It's amazing that the Bears have gone from undefeated to so badly defeated that fantasy owners are concerned. The thing is, Chicago's start to the season was a bit misleading not only in terms of real-life record, but for how it pertained to fantasy owners. I do like Cutler, but I admit the way he played Sunday night could become a long-term problem. Cutler held on to the ball too long in many cases, probably because his raw receiving corps was rarely open. Should we expect that to change? Johnny Knox is generally regarded as the Bears' top wide receiver in fantasy, but he still has yet to reach double digits in scoring this season. Devin Hester is erratic. Devin Aromashodu doesn't even dress for games.
To see whose fantasy value is rising and whose is falling heading into Week 5, you must be an ESPN Insider.
