In my opinion, Ben has been with his wide receivers' longer than Jay, and Ben has 2 proven go-to receivers in Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes.
Jay is still getting to know his wide receivers, and so far Chicago has no clearly defined standout receiver. Tight end Greg Olsen is all they can count on for the moment, and that aint much. So I would go with Ben over Jay.
I would go with Cutler. Remember the numbers he put up in Denver were his first 3 years as a pro. Marshall was drafted the same year, and Royal was a rookie last year. I believe Cutler is one of those talents who can make his receivers better than they have been. Remember, he and Earl Bennett played together for a year at Vanderbilt, so there's already a rapport there. And both Hester and Bennett are in their third year as NFL WRs(Hester didn't play WR his rookie year). Also, he never had a RB who could catch the ball out of the backfield like Forte can. And Olsen is a much better pass catcher then Tony Scheffler. All in all, Cutler is a #1 fantasy QB and Big Ben is a #2.

This week (week 1), should I come out of the gates with Cutler or wait it out and go with Big Ben ?
