Well, if you hang around until the end of this week's Sporting News Fantasy Source Baseball podcast (Download link), you'll hear it. You'll also hear a ton of great fantasy nuggets about the second base and shortstop positions. Essentially, it's like hiding worm medicine in dog food. Your dog thinks he's just getting a delicious treat (in this analogy, the theme song to a little-watched sitcom that ended in 1989), but he's actually getting a vital dose of life-saving sustenance (middle-infield fantasy analysis)....

It's one thing to say “F(orget) That Guy” about a player, as we do every week; it's another thing to have an argument over whether a player legitimately owns a grenade. That happens in this week's Fantasy Source Baseball Podcast, and you better believe one of our experts is now looking over his shoulder for Alfredo Simon. (Download or subscribe on iTunes).

MORE: 30 teams, 30 sleepers | Get the Fantasy Alarm Draft Guide Arcia was particularly impressive in an injury-shortened 2014, clubbing 20 homers in 372 at-bats. Playing the extrapolation game often delivers fool’s gold, but it’s fun so we’re going to play it anyway. Stretching out Arcia’s homer pace over a full season of at-bats, let’s say 550, fantasy owners would be looking at close to 30 homers. The thought of almost 30 homers may not make your draw drop, but power production isn’t what it used to be....

This week’s edition, outside of one or two names, will focus mainly on deeper players who may be available on the waiver wire (somewhat similar to last week). Let’s dive in!

Brees, who has missed only one start his 10 full seasons with the Saints, remains in great shape at 36.

The transition to the My Nintendo rewards program affected rewards everywhere, making many of the physical rewards things like sticker sheets, mini calendars, or even napkin sets. However, the rewards program still tends to release some neat goodies from time to time, like the recent Animal Crossing: New Horizons-themed shopping bags, but it can be difficult for many My Nintendo members to get their hands on such collectors items. Luckily, one fan created their own solution....

Despite appearances, Final Fantasy 9: Memoria Project is not actually a remake of the original game–it just looks and sounds like one. Memoria Project is a visual proof of concept designed to show off exactly how good a full remake with AAA graphics could look, as well as draw attention to how much fans of Final Fantasy 9 want to see that remake. It completely lacks any actual gameplay elements, meaning that fans will never be able to play it....

City versus Brighton was all about what could each team could lose – Pep Guardiola’s men having no margin for any error in their improbable bid for a clean sweep of trophies, while the Albion faithful contemplated a heavy thumping at the national stadium. “It could go badly, we could lose 8-0,” one Seagulls fan pondered aloud at Wembley Park station before the match. That same London Underground stop was not a place for cautious contemplation on Sunday, but a carnival of gold, yellow, black and – in the case of Raul Jimenez’s admirers from the midlands – numerous ponchos....

Some of the teams we targeted included the Patriots, Eagles, and Chiefs, but we’re also looking at one team playing against a team that likely will sit starters (Giants vs. Cowboys). Generally speaking, our strategy was to spread our money around and not target too many sleepers. The one position where we spent down significantly was defense, as there were some intriguing streaming options at that position.

On September 27, the Agust D rapper arrived at the Incheon International Airport to fly out to Japan for some yet-to-be-revealed business. Although fans went gaga over him and his looks, another person caught their eye - a staff member travelling with him.

Initially, the staff member was mistaken for the youngest member of BTS, Jung Kook....

The entry into the World Cup final in Russia brought the country of 4 million people to a standstill Sunday after officials and the media described the event as the biggest in Croatia’s sports history. “Croatia has fallen as a hero!’ proclaimed the Index news portal. “Croatia’s team has managed to unite the whole country!” Fans in the capital Zagreb — many wearing the team’s red-and-white checked shirts or wrapped in national flags — crammed into squares and streets and were full of hope and cheers until the last moment....

Pakistan will hope to put a respectable total on the scoreboard after losing their skipper early....

In addition to Barrino, actress Danielle Brooks has been officially cast as Sofia in the upcoming film....

With the exception of Trey Mancini (and maybe Andrew Vaughn), the players listed below will only be considerations in deep leagues.

All of these players are in play if you have a CI spot in your league. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: 2021 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet...
