How will Matt Forte do this season?
Asked in: Running Backs, Chicago Bears
I think top 10 RB this year... lots of points from the passing game of course. The Bears have talent at the skill positions if they can get improved play from the O-line they could be tough.
How will Jay Cutler do this season?
Asked in: Quarterbacks, Chicago Bears
He should produce pretty well. He'll get sacked more than any other QB though because he holds onto the ball too long.

Do you think Jay Cutler is overrated or underrated?
Asked in: Quarterbacks, Chicago Bears
This year and this year only, I actually think Jay Cutler may be slightly underrated. I still feel like he needs a better offensive line and he needs to get rid of the ball sooner, but I believe he has the potential to put up some really solid numbers.
Who is a better draft pick: Darren McFadden or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Darren McFadden, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears
I think McFadden could have another big year. I'm also scared of Forte losing some goal line looks...
Who is a better draft pick: Rashard Mendenhall or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears
Forte, especially in PPR. He's been one of the only bright spots in the Bears offense the last few years.
Who is a better draft pick: Lesean McCoy or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears
Forte, but they are similar players. I would take anyone in the high-flying Eagles offense.
Who is a better draft pick: Michael Turner or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears
A lot of people really like Matt Forte this year - including numberFire's draft kit! - but Turner is my choice here. He's a really safe choice.
Who is a better draft pick: Matt Forte or Maurice Jones-Drew?
Asked in: Matt Forte, Maurice Jones-Drew, Running Backs, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars
I actually think Forte, but you can't go wrong with either of them. Both will score and both are good receiving backs.
Who is a better draft pick: David Garrard or Jay Cutler?
Asked in: David Garrard, Jay Cutler, Quarterbacks, Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears
Who is a better draft pick: Jay Cutler or Kyle Orton?
Asked in: Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Quarterbacks, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos
Cutler, just because he has no competition. If things go sour in Denver, Orton will lose his gig again.
Who is a better draft pick: Jay Cutler or Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Asked in: Jay Cutler, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Quarterbacks, Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills
Cutler (unless sacks count against you). I don't think Fitzpatrick will repeat his success from last year.
Who is a more exciting player: Rashard Mendenhall or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Rashard Mendenhall, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears
Who is a more exciting player: Lesean McCoy or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears
Who is a more exciting player: Michael Turner or Matt Forte?
Asked in: Michael Turner, Matt Forte, Running Backs, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears
Forte, mostly because of his effect on the passing game. You know what you're getting from Turner every game and every down.

Who is a more exciting player: Braylon Edwards or Johnny Knox?
Asked in: Braylon Edwards, Johnny Knox, Wide Receivers, New York Jets, Chicago Bears
Braylon since he will be starting. Don't really now what's going on with the Chicago receiving corps.
Who is a more exciting player: Johnny Knox or Danny Woodhead?
Asked in: Johnny Knox, Danny Woodhead, Wide Receivers, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots

Who is a more exciting player: Johnny Knox or Brandon Marshall?
Asked in: Johnny Knox, Brandon Marshall, Wide Receivers, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins
Brandon Marshall--even though Chad Henne is throwing to him. It doesn't look like Knox will get that much playing time.
Who is a more exciting player: Johnny Knox or Deion Branch?
Asked in: Johnny Knox, Deion Branch, Wide Receivers, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots
Neither look like they're going to get much playing time, but I'd say Knox.
Who is a more exciting player: Johnny Knox or Mike Thomas?
Asked in: Johnny Knox, Mike Thomas, Wide Receivers, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars
Mike Thomas. Really the only receiver in Jax. Knox has to compete with Hester, Roy, and Earl Bennett.
Who is a more exciting player: David Garrard or Jay Cutler?

Who is a more exciting player: Jay Cutler or Kyle Orton?
Asked in: Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Quarterbacks, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos
Right now, I'd have to go with the EX-Bears QB in Orton. Unfortunately, John Fox may limit his opportunities this season.
Who will be better this year Victor Cruz or Earl Bennett?
Asked in: New York Giants, Chicago Bears
Earl Bennett would be my guess, although I can't say either is going to be a world beater.
In a PPR league which RB should I start this week? I have Peterson, Forte, and Steven Jackson.
Asked in: Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, Running Backs, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams
Hmm, Forte and Jackson are about equal in my book as well. I think I'd lean towards Forte.
Who to start in the flex spot, Matt Forte (vs. ATL) or LeGarrette Blount (vs. DET)?
Asked in: Matt Forte, LeGarrette Blount, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions
I would roll with Forte this week. He is going to get the carries and the looks through the passing game. I think they will be down so Forte is in for a solid week 1.
Who is a greater risk: Ryan vs. Philadelphia (Home) or Cutler vs. New Orleans (Away)?
Asked in: Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia D/ST, Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears, New Orleans D/ST
I think Cutler is the greater risk regardless of the matchup. He has some big weeks but tons of bust weeks too.
Which RB should I play? I can choose between AP, Matt Forte, and Jahvid Best
Asked in: Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte, Jahvid Best, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears
AP DOMINATES the Lions, traditionally. Forte is running against a Green Bay team that is second worst in the NFL against RBs--not to mention that he accounted for more than half of the Bears offense last week. Though MIN has not been great against the run the past 2 weeks, I would put Best in the third spot behind AP and Forte.
Nicks/Evan Moore/NYJ for Brady/Mike Thomas/CHI???

I feel like GAMBLING...on my 2nd WR (PPR) so WHO you like : Johnny Knox, Michael Jenkins or Victor Cruz?
Asked in: Johnny Knox, Chicago Bears, Michael Jenkins, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants
Should I start the Bears or the Falcons D today? Bears v Car, and Atl v Sea
Asked in: Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons
Even though Atl has been underperforming this year, I'd go with them against Seattle. The Seahawks are terrible.
Week 5 - Sproles over Best / Moore over Knox?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Jahvid Best, Lance Moore, Johnny Knox, New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears
I would say give the projections a day or two to settle in with injuries and weather, but yeah, the algorithm certainly loves Sproles right now.
Who wins tonight: Lions or Bears?
Asked in: Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Matt Forte, Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Jay Cutler
Do you think it's a good idea that the NFL is having games in London?
Asked in: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mike Williams (TB), Chicago Bears, Matt Forte, Jay Cutler
I think any cultural imposition on the British is the least we could do after that whole colonization thing...too soon? But seriously, they're thinking about a permanent team in London - not sure how they'd play West Coast teams unless it's in a neutral stadium.
Should i start him or Ryan Grant?
Asked in: Ryan Grant, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Running Backs
