Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was listed as a full participant in the team's first official practice of the week on Thursday. Ferguson suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans and has missed the last two games as a result. However, a full practice on Thursday means that the 25-year-old appears to be well on his way to clearing the NFL's concussion protocol in order to play on Monday Night Football in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals and their atrocious defense. Thursday was Ferguson's first official practice since suffering his concussion. If Ferguson is officially cleared from the concussion protocol later this week, he'll return to the TE1 radar in fantasy against a Cincy defense that has allowed the second-most PPR points to TEs per game in 2024. Ferguson has 43 receptions for 369 yards in nine games this year and is still looking for his first touchdown.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday, according to Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com. Lamb aggravated his previous shoulder injury during their Thanksgiving victory over the New York Giants. However, according to a previous report, Lamb is still expected to suit up on Monday evening. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend in case the star wideout faces a setback. Lamb has seen his production drop without QB Dak Prescott (hamstring), as he has averaged just 12.4 PPR points over the previous four contests. However, Lamb has a great matchup on Monday to get back on track, facing the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) continues to battle a sprained AC joint in his shoulder but said he expects to play on Monday night in Week 14 against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals. Lamb has full range of motion and his strength back and was officially limited in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. "As far as Monday goes, I'll be fine by then," Lamb said. The 25-year-old aggravated his right-shoulder injury on Thanksgiving last Thursday in the win over the division-rival New York Giants and finished with only two grabs for 39 yards on six targets. Fantasy managers should leave him in their Week 14 starting lineups for a juicy matchup against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. The Bengals have allowed the 10th-most half-PPR points to receivers per game this season and the fifth-most points in the last five weeks.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Thursday because his shoulder is still bothering him. Lamb was held out of the team's unofficial walkthrough practice on Wednesday but will upgrade to limited for the first official practice of the week as the Cowboys prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night in Week 14. The 25-year-old aggravated his shoulder injury in the Thanksgiving Day win over the division-rival New York Giants and finished with a disappointing 39 yards on only two receptions. It doesn't seem like Lamb is in much danger of missing Monday night's contest, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his status over the next two days. If Lamb is available in Week 14, he'll be a must-start against one of the worst defenses in the league.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) is making progress from his head injury and took part in the team's unofficial walkthrough practice on Wednesday as they prepare for their Monday night battle against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. The Cowboys won't release their first official injury report for the week until Thursday, but it's a good sign that the 25-year-old is back on the field in any capacity after missing the last two games due to a concussion he suffered in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. He'll need to completely pass through the league's concussion protocol and be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play on Monday night, though, so Ferguson's Week 14 status remains up in the air, which makes life difficult for his fantasy managers. With Ferguson out the last two games, Luke Schoonmaker has stepped up with eight catches for 88 yards and a score on 10 targets.
