CIN - Cincinnati turns back to QB Andy Dalton

Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton was named the starting quarterback for Week 13 against the New York Jets.

The Bengals turned to rookie Ryan Finley for three games and he did not perform well. The team gets a boost with Dalton back under center. Adjust all fantasy projections for guys like Tyler Boyd and Joe Mixon accordingly. We'll see if A.J. Green comes back at some point this season too.

Wentz is considered day-to-day with this hand injury. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson noted after the game that Wentz would likely undergo further testing to confirm the diagnosis. We expect Wentz to play -- and play well -- against the Dolphins in Week 13.

That would be the best move for the Steelers. Mason Rudolph has struggled as the starter and that's why he was benched against the Bengals. Over the last two games, Rudolph has tossed five interceptions. Hodges should be the starter as the Steelers host the Browns in Week 13.

Ebron had a breakout season in 2018 but he disappointed in 2019, finishing with 31 catches for 375 yards and three touchdowns.

Miami Dolphins RB Kalen Ballage will remain the starting running back in Week 13 versus the Philadelphia Eagles, according to head coach Brian Flores.

Ballage is not doing much as the starter. Nobody in the backfield really is (sorry Patrick Laird truthers), so counting on a Dolphins running back is a risky move for Fantasy GMs. The Dolphins fall behind every week and usually abandon the rushing attack by halftime. Ballage, as the team's starter, is only worth a deep flex play.

Seattle Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny has apparently worked his way back into the good graces of head coach Pete Carroll, who told reporters Monday, Nov. 25, there is 'no reason not to get (Penny) back in there' after he ran for 129 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles.'Chris (Carson) is a guy who is a big part of our team and we'll do everything we can (for him). ... Competition is a beautiful thing and no reason not to get (Penny) back in there next week. We'll get those guys hammering away,' Carroll said.

There's no need for the Broncos to continue forward with Brandon Allen. Lock has had two weeks of practice already and this week will make his third.
