Jay Cutler, Jeremy Langford, Zach Miller's Post-Week 10 Fantasy Advice

When you have Jay Cutler or any other member of the Chicago Bears on your fantasy football roster, you learn to take the good with the bad. Sunday happens to be one of those good weeks.

Despite Alshon Jeffery not being 100 percent, everything came up trumps for Cutler in Week 10 against the St. Louis Rams:

Comp./Att.	Yards	YPA	TD	INT	Carries	Rush. Yards
19/24	258	10.8	3	0	3	24

His numbers are somewhat inflated in that he completed two touchdown passes of 80-plus yards to Jeremy Langford and Zach Miller. Each of those TDs was less about Cutler making a great pass and more about Langford and Miller getting a ton of yards after the catch, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Entering Sunday, Cutler was just the No. 22 highest-scoring QB in NFL.com's fantasy leagues. He did miss Chicago's Week 3 shutout at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks, so that somewhat skews his true performance this year.

In standard 12-team leagues, Cutler is right on the fringe of being a QB1. Ideally, you have a more consistent option at quarterback, but starting him wouldn't be a sign of desperation to any extent.

Langford, meanwhile, finished as Chicago's leading rusher and receiver:

Carries	Rush. Yards	TD	Rec.	Targets	9	Rec. TD
20	73	1	7		109	1

As long as Matt Forte is out with a knee injury, Langford retains a healthy amount of fantasy value, especially in points-per-reception leagues. Consider him as more of a flex option until he stops splitting carries with Ka'Deem Carey, though.

Sigmund Bloom of FootballGuys.com argued Carey is the stronger inside runner, which means he will almost certainly continue playing a role in the running game:

If Langford emerges as Chicago's preferred back in Forte's absence, then he starts entering RB2 territory. Otherwise, make sure to temper your expectations for the former Michigan State Spartan. His pass catching should ensure a healthy point output in the future, but without a high volume of rushing yards, Langford has a lower fantasy ceiling.

Miller is undoubtedly the hardest Bears offensive player to peg in terms of value after he had the best game of his career:

Rec.	Targets	Rec. Yards	TD
5	5	107	2

As much as you want to buy into him as a viable fantasy threat, these last two games are likely more aberrations than signs of what's to come. His three TD receptions over the last two weeks are one fewer than he had in his first three NFL seasons combined.

Two factors also make you question whether his numbers Sunday are at all sustainable the rest of the way.

For one, Miller isn't going to turn a two-yard out into an 87-yard touchdown pass on many more occasions. That play was more about bad tackling and terrible pursuit angles by the Rams defense, per the NFL:

In addition, Miller benefited somewhat by Jeffery's groin injury. Jeffery played, but Jeff Dickerson of ESPN noted the 2013 Pro Bowler wasn't looking like himself on the field.

Miller had a big game, but he's not a key member of the Bears passing attack—at least not based on just two weeks of evidence. Until he maintains somewhat similar numbers over a more prolonged stretch of games, don't rush to grab him off the waiver wire unless you're completely out of healthy tight ends on your squad.
