As obvious as it sounds, the running backs that suffer the most are – go figure – the ones who don’t catch passes and aren’t really used heavily in the passing game. These type of running backs include big bruisers, goal-line carriers, and those who already have designated receiving backs on their teams. For WRs, it’s the boom-or-bust types like Ted Ginn Jr. who spread out a defense but only catch a couple or so passes a game....
There's (kind of) a pair of the same picks at each "stud," "sleeper" and "stumbler" spot, with Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore leading the way as "studs." It's not really going out on a limb to tab Peterson as a stud, but Gore might raise a few eyebrows. History only goes so far when evaluating matchups, but Gore has absolutely owned the Rams in his career, rushing for 1,149 yards and 14 touchdowns....

Such was not the case when a Patriots fan came face-to-face with the defensive tackle in the Bahamas. He knew whose jersey he had on, but didn’t realize he was standing right in front of the man himself.

Our primary strategy involves attacking the worst defense left in the playoffs – Houston. By stacking Chiefs against them, we’re getting high-floor, high-ceiling players, and we’re actually able to get one of them at a discount. We’re also going with a correlating Houston player to complete our game stack, and then filling in our lineup with a high-target WR1, big-play WR2, and boom-or-bust WR3. We’re also going with a two-TE lineup construction that will hopefully further differentiate our picks....

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, crowds had not been allowed at professional matches across Britain since football returned in June until Cambridge United were able to facilitate spectators last week. With fans returning to games in France and certain regions of Germany, the EFL has now confirmed an extension of its scheme, with 10 fixtures initially selected for the coming weekend, although Luton Town have opted out. Following government guidance, crowds will be capped at a 1,000 capacity with social distancing measures in place....
Fantasian’s main gimmick is that its game world is meant to look like a diorama, which gives Fantasian a unique art style and lends itself well to some rather breathtaking views. Honestly, it’s almost a shame that the game is restricted to Apple Arcade and will mostly be played on devices like iPhones and iPads because the smaller screens don’t do the game’s gorgeous art justice. Hopefully, Fantasian eventually makes its way to other platforms....
In a statement, Warner Bros. says, “A team member from Fantastic Beasts 3 has tested positive for COVID-19.

News of the new Fantastic Four movie has been known for quite a while now and there was a time when people thought that John Krasinski could be the new face of that particular franchise.

It’s not that you can’t field a team of sleepers and win your league – there’s at least one breakout at every position every year – but why would you want to? The idea behind identifying a few key sleepers is you can take less risk in the early rounds when more “sure things” are available. Of course, injuries can strike any player at any time, but that’s not an excuse to go overboard on your favorite boom-or-bust players....

Super Bernie World is a retro, NES-style platformer inspired by Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. franchise. Developed by Emma Maassen and her team, Super Bernie World is hoping to encourage people to vote for Bernie, and its main menu even includes a link to donate to the Bernie Sanders campaign. The gameplay is typical Super Mario Bros. fare, but with a Bernie Sanders twist. For example, instead of collecting mushrooms like Mario does, Bernie instead eats Vermont cheese to get more power....
