MIA QB Jay Cutler - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Los Angeles Chargers

After an odd Week 1 bye due to a hurricane, Jay Cutler debuts as a Dolphin on the road in sunny Los Angeles against the Chargers in an MLS stadium. Exactly all the factors one would imagine when thinking of a season debut...

Nevertheless, Cutler is not a viable starter in 1QB leagues in Week 2, in an offense that will be run-first and rely heavily on Jay Ajayi. The Dolphins were also near the bottom of the league in plays run per game last season, leaving less volume for Cutler to turn into fantasy points.

MIA QB Jay Cutler - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This game has been postponed due to Hurricane Irma and will now be played Week 11. Make sure you do not have any Dolphins or Bucs in your Week 1 fantasy lineups.

MIA QB Jay Cutler - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

CHI QB Jay Cutler - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. New York Giants
Jay Cutler had a great matchup last week, and played terribly. He threw two interceptions and fumbled twice while throwing under 200 yards with just one touchdown. It was an ugly performance, and there's a strong chance the stench carries over into this week.

Not only will Cutler be without his star wideout Alshon Jeffery, but he goes up against a tough Giants defense. New York has allowed the third fewest points to opposing quarterbacks, including just two games of multiple touchdown passes against them.

We don't like Cutler this week, and there's no real reason to be optimistic about him.

CHI QB Jay Cutler - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Tampa Bay
Jay Cutler returned last week and looked pretty good against a tough Vikings defense. This week he gets a much easier matchup against the Buccaneers, who have allowed 857 passing yards and eight touchdowns through the air over the last two games.

Cutler is capable of lighting up the scoreboard, and he a chance to against such a bad defense. The Bears' QB won't be an elite option this week, but he has a high ceiling and is starter-worthy if you need someone at the position.

CHI QB Jay Cutler - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Minnesota
Jay Cutler returns after a long absence due to injury, and he now "gets" to face arguably the best defense in the NFL. The Vikings haven't allowed a 300-yard game all season, and have held opponents to less than 200 yards in consecutive weeks.

Cutler may end up being a decent option against certain matchups moving forward, but this is not that week. It's his first game back, he's in a brutal matchup and there's really nothing to like about him as a fantasy option.

CHI QB Jay Cutler - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Eddie Royal vs. Philadelphia
Jay Cutler played pretty much how we expected him to last week. He had a decent game, going over 200 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception. It's not a poor performance, but it's not exactly a game that you're excited about, either.

Cutler will try his luck this week against the Eagles, a team that played well against the pass in Week 1 against Cleveland. Philly allowed under 200 passing yards and no scores through the air.

We expect Cutler to put similar numbers to Week 1, which makes him a QB2 option in Week 2.
