Wk 1 QB - Cutler or Palmer

Cutler's at Green Bay and Palmer's home vs Denver. Thanks in advance.

I have the same two QB's. I am leaning toward Palmer based on the match up and playing at home. Denver D is not as good as Green Bay's.

I agree with Reggae. KFFL has them ranked pretty much a pickem and I'd go with Palmer at home versus a weak Denver team, than Cutler on the road versus GB. GB looks like the real deal.

Those are MY 2 QB's also . . . I'm torn since I'm a Bears fan, and think I've liked what I see out of Cutler. That said, GB's defense is pretty good.
I'm about 80% certain I'm going Cutler until he proves me wrong.

Palmer

Barring injury, Palmer should have the better day for fantasy numbers. A Cincy/Denver matchup will likely be a shootout. Cincy vs anyone is usually a shootout. Cutler and the Bears will be more conservative not to mention more effective on the ground trying to manage the clock. I think Cutler will have a good game, just not as good as Palmer in terms of fantasy points.

I've got the same dilemma and am leaning towards Cutler. I always like starting players playing on a big stage, like the first Sunday night football game of the season. They seem to play better and the games are usually a little higher scoring. I also think this game will turn into a shoot-out. I think Rodgers and Co. light up the Denver secondary early and Cutler is forced to do the same. I drafted Cutler ahead of Palmer for a reason and I'd like to see how well the Bengals offense does before I give Palmer the start.

I agree. Palmer missed some time and might struggle behind that shaky O-line. I think Cutler will have to throw more than Palmer will.
