Fantasy football projections, Week 14: Cowboys-Bears featuring DeMarco Murray, Tony Romo and Matt Forte

The Week 14 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears features two teams with very productive running backs. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

Running back DeMarco Murray was held under 100 yards rushing for just the second time this season when the Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Fortunately for fantasy owners, Murray did manage to score his eight rushing touchdown of the year in the game. In all of the teams 12 contests, he has carried the ball at least 19 times and there's no reason the volume won't be there against a Bears' defense that has gotten blown out a few times this year. Murray should be the highest scoring fantasy player in this matchup on either side of the football.

If for any reason he's not, a likely means that quarterback Tony Romo put together a big bounce back performance instead. Romo threw for 199 passing yards and could not find a receiver in the end zone in last week's loss against Philadelphia, marking the first time either scenario has come to fruition this season. Chicago ranks in the bottom three in terms of fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this season, so Romo should have no problem putting up a lot of fantasy points for his owners, even if his back is not right.

Running back Matt Forte was held to a season-low 5 carries for 6 yards against the Detroit Lions last week, so he should be well rested when the team gets ready to take on the Cowboys in Week 14. The Bears simply decided not to run against a tough Lions' frontline, but in terms of overall value to a team, especially in PPR formats, nobody brings it like Forte. He had a pair of rushing touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just two weeks ago, so expect him to see a lot of touch is against the Cowboys, a team that boasts only a mediocre rush defense. Fantasy owners who use Forte this week will be happy with his stat line.

Forte will need to be productive while teammate Brandon Marshall continues to try to produce consistently despite shaky play at the quarterback position. The veteran wide receiver looked to be getting back to his old self again, catching 15 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns in his first two games following the team's bye week. In the two games since that stretch however, Marshall has 9 catches for just 74 yards total. Dallas's defense is pretty good at limiting wide receivers, so Marshall's output in Week 14 could be on the lower end of the rankings at his position this time around.
