There are always enough QBs to go around in fantasy, considering that it is one of the deepest positions. That means that if you need to find a streamer for a week – especially if you don’t trust Aaron Rodgers’ banged up knee or Carson Wentz in his first game back from injury – guys like Mitchell Trubisky (@ Cardinals), Alex Smith (vs. Packers), and Tyrod Taylor (vs. Jets) could be worth a shot in Week 3....
There were definitely some high points to last week’s stacks. Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were awesome, as were Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. Ryan Tannehill was great, too, but we left out Jonnu Smith (though Corey Davis did at least get a touchdown). We’re go back to Tannehill again this week anyway!

For the second straight week, Patrick Mahomes gets to face an exciting quarterback counterpart, this time the Patriots and Cam Newton. Just like with the Ravens in Week 3, this matchup poses a much tougher defensive test for Mahomes than it does for his opponent. Hopefully, the strong QB dual leads to a high-scoring shootout, but either way, you’re not going to sit Mahomes, regardless of matchup. (Update: Newton is out after being placed on the COVID-19 list, and this game will be played Monday or Tuesday if it gets played at all this week....

Baseball is in the midst of a youth movement, and teams are much more willing to promote prospects under the age of 20 – some who haven’t faced competition higher than Double-A – straight to the major leagues.

You’d have to imagine that unproven players wouldn’t generate this much interest, but prospects dominate headlines....
Video Game News 1. Capcom Launches Retail Store A Capcom retail shop is set to open in Tokyo on April 14th this year where they will hold events, provide free wi-fi for gamers and, according to Destructoid, “one of a kind sculptures” - bizarre. On top of the standard merch, however, the store is also expected to carry exclusive products previously only available on their e-store, E-Capcom. Anyone in the Tokyo area this year should check it out… or you can just wait until the Super or Ultimate Capcom store opens, which is said to be pretty much the same, but with more sculptures....
Researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand and the United Kingdom have developed a device called the DentalSlim Diet Control that is fitted by a dentist and uses magnets and bolts to limit the opening of the jaw to about 2 millimeters. The device facilitates weight loss because the wearer’s ability to open their mouth is restricted, and they must rely on a liquid diet. In a statement from the University of Otago, lead researcher Professor Paul Brunton said that the DentalSlim Diet Control device is an effective, safe, and affordable tool for people with obesity....
Weigl was substituted after 66 minutes of Wednesday’s 1-0 friendly win over England in Dortmund with a bruised left thigh and he left Germany’s training base ahead of their departure to Baku. Arsenal playmaker Ozil did not feature against England, when Lukas Podolski signed off his international career with a spectacular winner, and is nursing back pain in the build-up to Sunday’s match. RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has already withdrawn from Joachim Low’s squad with a hamstring injury after making his international debut in midweek....
Past releases have included plenty of strange evolution methods, such as Karrablast and Shelmet from Pokemon Black and White only evolving when traded for one another, unlike other trade-exclusive evolutions. These mechanics are interesting because the whole Pokemon community comes together when secrets of new games are yet to be discovered, and that alone is a good reason for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to bring them back. There are many examples of wacky evolutions across all the generations of Pokemon games, but some of the more recent ones set a new bar for the future....

Arsenal piled more misery on the under-pressure Toffees boss Ronald Koeman with a dominant display at Goodison Park, cruising to a 5-2 triumph on Merseyside. It provided a fitting response to their defeat at Watford last time out and Ozil – who could well leave in the January transfer window with his contract expiring at the end of the season – put on a scintillating showing on his return to the starting XI....
Danny Woodhead Just what the Chargers needed. San Diego running back Woodhead, who got the start against Buffalo in place of injured feature back Ryan Mathews, sustained a serious ankle injury. ESPN.com reports that Woodhead has a severe high ankle sprain with a fractured fibula. Fox Sports reports that Woodhead could get a second opinion, but may require surgery on his right leg. Donald Brown is the Chargers’ replacement. Dennis Pitta Pitta, Baltimore’s tight end, was carted off the field in Cleveland Sunday afternoon, reportedly with a dislocated hip....
The second game in Saturday’s doubleheader features the Dallas Renegades visiting the Seattle Dragons, which should mean good things for Dallas’s D/ST. Sunday kicks off with the New York Guardians facing the St. Louis Battlehawks and their stud backfield combo of Jordan Ta’amu and Matt Jones. The weekend is capped with the defensive-minded D.C. Defenders visiting the Los Angeles Wildcats. MORE: Free one-week trial of Fantasy Alarm’s PRO tools...
It didn’t get better from there. Ohio State (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) routed Wisconsin 52-21 in a not-so-gentle reminder that the Buckeyes’ ‘A-game’ is better than anyone else in the Big Ten and is enough to give No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Georgia a run. This was the flex the Buckeyes wanted against Notre Dame on Sept. 3. Maybe Ohio State should wear those all-black uniforms more often?

The Angels’ offense was still a bit spotty, but Albert Pujols (three HRs) kept the power stroke alive, and Mike Trout dropped two bombs. Trout will continue to heat up as we turn the page to May, and his early-week matchup against Milwaukee (worst staff ERA in baseball) is a good place to start.

The extreme value plays also allow us to pack our lineup with three studs in Davante Adams, Calvin Ridley and Derrick Henry. This approach consistently draws us in because of the high floor it creates for any lineup. Those stars will do their thing and put you in range of a big day, so you only need a few of the value picks to work out to really roll in the money....
The wide receivers were extra random this week, though, with big performances coming against arguably the league’s top two defenses (Bears, Jaguars). There’s a reason DFS sites give out massive bonuses for hitting on a perfect lineups, as no one could have see that coming…right?
