Chicago Bears – Fantasy Forecast – Week 16
Chicago Bears 8-6 at Philadelphia Eagles 8-6
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Jay Cutler
#7 Ranked QB
Now that we’ve seen him play we can safely tell you that you should start Cutler. The floor is SO HIGH when you have offensive weapons like Brandon Marshall (Cutler’s boyfriend, let’s be real), Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte… He can only be so bad if he tries. Last week he passed for 265 yards and three TDs. Look for the same numbers this week because Philadelphia gives up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing QBs. Let him eat cake! And by the way, the Eagles also give up the absolute most points to opposing WRs so this will get ugly, as in AWESOME, if you own Cutler, Marshall or Jeffery.
Other Studs: Matt Forte (RB) #5, Brandon Marshall (WR) #4, Alshon Jeffery (WR) #6
Gut Calls
Martellus Bennett
#9 Ranked TE
Bennett is a PPR option more than a standard league option. He did catch all six of his targets last week for 71 yards, but then he fumbled… The Eagles give up the 3rd fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs, so he is a little risky. But aren’t all TEs a little risky this year?
Bench Warmers
Chicago Defense
#25 Ranked DEF
Some people still haven’t bought in to the Foles phenomenon. Well, we have because we actually watch football. Anyway, don’t play your defense against Foles and especially don’t do that if your defense isn’t very good, a.k.a. the Bears.
