One of the most difficult achievements for an NFL player in the fantasy football world is to be considered an every-week starter. Fantasy football owners are notoriously particular when it comes to granting that status and this mindset can often lead to players being kept out of the weekly lineup list well past the time when they have earned this standing.
This week's Fantasy Foresight article will work to assist in this area by noting four players who are not considered every-week starters but who should be. (Note: The bar for consideration on this list was players whose start percentage was 60 percent or lower in Week 2.) These players range from longtime impact wide receivers to a quarterback who could be leading his offense to consecutive record-setting seasons.
Also included below are three players whose superb Week 2 performances will continue this season, three players who likely will not replicate their Week 2 success or struggles and three waiver-wire suggestions heading into Week 3.
Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears
Last season, Chicago coach Marc Trestman put together a highly effective game plan to help curb Cutler's longstanding penchant for taking too many risks with the football. Combine that with a set of pass-catchers that is arguably the best in the NFL and it should have led to Cutler being considered a QB1 heading into this season.
