What makes starting pitcher so difficult to handicap is the unreliability of wins, and, to a slightly lesser extent, ERA. Oh, and the injuries. Sure, there are similar issues with hitters, but pitchers seem to fluctuate more wildly – and their injuries seem to be more devastating. 2020 Fantasy Baseball Rankings:Catcher | First | Second | Third | Short | Outfield | Starter | Reliever | Top 300 So, as we always caution, take our rankings with a grain of salt....

Remember that everyone else is dealing with the same issues and there’s always extra transfers if you need them. Now, in the interim, let’s look at the Goal Fantasy Team of the Week. GK: Adrian - West Ham - 1 Game, 2 Saves, 1 Clean Sheet = 8 Points DF: Zanka - Huddersfield - 1 Game, 1 Assist, 1 Clean Sheet = 10 Points Zanka, formally known as Mathias Jorgensen, was a Fantasy monster at the start of the season and it’s great to see him playing well again....

Smith went down with what appeared to be a left knee/leg injury late in the first quarter and is done for the day. Even though Smith was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his power, it was a non-contact injury and could be serious enough to keep him out of Week 17 and beyond. There shouldn't have been many owners relying on Smith for a championship anyway....

Half-Life 2’s episodes were a novel concept at the time, where they were episodic game sequels to the original. They were planned to be a trilogy of episodes, but Valve only managed to finish the second episode, which ended up giving fans one of the most infamous unresolved cliff-hangers in video games. Since then, many other Half-Life related projects were canceled, with the only other official release being the VR game Half-Life: Alyx, set in-between Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2....

“They’re finally coming to their senses,’’ lawyer and football fan Robin Ficker told Sporting News from his Maryland office. “They’re coming to them 43 years too late, though.’’ MORE: NFL’s craziest fans | Super Bowl XLIX draws record ratings When the NFL went from blacking out all games in their teams’ home markets to instituting the 72-hour sellout rule in 1974, it was because Ficker had been enraged at the prospect of not seeing his hometown Washington team’s home playoff game against the Packers back in December 1972....

“You and three guests will eat like the players do,” states BiddingForGood.com . “Guests will join Pro Bowl center Alex Mack and members of the Browns offensive line, including Mitchell Schwartz, Joel Bitonio and John Greco, for a buffet at the Browns Berea Training Facility.” All the proceeds go to the Browns Foundation. The site says the players going to the dinner are subject to change based on individual schedules but more than likely it will be a combination of the offensive line, so don’t look for Johnny Manziel to drop by....

The PS3 and Vita storefronts were originally announced to be shut down last year, which many fans rebelled against. Sony then walked that announcement back, allowing for the stores’ services to continue functioning. While many fans praised the move, others were concerned about the company’s lack of care regarding video game preservation, as a number of the titles on both storefronts haven’t been made available on modern systems. This ire seems to be coming back, as several users are reporting that their PS Classic games on the legacy consoles are currently unplayable....

Pictures resurfaced on social media of Pugh seemingly on the set of the British-based comedy, though her scenes were never used in the Apple TV+ show.

Social media has been rife with rumors that the two fell out, which was recently exacerbated when a video surfaced of Wilde asking Shia LaBeouf to come back to work on the movie, mentioning Pugh....

Fans were hit with thoroughly disheartening news when the game was banned in the country along with several other apps earlier this year.

After months without any hope of a return, the powers that be at Krafton Inc and PUBG Corporation made some sweeping changes, resulting in a positive development for fans....

In case you didn’t know… Many of the fans are under the assumption that Test cricket is on the wane and T20 cricket is what everyone wants to see. None of them were wrong in assuming that because of the popularity of the T20 leagues like Big Bash League, Indian Premier League, T20 Blast, and Carribean Premier League. However, the MCC says otherwise. The heart of the matter Who said Test cricket is dying?...

The game has gone from strength to strength since being released on Android as well as iOS platforms. It has emerged as one of the biggest names in the battle royale genre, which is saying a lot as it faces stiff competition from industry juggernauts such as PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile. In terms of global popularity, few mobile games stand out as prominently as Free Fire, with its high-profile collaborations with popular personalities such as Hrithik Roshan in the past....

MORE SEASON-LONG HELP: SN Fantasy | Fantasy Alarm’s Assistant GM Tool There’s been modest shuffling near the top of the catcher rankings, but the biggest changes are some potential fantasy difference-makers coming back from the DL. The Brewers’ Jonathan Lucroy (toe), the Orioles’ Matt Wieters (elbow), the Reds’ Devin Mesoraco (hip) and the Indians’ Yan Gomes (knee) are all healthy now, and should finish as top-12 catchers the rest of the way if they can stay on the field....

Whether it's a young pitcher sharpening a secondary pitch, a young fielder learning another position, or a fantasy baseball writer going on "The Tonight Show" because he and his wife had a funny-sounding wedding announcement, a lot can happen in the offseason that affects fantasy drafts.

This season might be frustrating for fantasy owners who draft closers early, as at least one of the top-end guys seems primed for a fall from grace. But the draft could also reward those who wait for the right emerging pitcher in the middle rounds. Young fireballers, such as Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hicks, may on paper have more potential down the line. They have not yet proven they can translate their raw ability to consistent MLB production, though, for now dropping them several tiers on our initial board....
