Remember, FanDuel’s single-game offering is different than DraftKings’ Showdown contests. There’s no salary multiplier for the “MVP” spot on FanDuel, even though it still gets 1.5x points. So it’s never worth paying too far down in that spot - you want to nail the highest-points scorer in the game.

The demo currently consists of three levels which run back-to-back as gamers play through them. The Mario games have always attracted the speedrunning fan base, and it seems that Super Mario Odyssey is no exception to this rule. Using the new movement options available in Odyssey, players are able to make Mario move incredibly quickly throughout each level, and making effective use of Cappy is essential to shave a few seconds off each run....

The goal of the trending hashtag should be apparent. Critics are asking the NFL to no longer offer Electronic Arts the exclusive use of NFL players in their games, the insinuation being that the quality of Madden games doesn’t live up to what NFL fans want from such a football game. To argue their point, Madden players are sharing gifs recorded from Madden NFL 21’s various bugs and technical issues, as well as similar issues from previous Madden games....

Warner Bros. had requested Depp’s resignation shortly after the actor lost a libel case against The Sun, a British tabloid that had labeled Depp a “wife-beater” in a 2018 article based on alleged domestic violence committed by Depp against then-wife Amber Heard. While a U.K. judge ruled against Depp in his libel case against The Sun’s publisher, News Group Newspapers, in his statement announcing his resignation from Fantastic Beasts 3....

More mock draft analysis: Round 1 | Rounds 2-6 ROUND 7 Yoenis Cespedes, OF (Flowers)Ferguson: Cespedes doesn’t homer enough to outweigh a subpar batting average. He hit fewer line drives and more fly balls last year, and his average suffered as a result. Still, considering the outfielders who went after him, you can’t call this pick a reach. Josh Donaldson, 3B (Leibowitz)DiNitto: Expect a bit of a drop-off from his breakout season in 2013, but he’s still worth a seventh-round selection even when factoring in a reasonable decline from his ....

Let’s take a look at some risers and fallers in ADP using consensus ADP data compiled from Fantrax, RTSports, NFBC and Yahoo from Feb. 19-March 2. We’ll also compare their current ADPs to that of Fantasy Alarm’s Mock Draft Army, which has compiled its ADP over a similar period. The Army is a group of fantasy industry writers and their readers who do live mock drafts as part of their prep for their actual drafts....

We offer up lots of great stats, sleepers and insight; we also offer up a lot of tangents about which song we'd enter to if we were closers and how Matt Lutovsky ruined the Sporting News Experts' League. There's all that and so much more in the latest Sporting News Fantasy Source Baseball podcast (Download link).

We here at Fantasy Source already started our prep. Our 2014 fantasy baseball preview magazine is on newsstands, and it's full of great features, stat projections and player rankings. On the digital side, we've started rolling out site updates, with positional rankings, our overall Top 300, stat projections and more. You can also see a free preview of our Top 25 with their stat projections and estimated auction values. In the meantime, here are some of my quick thoughts as I glanced over Fantasy Source's initial 2014 position rankings: Catcher...

Injuries, inconsistency, and the all-around volatility of the position make it tough to handicap. Just think back to this time last year – would you have ever expected Seung Hwan Oh and not Trevor Rosenthal to be on this list? Moreover, would you have ever expected Oh to be a top-10 closer, maybe even top-five, on many big boards? And that’s just the way it is with relievers. You can try to avoid injury risks, but, really, they’re all injury risks....

Where do you find a sleeper in this group? The easy pick would be Nick Castellanos, the 21-year-old 3B who has an impressive .303/.359/.445 minor league mark — but plenty has been and will be written about Castellanos. Instead, we're picking pitcher Drew Smyly, who's move from the bullpen to the rotation hasn't been met with much fanfare. Smyly worked as a middle reliever last year, posting a 2.37/1.04 line and 81 Ks in 76 innings....

With that in mind, here’s a closer look at our positional rankings, which not only help during your draft, but also early in the year when you’re looking for pickups on the waiver wire. MORE: Ultimate fantasy cheat sheet | Experts draft Note: We’ll be updating our positional rankings right up until the start of Week 1, so check back often!

MORE FANTASY: Join Fantasy Source Football | Join Fantasy Source Baseball Bills acquire WR Mike Williams. Buffalo sent a sixth-round draft pick to the Buccaneers for the troubled receiver, who was recently stabbed in the leg by his brother. The low trade value and the sibling assault both say a lot about Williams’ upside and character. He’ll be nothing but a bench flier with an unproven QB in EJ Manuel while competing for targets with Stevie Johnson (if he stays in Buffalo) and Robert Woods in an offense that should run the ball....

Recently, developer Kenny W combined the technology of Microsoft’s Hololens with the Pokemon animations created by 3D artist Beastcramps to make PokeLens, a game that brings Pokemon hunting and battling to real-life using AR in a way that arguably surpasses what Pokemon GO currently has to offer. Not only does it utilize the franchise’s tried-and-true turn-based RPG battle system, catching creatures is very similar to the “battle, weaken, Pokeball” method that is used in all the official Pokemon games as opposed to the simplistic system used by Pokemon GO....

To determine the best values in today’s rankings, I run projections that include opponent’s strength, betting situation, handedness, park factor, projected Game Score, power/finesse pitching tendencies along with ground-ball/fly-ball tendencies. If you have any last-minute questions, you can find me on Twitter (@RyNoonan). Pitching is a struggle tonight, so it makes sense that there are a ton of offensive options tonight. The difficulty in that is that there’s so much variance in offensive performance, it’s hard to bank on it....

Smith has dominated discussion on Twitter in the aftermath of the Academy Awards, after he unexpectedly took to the stage to slap Rock across the face after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor later took to the podium at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to accept the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard, where he delivered a tearful speech in which he apologized to the Academy along with his fellow nominees....

MORE: Rams could hold out Gurley, others in Week 17 Gurley tweeted a “You’re welcome” to fantasy owners after the Rams’ NFC West-clinching win over the Titans on Sunday. Fantasy owners then gave Gurley a “Thank you” back by donating to Gurley’s charity of choice: Shriners Hospitals for Children. They made those donations after Michael Gehlken, who covers the Raiders for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, called on fantasy owners to express gratitude by giving....

One comparison was more eye-opening than anything else. On Instagram, the @homeoffight account highlighted the fact that Jose Aldo retired from MMA at the same age that Yoel Romero made his UFC debut. That’s certainly an unbelievable revelation considering what ‘Soldier of God’ was able to accomplish in his UFC career and the fact that he is still competing. Fans were quick to react to the shocking news, with some poking fun at Romero’s supernatural physique being the reason he has been able to compete for so long....

10 matches took place at the event, including a tag team match between The Usos and The Revival on the pre-show. Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin kick-started the show, where the Universal Championship was on the line. The two Superstars arguably put on a decent match despite the extremely hot temperature. The match lasted 11 minutes and Rollins pinned Corbin to retain his title. After the match, Corbin attacked Rollins which then lead to Brock Lesnar and his manager Paul Heyman walking to the ring with a referee so that Lesnar could cash in his Money in the Bank contract on a fallen Seth Rollins....
