The Cincinnati Bengals have featured one of the highest-scoring offenses in the 2024 fantasy football season. They have elite options at their skill positions and that starts with Ja'Marr Chase, who ranks as the overall WR1 this year. He has finished among the top 10 weekly wide receivers five times in his past seven games, and despite the Dallas Cowboys defense playing much better in recent weeks, he is one of the best overall players to target in Week 14 fantasy football.

He is joined by his teammate Chase Brown, who is having a breakout fantasy football season since taking over as their featured running back. He has finished among the top 10 weekly RBs in each of his past four games and is an excellent lineup option this week against a beatable Cowboys rushing defense.

The other starting RB for this game, Rico Dowdle, is quietly on a strong run in recent weeks. He has finished among the top 20 weekly RBs in four of his past seven games and gets a favorable Week 14 matchup against a dismal Bengals defense. This gives him plenty of streaming value and makes him a high-upside DFS pick with a relatively cheap price tag.

Must Starts

• Joe Burrow
• Chase Brown
• Rico Dowdle

Who Should I Start (Sportskeeda)

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool has identified all of the depth RBs from this matchup as clear fades. Brown and Dowdle have dominated the backfield workloads in recent weeks, leaving few touches for the other backs on the Cowboys and Benagls rosters.

This includes avoiding Ezekiel Elliot and Khalil Herbert. The Cowboys' other WRs behind CeeDee Lamb should all be faded this week as none of them have been able to provide consistent fantasy value.

Must Sits

• Cooper Rush
• Ezekiel Elliot
• Khalil Herbert
• Brandin Cooks
• Jalen Tolbert

DFS Fades

• Jalen Tolbert
• Jake Ferguson
• Mike Gesicki
