Along the Offenisve Line: Josh Beekman is no longer starting, John St. Clair and John Tait have left the team, Chris Williams is now starting and Frank Omiyale and Orlando Pace have been added to the starting lineup.

Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Cutler had a lower fantasy avg (16.84 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (23.23 pts/game), and with a less difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could also be a indication of a better fantasy season.
