Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey shook off a poor Week 12 performance by drilling two-of-two field goal attempts and all three extra points in Week 13 against the New York Giants. This week, he faces one of the most generous matchups in the league as the Cowboys gear up to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. The 29-year-old has been one of the best kickers in the league this year and even with a less efficient Dallas offense without quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring), he should be started this week.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) is off the injury report after fully practicing all week. Ferguson was knocked out early in Week 11 and has not played over the past two weeks. The 25-year-old is a dart-throw option at tight end in Week 14 given that it is his first game back. He has not scored a touchdown all season long but largely has operated as the number two option in the passing game behind CeeDee Lamb. Taking on a soft Cincinnati secondary on Monday night in a game with the highest implied point total for the week, he is a startable option.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is on the flex radar in deep leagues this week. Cooks does not have an injury designation, as he practiced fully on Friday and Saturday. He garnered seven targets in his first game back after an eight-week absence due to a knee injury. The veteran projects as the third option in the passing game with CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and Jake Ferguson (concussion) also good to go for Monday. His volume is far from consistent, but the matchup against Cincinnati's soft secondary is too strong to ignore. With six teams on bye this week, Cooks is a viable flex option.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has no injury designation going into Monday night's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb did not practice on Thursday, but was upgraded to limited on Friday and Saturday and cleared having any designation for the game. Lamb reenters WR1 territory in one of the best matchups possible as he gears up to face an atrocious Cincinnati secondary. Do not hesitate to start the star receiver this week.

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle finished last week in RB1 range, and a similar outcome is possible on Monday night as Dallas takes on the Cincinnati Bengals. Dowdle has completely taken over the backfield and even with key offensive linemen out, has managed to produce. While Cincinnati's run defense is not quite as weak as their pass defense, it is still a favorable matchup in a game where many points are anticipated to be scored. Fresh off of his first career 100-yard rushing performance, Dowdle should be in lineups this week.
