Dolphins OC: QB Jay Cutler 'getting more and more comfortable'

Nov 10, 2017

Dolphins OC Clyde Christensen not only said Cutler's becoming more comfortable in the Dolphins' offense but that he also had his best game of the season last week versus the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

Saying Cutler had his best game last week was an understatement. Against the Raiders, Cutler set season-highs in completions (34), completion percentage (81%), yards (311), and touchdowns (3). It was by far his best fantasy performance of the season.

Cutler has a tougher go of it this week, though, facing a Carolina Panthers defense ranked fifth in our aFPA vs. QBs rankings. We have Cutler ranked as our No. 24 QB for the week, so you might want to look elsewhere for a starting QB in your fantasy lineup.

However, for forward-thinking fantasy owners, Cutler has three fantastic matchups in his next four games, according to our aFPA metric, so he should be someone you keep on your bench for streaming purposes.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Fantasy Impact:

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
