Trestman: Jay Cutler "practicing very efficiently"

Jul 31, 2013

"I think he's practicing very efficiently," Bears HC Marc Trestman said of QB Jay Cutler. "He's throwing the ball away and there's nothing wrong with that with the defense that we have. He's checking it down a lot during the practices, all of us have seen that, finishing his progressions. He's just moving forward."

Fantasy Impact:

Trestman has been an OC for eight NFL seasons, and the average pass/run ratio was 57.5%/42.5%. Over the past two years, the Bears have only thrown it 50.8% of the time, so Cutler will most likely attempt more passes this season. If he's more efficient with his throws, he should have a better fantasy season. We currently have him ranked as our #16 QB.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
