Jay Cutler delivers 3 touchdowns for fantasy owners in Week 5
Cutler nearly threw for 300 yards to go with his three total touchdowns against Carolina. We break down the fantasy implications.


Cutler lost a fumble, adding to his miscues that led to the Chicago Bears losing down the stretch. This was his second consecutive game with two or more turnovers.
Fantasy impact: Fortunately the mistakes don't hurt his fantasy value much. Cutler checked down often in Week 5, dishing off 12 targets to Matt Forte out of the backfield. He did hook up with Alshon Jeffery for 97 yards and a touchdown in the red zone, but Brandon Marshall didn't make much of an impact once again.
Next week the Chicago Bears face the Atlanta Falcons on the road. The Falcons defense is struggling without many playmakers on that side of the ball. Cutler is in great shape to post QB1 numbers again in Week 6.
