3. A.J. Terrell

After struggling the first two weeks of the season Terrell bounced back in week three making key plays and helping make life difficult for Geno Smith.  The initial focus in this game is going to be taking away Nick Chubb and the run game or at least attempting to.

The second most important assignment defensively is going to be slowing down Amari Cooper who is off to a fast start. Amari has 219-yards on the season the next closest Cleveland receiver has 70 -yards. This speaks to Brissett’s comfort level with Cooper and the fact the rest of Cleveland’s receivers are struggling early on.

Atlanta’s best move is having Terrell shadow Cooper and attempt to take him out of the game completely forcing another Browns receiver to make a play. Putting Terrell on Cooper give Atlanta their best shot at taking away the Cleveland passing attack while also still packing the box and focusing on stopping the run.
