The parasitic brain infection known as cordyceps, fungi that exist in real life and are known to only affect insects, exists within the game and wipes out humanity, leaving the characters of The Last of Us in a post apocalyptic world. One of the main characters comes across an infected entity known as the Rat King in The Last of Us Part 2, which suggests an even more sinister and evolving nature to the cordyceps infection than originally thought....

Many of these aren’t often included when fans discuss weird Pokemon — perhaps they’ve been around so long that players simply don’t think about them anymore. But in Red and Blue, Kanto featured plenty of bizarre creatures that players could get their hands on. Here are a few of Gen I’s weirder ideas. Updated July 1, 2022, by Demaris Oxman: With a new generation of Pokemon games set to release likely before the end of the year, plenty of fans are speculating on what new pocket monsters will be added to the canon....

Wells, 23, went close when his fifth-minute header hit a post. But he made no mistake in the 33rd minute, rifling home a left-foot finish after goalkeeper Frankie Fielding was caught out of position Saturday, reports CMC. Wells’ strike cancelled out Scott Wagstaff’s 13th-minute opener from Jay Emmanuel-Thomas’s pass. Emmanuel-Thomas put Bristol City back in front with a strong finish on 58 minutes after the Bradford defence sat back....

Not for Wendell, of course, but for his folks. MORE: Kentucky lands Stanford transfer Reid Travis This seems to be what the Carter family would have in mind. After all, if Mike Krzyzewski hasn’t earned the right to populate his Duke teams without parental interference with 1,100 victories and five NCAA championships on his resume, then clearly Bulls execs Gar Forman and John Paxson can’t operate independently after missing the playoffs in two of the past three seasons....

Both Henry and Vieira enjoyed success at Arsenal under Wenger and are now coach in Ligue 1, at Monaco and Nice respectively. The pair will face off against each other at Stade Louis II on December 7, with Monaco currently 19th in the league and Nice sitting seventh. Wenger believes both Henry and Vieira, who previously managed New York City, have gained the experience to become accomplished coaches at the top of the game....

A few guys have begun to ascend up the PPR rankings thanks to their receiving prowess – namely, Austin Ekeler (vs. Texans), Chris Carson (vs. Saints), and, surprisingly, Leonard Fournette (vs. Titans). Carson might be about to tumble back down because of fumbling issues and Fournette is still a blah play because he isn’t really producing as a runner, but it’s nice to see these guys more involved in their respective teams’ receiving games....

The last time we saw Florida State on a football field, Alabama steamrolled the ‘Noles in Week 1 and quarterback Deondre Francois was lost for the season. Hurricane Irma’s devastation cost FSU its next two scheduled games, but the season resumes in Tallahassee today against N.C. State. No. 10 Ohio State and No. 19 Louisville also will see early action. It leads into a 3:30 p.m. ET slate that includes three top-five teams and a big one in Stillwater between two unbeatens: No....

In fact, rookie running backs don’t please us at all this week. Josh Jacobs has us worried that his workload in a stinky offense might not be enough to replicate his fantastic Week 1. Brady’s joined by another long-time fantasy stalwart, Matt Ryan, as a potential disappointment. And we’ve got a few prominent names in the WR/TE sections, including Michael Thomas, Josh Gordon and O.J. Howard, probably players you plan on starting most weeks....

Cook looks especially tough to start right now. He was targeted twice in Week 3 and has five catches through three games. We still think of him as a touchdown and down-the-field threat, but with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback, Cook just isn’t a reliable fantasy option, especially in PPR. Then in Detroit, after a monster Week 1, Hockenson has had back-to-back one-catch games. It’s not crazy to expect a rookie tight end to be boom-or-bust all season, so his value definitely takes a hit in PPR....

MORE WEEK 5 RANKINGS: QB | RB | TE | DEF | K FIVE STAR 1. Antonio Brown, Steelers @ Jaguars. Brown has been a beast, and he’s facing a team that has given up the second most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to opposing receivers. 2. Julio Jones, Falcons @ Giants 3. Dez Bryant, Cowboys vs. Texans 4. A.J. Green, Bengals @ Patriots. “Revis Island” may not be what it used to be, but a visit is still enough to “bump” Green to No....

We’ve identified which of those players are worth considering and highlighted one popular pickups you might want to avoid.

The previous two seasons don’t give Chiefs and Rams fans lots of hope. The last team to lose in 2017 was … the Chiefs (also 5-0), who finished 10-6, didn’t even end up with a playoff bye, then blew a second-half lead and lost to the Titans in Arrowhead, in the last game of the Alex Smith era. In 2016, it was the Vikings, making people believe they were OK without Teddy Bridgewater and with Sam Bradford....

It should also be a good week to be T.Y. Hilton. The Texans have allowed the third-most receptions to wide receivers in 2019, so Hilton might have a field day for Indianapolis. Minnesota also gives up a ton of receptions, so make sure Kenny Golladay is locked into your lineup. WEEK 7 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Deeper down the rankings, we love the San Francisco matchup with the Redskins, who’ve allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2019....

I almost always use a cash game strategy when trying to find value plays for my lineup. Many times, you don’t need to overthink rostering value plays in tournaments, provided that you look to diversify your lineup in other areas. Be sure to check out the RotoQL Trending Players Tool to quickly identify who the top value plays are each week. This article should just be one part of your Week 8 NFL DFS research....

Skyrim has been released on numerous platforms since its original debut back in 2011. Since then, a remastered version for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC was released called The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Special Edition. Then, there were the Switch version and VR releases of the game in 2017 and 2018. Finally, there was The Elder Scrolls 5: Anniversary Edition, which was released for modern consoles in 2021 and added a graphical overhaul and a few new features like fishing....

Government can’t rear children. It can’t supply the love, skills or social controls that most good parents provide. If girls become mothers before they’re ready and boys won’t be responsible fathers, children will suffer. Period. ““The success of the public safety net . . . depends on the success of the private safety net,’’ writes social critic Richard Neely in a recent book, ““and the private safety net is the family....
