The byes are kind to tight ends this week. Logan Thomas and Darren Fells headline the group (along with Dan Arnold and Tyler Eifert, who was out last week), and both are somewhat TD-dependent streaming options. The absences of Fells and Thomas will thin out the streamers a bit, but that shouldn’t matter for most fantasy owners. WEEK 8 PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

At least Week 8 didn’t bring a whole new spate of injuries. Brandin Cooks sustained a concussion, but he’s on bye in Week 9, so we really only need to concern ourselves with a Dede Westbrook injury that’s borderline fantasy relevant, at best. Tyrell Williams and Christian Kirk both made Week 8 returns, and Keenan Allen played despite some doubts heading into Sunday. The WR position is getting healthier, and hopefully it’s helping your fantasy output improve, too....

After two months of teasing and confirming fighters for the upcoming Mortal Kombat X, NetherRealm Studios provided the full roster of fighters for the combat game. There are 29 confirmed fighters, with a few more still rumored to be joining in DLCs or add-ons. With less than two weeks left till the game releases, we’re confident NetherRealm’s marketing strategy will pay off. Also this week, Microsoft added another game to the growing list of release delays when it announced their Xbox One exclusive, Quantum Break, won’t be available until 2016....

RELATED: Games With Glitches That Destroy Your Save File Some games have in-world explanations for these save points. The writers position some function or task that the characters must fulfill in order for players to create a save file. Oftentimes, these substitutes are weird and contrived. More importantly, they create extra inconveniences for the player wanting to sign off or take a bathroom break. 7 Benches - Ico Minimalism has always been the MO of Team Ico’s titles, and that goes back to their debut game....

Cleared to play following his third diagnosed concussion since November, the Broncos receiver will get back in a game Sunday, when Denver travels to Seattle for a Super Bowl rematch. Welker’s suspension for testing positive for amphetamines in the offseason was cut in half when the NFL and the union agreed to a revamped drug policy. Still, the comeback feels a bit rushed, with the potential for life-altering consequences if the next big hit the 33-year-old takes to the head winds up being his last....

During Monday’s episode of “The Wendy Williams Show,” the 54-year-old talk show host explained why her ankles looked puffy in recent paparazzi photos. “Lymphedema, by the way, I’ve been diagnosed,” she explained. “It’s not going to kill me, but I do have a machine — and how dare you talk about the swelling of it all.” The talk show host said she had the condition under control and joked that her “machine” — likely a compression pump apparatus — has been a hit with friends....

Mack brings his own set of worries this week. An ankle injury knocked him out of Week 4’s loss to the Raiders early, but a favorable Sunday night matchup against the Chiefs awaits in Week 5. If Mack can’t go, Jordan Wilkins would take over lead-back duties, but Nyheim Hines would likely also see a big PPR boost. The Colts could easily find themselves in comeback mode in that game, which would mean plenty of checkdowns to Hines like we saw last week (six catches on six targets)....

In truth, there aren’t a lot of high-volume tight ends in the NFL. Those that are tend already to be the top players at the position position, like Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Darren Waller, and Zach Ertz. But there are some other PPR sleepers emerging, such as Logan Thomas and Dalton Schultz. They are both being targeted relatively frequently, so they could work their way into the streamer conversation against the Rams and Giants, respectively, in Week 5....

Tier 1: Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions. Stafford averages 304 yards passing per game and will be going up against a banged up Dallas defense. Tier 2: Eli Manning, QB, Giants. Manning hasn’t been good this season, but he didn’t commit a turnover in his last game. He should be able to build on that performance in a rematch against the weak Eagles secondary. Tier 3: Wes Welker, WR, Broncos. The Redskins allow the fifth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and Welker should find himself in position to frequently take advantage of those openings....

After months of living during a pandemic, people started traveling again and Transportation Security Administration saw an uptick in passengers over the summer and fall, breaking the 1 million mark on October 18. The day before Thanksgiving, known as the busiest travel day of the year, broke a record for the number of people passing through TSA checkpoints, at 1,070,967 people, but Saturday, December 19, was an even busier day....

But a broken wrist cut short Vereen’s breakout before Week 2. Now ,after a stint on the short-term I.R., he is set to return for Week 11. Unfortunately, the time for Vereen to shine was the early part of the season, when the Patriots were devoid of proven options. Now Gronkowski and Danny Amendola are back from injury and rookie Aaron Dobson has stepped up. Ridley has put his ball security woes behind him and has averaged at least four yards per carry in each of his last five games....

“I’m hit!” I cried. Then the ref called a time out. This was “paintball”: the toughest game you’ll ever love. Paintball is a battle-simulation game in which adults shoot paint pellets at each other using compressed-air guns. It is immensely popular. Every weekend, rain or shine, scenes like the above are played out in fields all across America. I was recently drafted into my first paintball game by a friend in Washington, D....

Reddit user Exiledlemon recently shared a clip from their Assassin’s Creed Valhalla adventure in which they’re attempting to battle the Elk of Bloody Peaks, one of several Legendary animals in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The clip begins with the player dodging the Elk of Bloody Peaks at low health with the animal at under half health, showing that quite a battle had already transpired before the video begins. As the player rolls away from the imposing stag, the animal rears up for a charged attack and runs towards Exiledlemon at full speed to hilarious effect....
