Fantasy Football Quarterback Streaming Week 7: Blake Bortles Can Deliver in a Nice Spot
Jay Cutler, Miami Dolphins
Yahoo Ownership: 15%
Just when we thought we could quit Jay Cutler forever, he goes on the road and helps the Dolphins upset the Falcons, putting up a respectable (for him this year) 11.94 fantasy points in the process.
Cutler did that sans DeVante Parker -- granted Parker isn't a lock to return this week -- and now he has a delightful home matchup against the Jets. Yes, the Jets haven't been the nightmare we all assumed they'd be, and Cutler did struggle his way to 11.7 fantasy points in the Week 3 meeting between these two teams (needing a meaningless last-second touchdown to get there).
But we have to believe in our process here, and Cutler checks some boxes this week.
Miami has a 21.0-point implied total and is a 3.5-point favorite. This is a game the Dolphins are expected to win, and in his career, Cutler has performed much better in victories.
| Split | Games | Yards Per Game | Touchdowns | Picks | Adjusted Yards/Attempt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Win | 71 | 238.2 | 134 | 44 | 6.85 |
| Loss | 73 | 224.8 | 79 | 106 | 6.39 |
Admittedly, Cutler is a reach as a streamer in one-QB leagues, although you could do worse this week. He makes a lot more sense as a solid second starter in two-quarterback formats.
Our Week 7 projections have Mr. DGAF as QB22, forecasting him for 13.83 fantasy points.
