Week 5 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football: Jay Cutler and 3 Tough Decisions

Honey, how do we feel about Jay Cutler? 

That was an actual question that I lobbed through the house as I determined how I felt about the most enigmatic fantasy player in Week 5. 

I mean, I never feel great about Jay Cutler. I have it in mind that even his friends are only lukewarm about their relationship with him. 

However, I love him in Week 5. The same goes with other guys that I would normally stay clear of in other weeks. 

Here is a breakdown of three players that you can feel safe in starting this Sunday. Get past the initial stomach-churning moment and get on board. There won't be a lot of moments like these, so grab that fantasy bull by the horns.

Jay Cutler

 It's bye week, folks, which means that you are going to be looking at guys who have their blemishes. The game Cutler had against the Panthers would qualify as a blemish. 

This week, he faces what should be an all-out shootout.

It will be an ugly game that the Bears open up on the ground, freeing up Cutler to throw. A high-scoring affair is exactly what the doctor ordered to get Cutler owners out of the doldrums. 

Mark Sanchez

 It is looking far more likely that Nick Mangold will play on Sunday. That should be all you need to know to get back on board with Sanchez. 

The second point is that the Patriots are his opponent. This is a powerhouse that choose to play without a secondary. Start Sanchez and giggle about it.

Eli Manning

Peyton's little brother has been on a tear recently. Feel free to ride his good streak a little longer as he sees a mediocre defense on Sunday. 

The Seahawks can't handle new burner on the inside Victor Cruz. I like this start a whole lot.
