Dallas Cowboys DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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 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 tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Friday. Ferguson suffered a concussion early in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans and hasn't played since. However, the 25-year-old has returned to practice for the first time this week as a full participant and now just needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. There's a chance Ferguson could be somewhat limited in how much he plays if he returns in Week 14, but if he's active, he should at least be considered a low-end TE1 in fantasy. In nine games this year as Dallas' primary pass-catching tight end, he's averaging 6.5 half-PPR points, which is tied for 23rd at the position with Dalton Kincaid. Luke Schoonmaker had eight catches for 88 yards and a TD the last two games with Ferguson sidelined.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) was a limited participant during Friday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Lamb aggravated a shoulder injury during their Thanksgiving victory over the New York Giants but expressed that he expects to be ready for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during Saturday's final practice in case he carries an injury designation. Lamb averaged a solid 17.7 PPR points per game during Weeks 11 and 12 but took a step back on Thanksgiving when he got hurt, scoring only 5.9 PPR points. However, fantasy managers should view Lamb as a low-end WR1 facing the Bengals, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.
