touchdowns in 2025 – to find high-level success.

Negative signalProjection

Lawrence faces tough Browns defense after relying on unsustainable rushing TD pace.

Lawrence is a sit in Week 1 against the Browns despite Cleveland losing Myles Garrett and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. The Browns' defense ranked fourth in defensive EPA allowed per play last season and is still returning most of their 2025 starters. Lawrence was buoyed by an outlier nine rushing touchdowns in 2025, making it hard for him to replicate that success against a strong Browns defense.
