Jay Cutler

Bears list Jay Cutler (thumb) as doubtful for Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Week 4.

What It Means:

The Bears don't seem anxious to get Cutler back in the fold after he missed practice on both Thursday and Friday. Brian Hoyer was a top-12 fantasy quarterback in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys and draws a plus matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 4. He could be worth a look as a streaming option, depending on what else is available.

Our metrics foresee both quarterbacks playing on Sunday, combining to complete 20 passes for 224 yards with 1.29 touchdowns and 0.74 interceptions. These seem like reasonable expectations for Hoyer.
