Smith reiterated that Cutler's symptoms were not displayed immediately and that the team goes beyond the normal concussion protocol. Smith said Sunday that Cutler was feeling better at the end of the game, although Cutler did cancel a Monday morning radio show appearance. Cutler was replaced Sunday night by Jason Campbell.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners will have to wait and see before making a decision on Cutler. If he can’t play in Week 11, expect Brandon Marshall’s fantasy value to take a hit as Cutler has been locked in on the wide receiver this season.
Cutler has been a fringe No. 1 fantasy starter in most weeks. Campbell’s fantasy value is much lower.
