The filing by the Department of Justice in New York federal court contended that the institution made tens of millions of dollars in revenue businesses on foreign-exchange (FX) transactions between 2010 and 2017. According to the suit, Wells Fargo told these customers that it was charging them certain fixed rates but, in the background, incentivized its salespeople to “overcharge FX customers.” The bank would allegedly conceal these overcharges, reaping the financial benefits of them....

MAIN EVENT: UCLA vs. Texas Big states. Big programs. Big stadium. UCLA and Texas meet in Cowboys Stadium in Week 3, and the winner can add big expectations for the rest of the season. It’s a chance for Brett Hundley to become the early frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, and a chance for first-year Texas coach Charlie Strong to make his first emphatic national statement.

Because there are so many types and sizes of fantasy baseball leagues, it can be tough to put together a free agent list that can really help the majority of fantasy owners. We tried to cover a variety of players. Some won’t be available if you’re in a deep league; others will be largely irrelevent if you’re in a shallow league. We trust you can discern the difference.

MORE WEEK 4 RANKINGS: QB | WR | TE | DEF | K FIVE STAR 1. DeMarco Murray, Cowboys vs. Saints. He’s still healthy, and he has a chance to put up big numbers in what should be a shootout with the Saints.2. Le’Veon Bell, Steelers vs. Buccaneers. Is it just us, or is Bell playing like a guy who should’ve been considered for one of the top three picks?...

There’s some snow in the forecast this week, but ultimately the weather likely won’t cause too much havoc, but all the injuries to QB/WRs, running backs, and tight ends will have much impacts (updates in links).

This week’s best streaming options come from a game that features a couple of NFC South teams. The Bucs and the Falcons both have bad defenses that have been easy to beat in coverage. That will give Austin Hooper (Falcons) and Cameron Brate (Bucs) a chance to get open frequently and potentially function as red-zone threats. They also have high enough ceilings in the PPR format and can be trusted as low-end TE1s....

Sporting News will have bowl projections every week until we get there, and our preseason College Football Playoff picks have already seen a few changes. Alabama, Penn State, Clemson and Oklahoma remain the playoff field heading into Week 7, but there’s a new face. Washington takes Oklahoma’s place for the final spot. We have the Crimson Tide and Huskies n the Sugar Bowl, and the Nittany Lions and Tigers in the Rose Bowl Game....

Per usual out bust picks are just recommendations on who to sit based on bad matchups, lacking opportunities, and potential injury issues. If you don’t have a comparable replacement for one of these potential busts, you can still start them. Even if you’re just going with your guy, you can do that too. Just know that these players might have a low ceiling or low floor this week because of the previously acknowledged factors....

It’s also worth noting that any of our selections could bust this week. We’re taking some chances here, as we don’t want to say anyone too obvious. A list of easy choices wouldn’t do anyone any good. You aren’t going to start the guys below over consistent, proven producers, but you’re probably not searching for fantasy sleepers if your lineup is set. However, even if that’s the case, our sleepers list can help you find value in DFS, as the prices of these players should be affordable....

We’re mainly talking about Russell Wilson (vs. 49ers) and Lamar Jackson (vs. Steelers), who have proven they can put up monster stats against anyone. We’re not as excited about fringe-starters Matt Ryan (@ Panthers), Matthew Stafford (vs. Colts), Ben Roethlisberger (@ Ravens), and Drew Brees (@ Bears), though. We know all are good enough to put up worthwhile numbers even in those tough matchups, but with similar QBs facing much softer competition, there’s no need to force these veterans into your lineups....

If you avoided the “Bryce Harper Local” train, which I also suggested, then you weren’t stuck with his 4-for-24 showing. Harper had a tough road ahead of him last week, which made his premium salary tough to roster. The saving grace was two of his four hits went yard. At least there was a silver lining to his cloudy Week 8. MORE Fantasy Alarm DFS Playbook Pro | Play FanDuel!...

The cases where a fantasy owner would want to start an RB or a WR over a QB in a superflex spot are few and far between. Perhaps if you landed James Robinson or Chase Claypool late in a fantasy draft or grabbed a temporary starting RB or breakout WR on waivers, you might consider a non-quarterback, but even still, quarterbacks will always have a higher floor because they have the ball in their hands every play....

At the moment, we’re running under the assumption that McCaffrey will return after he almost played last Thursday night. Jones and Carson are a bit trickier to project, especially given how cautious the Packers have been about injuries this year and how Pete Carroll tends to be optimistic about every Seahawks injury. For now, both will be included in the rankings, but keep an eye on them, especially Jones ahead of a Thursday night game....

Additionally, we’ve attacked a number of favorable passing matchups with strong QB/WR pairings. There should be a good spread of stack ownership this week thanks to so many friendly matchups for good players. That means if you have one or two stacks you really like, it’s worth going all-in, but if you don’t especially love any, there are enough worthwhile options to spread the wealth around.

Quick hitters – Utah State star QB Chuckie Keeton remains questionable for Friday’s game at BYU. Keeton, who tore his ACL in a home loss to the Cougars last year, suffered another knee injury in a 36-24 home win over Wake Forest on Sept. 13. He was in street clothes for a 21-14 overtime loss at Arkansas State in Week 4. Keeton came into the 2014 season with 7,114 career yards (rushing and passing), an incredible 56/13 touchdown-to-interception ratio and 14 rushing TDs....

Video Game News Valve Wants You… If You’re Good with Linux There’s a mountainside bunker somewhere deep in the heart of Appalachia - guarded by attack dogs and balding ex-bodyguards of deposed dictators - where Gabe Newell stashes the billions he’s made off of his company, Valve, and its offspring, Steam.

The company is currently offering appointments at select pharmacy locations in New York State, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia. The company expects to “receive a limited supply of the vaccine on a regular basis” to vaccinate those currently eligible. Wegmans advises: “The amount of vaccine we receive starts with the federal government, who first allocates a certain number of vaccinations to each state. From there, the state determines how much goes to each region and provider....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Belgium’s Tom Goegebuer became the oldest competitor in Olympic weightlifting history when he finished 14th in the men’s 56kg at the Rio Games and is now looking forward to retirement and, most of all, a cold beer. Goegebuer, who was 41 in March, had only nine days’ notice to prepare for his third Olympics. Having competed in his career against some rivals who were taking drugs, it was a ban on dopers from Russia, Kazakhstan and elsewhere that freed up places for his swansong in Rio....

For how impressive Elden Ring is on both a visual and technical scale, the game isn’t without bugs that players could potentially run into. While the most recent patch for Elden Ring, update 1.04, fixes a number of glitches in the game, there are still likely several more bugs that managed to slip through the cracks. For example, one of the more recent glitches is rather humorous in nature....
