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.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
