Fantasy Upside
Reunited and it feels so gooooood. Jay Cutler leaves the broadcast booth before even putting his headset on to play for Adam Gase once again. With Gase as offensive coordinator in Chicago in 2015, Cutler recorded his highest yards-per-attempt average (7.58) of his career (minimum 10 games).
Fantasy Downside
Cutler's 3,659 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions with Gase were only good enough for QB18 in fantasy points per game in weeks where Cutler threw more than ten passes (left one game with an injury, hurt in another). The Dolphins have also made it clear they want to make Jay Ajayi the focal point of the offense.
2017 Bottom Line
Cutler is certainly on the radar in two-QB leagues, but in traditional one-QB leagues, his ceiling is likely that of a bye-week fill-in or streaming option, given his results with Gase in 2015.
