Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle was a bright spot on Monday night in the 27-20 loss to Cincinnati. Dowdle carried the ball 18 times for a career-high 131 yards while also catching a pass for 10 yards. Despite running behind a makeshift offensive line, Dowdle shined for the Cowboys. The 26-year-old has now rushed for 731 yards on the year. He projects as a high-end RB2 the rest of the season and is an automatic start in Week 15 against Carolina.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb started off Monday night's game with a bang as he scored a touchdown on fourth down on the first offensive drive. His night quieted from there on, but Lamb recorded six receptions for 93 yards and a score while rushing once for one yard on the night. It was a productive outing for the star receiver, who scored his first touchdown since Week 8 against San Francisco. Lamb will be in WR1 territory again in Week 15 as the Cowboys travel to Carolina.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson returned on Monday night from a two-week absence due to a concussion. Ferguson was second on the team in receptions, targets, and receiving yards but did not have a very productive outing. He caught three passes for 32 yards on six targets in the 27-20 loss against Cincinnati. Ferguson lost some targets to Luke Schoonmaker, who grabbed two receptions for 22 yards, but remains the number two target in the offense behind star CeeDee Lamb. He will remain a dart-throw option going forward as the Cowboys travel to Carolina in Week 15.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks found the end zone in the 27-20 loss to Cincinnati on Monday night. Cooks was targeted three times, but his lone catch came on a three-yard house call. The 31-year-old will remain a deep league flex option but is best left on benches due to inconsistencies in his target share. Cooks and the Cowboys will travel to Carolina in Week 15.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush did not have his finest outing on Monday night in the narrow loss to Cincinnati. Rush completed just over 50% of his passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He finished as the QB15 on the week in what was a very favorable matchup. The 31-year-old will be under center next Sunday as Dallas travels to Carolina to take on a surging Panthers team.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught four of his five targets for 41 yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals' offense is quite crowded right now with strong performances from Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki, and Chase Brown, but we can't ignore a solid string of productivity from Iosivas. He has 10 catches, 122 yards, and one touchdown during that three-game span, ranking 60th among receivers in terms of average fantasy points per game. He should be viewed as a solid WR4 option in deeper leagues ahead of Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed for 58 yards on 14 carries during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. More importantly, he caught six of eight targets for an additional 65 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The 24-year-old has been quite special since taking over as the Bengals' No. 1 running back, ranking as the overall RB7 in half-PPR leagues despite enduring a bye week. Brown's productivity and overall heavy volume make him a mid-range fantasy RB1 option despite next week's matchup against a strong Tennessee Titans run defense.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 33 of his 44 pass attempts for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also took two sacks and lost two rushing yards. All in all, the former No. 1 pick had another very impressive performance, largely thanks to his connection with Ja'Marr Chase. The star receiver caught 14 passes on Monday and accounted for nearly half of his quarterback's passing yards in the primetime victory. Burrow is the overall QB2 in fantasy football since Week 9 despite having a bye during that window.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki caught all three of his targets for 24 receiving yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran now has eight catches over his last two contests, but he's still just the overall TE19 in fantasy football during that span. Over the course of the full season, Gesicki ranks as the overall TE18. It's promising to see him continue to develop his rapport with Joe Burrow, but there's no question that his productivity continues to be overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase's exceptional performances, seemingly every week. Gesicki should be viewed as a fringe top-18 fantasy tight end heading into Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans.

Cleveland Browns QB Jameis Winston will remain as the starter heading into Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs despite the team being eliminated from the playoffs, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Monday, Dec. 9. 'Our focus right now is just trying to find ways to get a win,' Stefanski said.

Fantasy Spin: Winston threw for 497 yards and four touchdowns in Week 13 in Denver, and he has two or more touchdowns in four of his past six games, going over 300 yards three times in the span since taking over for the injured Deshaun Watson. The Chiefs are 20th in the NFL with 221.8 passing yards per game allowed, so there is room for Winston to do some good things for fantasy managers in Week 15.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught two of his five targets for 23 yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It was just the second time this season that Higgins, who appears destined for a split from the Bengals in free agency, had fewer than 12 points (PPR) in a single game. The 25-year-old continues to be overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase, who turned in 14 catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns against Dallas. Higgins is the third playmaking option behind Chase and Chase Brown, and as a result, he'll continue to be ranked in the WR3/FLEX tier for Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught 14 of 18 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns during Monday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. The star wide receiver has been the top-scoring non-quarterback in fantasy football this year, averaging a whopping 24.5 points per game (PPR). He continues to thrive in fantasy football despite playing alongside another receiver with significant upside and production, Tee Higgins. Chase, a former first-round pick, is undoubtedly having a historic season and shows no sign of slowing down ahead of a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks had a 3-yard touchdown on his only touch with three targets in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

From TheHuddle

Dallas Cowboys LB Eric Kendricks rolled up game highs with 12 total stops, including eight of the solo variety, while adding a tackle for loss in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson, DT B.J. Hill and DE Joseph Ossai each had one of the team's three total sacks in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. Hill and Ossai each had three total stops, while each had a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki ended up with three receptions for 24 yards on three targets in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki has managed three or more receptions in five of his past six games, but his yardage totals have been limited to 30 or fewer yards in three of the past four contests. He has TE1 ability in his offense, as is indicated by his 100 yards and two touchdowns against the Raiders in Week 9. However, treat him as a TE2 in most fantasy leagues going forward, as he cannot be trusted lately.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Sunday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that is likely to keep him out for a couple of weeks, according to sources. Injured Reserve isn't considered likely for Dissly right now, which is good, because an IR placement would require him to miss the final four weeks of the regular season. In his first season with the Bolts, he's been productive for LA with 43 receptions, 418 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder on the final play before halftime on Sunday night and was unable to return. He'll at least be out this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and could miss the Thursday night game in Week 16 against the division-rival Denver Broncos as well. Stone Smartt, who had a season-high 54 yards on Sunday night, will take over as the starter and will be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy.

Dallas Cowboys rookie linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Monday night contest against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 and will not return to the game. Overshown's knee was injured in the fourth quarter when Ted Karras fell on his leg, and he had to be helped off the field by Dallas' trainers. It did not look good. For the rest of the game and possibly moving forward, Marist Liufau will see more playing time in the middle of Dallas' defense next to Eric Kendricks. The 24-year-old Overshown, a third-round selection last year out of Texas, has been very impressive in his first NFL season in 2024, racking up 84 tackles (52 solo), five sacks, eight tackles for loss, five QB hits, an interception returned for a touchdown, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 12 games. He's been a top-10 fantasy IDP linebacker in 2024 as one of Dallas' best playmakers on defense.

San Francisco 49ers safety Malik Mustapha (chest) was estimated as a limited participant during Monday's practice. Mustapha recorded five tackles during Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, but he appears to have picked up a chest injury along the way. It's worth noting that Monday's practice is basically a walkthrough, so the next two days will go a long way to determining his status ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Fellow safety Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) returned from the injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game. He figures to cut into Mustapha's playing time going forward.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant during Monday's estimated practice. Greenlaw appears to be on the verge of getting back on the field. He has been sidelined since suffering a torn Achilles during the Super Bowl. The 49ers have been cautious with their stud linebacker, but there is a chance he does return for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. If that happens, Greenlaw would likely be limited with a snap count considering it'd be his first game of the season. His return to the field would give this defensive unit a boost ahead of this tough matchup.
