NFL byes Week 14: Cardinals and Cowboys

Two teams are on bye in Week 14 of the 2026 NFL season: the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys. That takes 14 ranked fantasy players off the field, led by Trey McBride (TE1), CeeDee Lamb (WR4) and Dak Prescott (QB3). Below is every player you lose, by position, and the best ranked replacements outside the usual starter range who do play that week.

  • QB is hit hardest: Dak Prescott (QB3) is off, 1 of the top 12 at the position.
  • The Cowboys take the most fantasy players with them: 8.
  • Two team defenses are off too, so a defense and a kicker may need streaming.
