Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler got in a full practice on Thursday, easing any concerns anyone might have had about any possible injuries that Cutler may have suffered on Monday against the Lions. Cutler went into the locker room before halftime after a vicious hit from Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, but was able to come back in the second half.
Jay Cutler injury: Full practice signals safe path to playing, but is there fantasy value?
The Chicago quarterback took a hard hit on Monday against the Lions, but appears safe to play this week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Chicago plays the Carolina Panthers this week, the league's 19th ranked passing defense.
Fantasy Take: Cutler is a good quarterback but has never produced at the level of an every-week fantasy star. He has 8 TD and 7 INT in six games, which makes him more like a solid backup or QB2, but he rarely bursts for huge scoring weeks in fantasy football. He’s a QB2 against Carolina.
