Whatever the reason – deserved or undeserved – there are always guys fantasy owners are nervous about. A good way to split the difference if you’re leaving a questionable player out of your season-long lineup is to put him in a daily fantasy football lineup. That way, even if he blows up and you’re kicking yourself, at least you might get some money out of it. Here are some of our least favorite plays for Week 11....
MORE WEEK 11 RANKINGS: QB | RB | TE | DEF | K FIVE STAR 1. Jordy Nelson, Packers vs. Eagles. The way Rodgers and the Packers have been rolling, there isn’t a better choice. 2. Antonio Brown, Steelers @ Titans. Hopefully Brown learned his lesson and will avoid taking selfies with Justin Bieber. 3. Demaryius Thomas, Broncos @ Rams 4. Calvin Johnson, Lions @ Cardinals. A matchup against Patrick Peterson warrants some pause, but not enough to remove him from the top 5....
Even “must-starts” can disappoint (psst, Dameon Pierce), but you won’t find those types of guys among our bust picks unless we legitimately advise benching them. We aim to highlight players on the start ’em, sit ’em bubble – not stars who will be started no matter what, and not players owned in just a handful of leagues. You might not have enough depth to bench the players on this list; moreover, you might just completely disagree with our choices....

There are always a couple of games that worry us on both sides each week, and the one that stands out this week is 49ers @ Saints. It’s a tough rushing matchup for San Francisco against a strong New Orleans front. Add to that the complicated committee and possible return of Matt Breida (ankle), and high-ranking waiver wire pickup Mostert might be in for a tough one. On the other side of that game, we’re extra worried about the Saints’ passing game outside of Michael Thomas....
Olsen’s loss also doesn’t do a lot to create a logical replacement for him. Fourth-round rookie Ian Thomas will take over as the top target at TE in Carolina, but the fact of the matter is that he is unproven. He looked good against the Buccaneers in limited action, but it’s hard to recommend him as a plug-and-play option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs. It’s just too risky....
With only a few weeks left, it’s time to go for it all! So, while these value articles are often about finding the players we believe will pay of their price tag, we’re making a slight shift as we try to win a tournament, looking for value plays with opportunities to not just meet their value but smash their ceilings, elevating you to the top of the leader board....
It’s winning time, and that means there’s no messing around – no being lazy and not changing your kicker just because you don’t want to take the time to do it. Just like I advised last week, two of the biggest factors when choosing a kicker this time of year is whether misses count against you and what the weather forecast looks like. We’ll make adjustments as the week goes on due to the latter....

Hazard, long linked with a move to Real Madrid, only has one year left on his contract and has hinted at wanting to join the LaLiga giants. Speaking after Chelsea’s last Premier League game of the season, Hazard confirmed he has decided his future and informed the club of his intentions “a couple of weeks ago”. Maurizio Sarri has indicated even winning the Europa League final against Arsenal later this month may not be enough to persuade Hazard to stay....
But it’s not only marginalized people of color with mental illness who are targeted by police. A dangerous policing mentality toward the mentally ill also routinely sabotages hospital treatment, even of the more privileged. It’s why as a board-certified psychiatrist, I have come to believe that depolicing healthcare is essential for protecting all of us. Because the truth of the matter is, when it comes to psychiatry, patients sometimes become agitated or distressed, an event we call a “behavioral emergency” in health care....
New Delhi, Oct 11 (PTI) India U-17 football team goalkeeper Moirangthem Dheeraj Singh’s parents were dead against their son playing football, forcing the once school topper to bank on his maternal grandmother to buy him kits. Dheeraj’s father Romit said his son was a bright student and he did not want him to play football as the game was not considered a career option. “Dheeraj was a bright student and he was a class topper in his school....
With League of Legends patch 10.23, Riot has sought to change how items and champion itemizations are done in the game. With the new Mythic System especially, there have been many meta shifts in the MOBA, which has bound to have affected the professional scene of the game as a game. Speaking of the professional scene, the League of Legends Korean league (LCK) is all set to start its 2021 Spring Split from January 13, 2021....
MAIN EVENT: Stanford at Oregon Stanford and Oregon enjoyed fantastic runs in the BCS era. The schools combined for nine BCS bowl appearances and eight Pac-12 championships (including the last five). Of course, a national championship is missing. Maybe that’s because they are getting in each other’s way. Consider the Ducks are 40-5 in Pac-12 play the last five seasons — and three of those losses are to the Cardinal. Oregon lost the last two meetings, and the pressure is on Marcus Mariota here....
It began with a prime-time officiating fiasco by its most experienced crew. The poor performance by referee Walt Anderson’s crew Thursday night sullied an otherwise classic Saints-Cowboys showdown that reminded everyone defense can be sexy, too. Jaylon Smith’s helmet-to-helmet hit on Alvin Kamara was the most egregious non-call, one that Fox Sports rules analyst Mike Pereira called “a clear example of leading with the crown of the helmet.” Just feet away from the illegal hit were field judge Terry Brown and line judge Byron Boston, both of whom kept their yellow flags tucked safely away as New Orleans coach Sean Payton went ballistic....
Chris Carson (vs. Giants), Raheem Mostert (vs. Bills), and Austin Ekeler (vs. Patriots) returned in Week 12 and will solidify the borderline-RB1 range. Myles Gaskin (vs. Bengals), D’Andre Swift (@ Bears), David Johnson (vs. Colts) look set to return this week, and all should be in fantasy lineups, as well. (Update: Swift will reportedly be significantly limited if he’s active.) WEEK 13 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...
Once again, we’re banking on a Bucs stack, but we also have a pair of Lions and Cowboys that we think can take advantage of favorable matchups. Some of other players are riding hot streaks; some haven’t produced much in a couple weeks. A mix is important, as neither hot nor cold streaks last forever.
