Fantasy Player Projections

Tony Romo

Romo has thrown for 300 or more yards in four of his last five games … not that anyone has noticed. He's added 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Stop knocking Dallas' quarterback and start trusting him in the fantasy playoffs.

DeMarco Murray

By the end of last week's win over Philadelphia, Murray had touched the ball 27 times and told reporters he felt good. A Cincinnati defense allowing 4.4 yards per carry will serve as his next victim.

Felix Jones

Anyone who watched DeMarco Murray run the ball last week knows Jones' role with the team is now obsolete. Murray is better in every aspect of the game.

Dez Bryant

Bryant is all grown up. He blew by the Eagles' coverage last week, and later muscled his way into the end zone for his second touchdown. Few receivers have a skill set that compares with Bryant's.

Miles Austin

Austin looked fresh when thrown to last week and could see an increase in production over the final month of the season with teams paying more attention to Dez Bryant.

Jason Witten

Witten caught two passes last week that took the Cowboys inside the Eagles' five-yard line. Of course, Witten never gets the score -- he has just one touchdown this season -- but he gets the lion's share of the catches. With four weeks to go he is still on pace to set a single-season record for catches by a tight end.

Dan Bailey

Bailey averaged 5.25 points in the season's first four games; he has since averaged 9.3 points and has been one of the league's steadiest fantasy kickers.

This contest has the ingredients of a shootout between two high-powered passing games. Cincinnati will make its share of mistakes -- the Bengals have 20 turnovers this season -- but will put points on the board, too.

Andy Dalton

Dalton came out blazing in September and October but has cooled off since, averaging 209 yards over his last six starts. Dallas ranks 10th in passing yards allowed (220.1).

BenJarvus Green-Ellis

We're not ready to believe in Green-Ellis. His success last week was the product of one long run; the week before he beat up on one of the league's worst run defenses (Oakland). Dallas' front seven will set Green-Ellis straight.

A.J. Green

The Cowboys have a pair of talented cornerbacks, but neither will be able to keep pace with Green, who leads all wide receivers with 10 touchdown catches.

Andrew Hawkins

In his first week back from a knee injury, Hawkins caught five of the eight balls thrown to him. Fantasy owners can expect him to return to his role as the No. 3 target in the passing game behind A.J. Green and Jermaine Gresham.

Jermaine Gresham

As expected, Brent Celek took advantage of injuries to the middle of Dallas' defense last week and finished with solid numbers (seven catches, 73 yards). Expect Gresham to follow the same formula.

Mike Nugent

Nugent is scoring 8.3 points in games played at Paul Brown Stadium this season, and all three of his games with 10 or more points have come at home.

A few weeks ago this task would have been much easier on Cincinnati, but now that Dallas has a balanced attack (read: now that DeMarco Murray is back) the Cowboys present a much greater challenge to opposing defenses.
