This is yet another obvious blow to Green Bay's passing attack, but fantasy owners shouldn't abandon ship until we know the severity of Rodgers' injury. Expect the Packers to lean even more heavily on rookie Eddie Lacy and the run game, which likely means more work for backup James Starks and possibly even Johnathan Franklin. Here's a roundup of other key injuries from Week 9: MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL: Rookie breakouts, sleepers | Fantasy Source 30-day trial...

As always this time of year, injuries are a concern, and after Will Fuller was lost for the season, Mike Evans limped out of last week’s game, and guys like Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson, and Keke Coutee didn’t even play, we’ll likely have to make changes to this list throughout the week. Amari Cooper is finally back, though, so that’s…something. Week 9 Rankings:Quarterback | Running Back | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker...

While early game ownership always surpass those on the later portion of the slate, I recommend extreme discipline in not getting over-invested in the 1 p.m. games as the people at the top of the leaderboards when they kick off in Oakland and Seattle will almost certainly be surpassed by the end of play. Before we break down top Week 9 value plays, please note that the picks and analysis below is provided by the industry-leading DFS experts at RotoQL Find out why 100,000 DFS players trust RotoQL to build lineups....

Over the years, more immersion-breaking bugs have revealed themselves and taken players out of Skyrim’s dragon-slaying experience, but many find themselves return every now and then regardless. Despite any shortcomings, Skyrim remains an impressive feat of game development, and players can still learn to have fun with the occasional bug that rears its scaly head. RELATED: Skyrim Draugr Battle Ends With Backflip Over Throne User precnn on the r/skyrim subreddit shows off one strange bug which occurs after killing a dragon on the roadside....

These iconic players will grace the covers of NBA 2K20, marking the latest edition of the game that has defined basketball culture for over two decades. All editions of NBA 2K20 will be available worldwide on September 6, 2019. “I’m honored to be back representing NBA 2K,” said Davis. “Being picked as the face of NBA 2K20 means the world to me, and I’m excited for the fans to experience the best sports simulation in the world this Fall....

As everyone knows, CEOs–and a few other top executives–have been on a financial joy ride. From 1992 to 2001, the top five executives of the largest 1,500 U.S. companies made $67 billion in stock- option profits, report Joseph Blasi, Douglas Kruse and Aaron Bernstein, authors of “The Company of Owners: The Truth About Stock Options.” Even if these gains were skewed toward a small group, typical compensation exploded. From 1993 to 2002, the median cash portion (annual salary, plus bonus) of CEO pay packages at 350 companies rose 53 percent to $1....

Jono Wells was instrumental to the Strikers’ 162-4, sharing in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 71 with Matthew Short, before the duo of Peter Siddle and Rashid Khan frustrated the Stars’ batsmen with the ball. The win saw Adelaide move above Sydney Sixers in the table, both sides on 15 points, five behind the Stars. Wells’ knock gave the home side’s innings much-needed impetus after Phil Salt, Jake Weatherald and Alex Carey all got starts without going beyond 40....

Another German sled — Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken — finished second, and the Austrian team of Thomas Steu and Lorenz Koller was third. That was enough to keep the Austrians in the lead in the season’s overall doubles standings, barely ahead of Eggert and Benecken. Chris Mazdzer and Jayson Terdiman of the U.S. were fifth in the doubles race. In men’s singles later Friday, Austria’s Wolfgang Kindl won, with Russia’s Roman Repilov finishing second and Olympic champion David Gleirscher of Austria taking third for his first World Cup medal....

FIVE STAR 1. Drew Brees, Saints vs. Vikings2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers @ Lions3. Matt Ryan, Falcons vs. Buccaneers. Look for “Matty Ice” to put last week’s rough outing behind him.4. Peyton Manning, Broncos @ Seahawks. Manning “plummets” down the rankings this week thanks to a tough matchup against the Seahawks and the 12th Man.5. Matthew Stafford, Lions vs. Packers FOUR STAR Andrew Luck, Colts @ Jaguars7. Nick Foles, Eagles vs....

You’d think in a week with four rookie QBs starting, we’d be able to find some better sleepers, but the Cardinals (@ 49ers) are playing a pretty bad defense, and the Browns (vs. Ravens) and Jets (vs. Broncos) are playing D/STs that are likely already owneds. The Bills (vs. Titans) provide the best streaming opportunity, with the Cardinals (@ 49ers) also right there given their matchup against a backup QB....

Of course, just as we wrote in the standard rankings, Austin Hooper wins the matchup sweepstakes this week against Arizona. He’s already been a top-tier tight end this season, especially in PPR with his consistent volume. He’ll be a favorite DFS play this week, too. WEEK 6 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Gerald Everett broke out on a prime-time stage on Thursday Night Football last week for the Rams....

That said, Mark Andrews will be out this week, so that will eliminate a top-five option for fantasy owners. Mike Gesicki, Trey Burton, Irv Smith Jr., and Kyle Rudolph will also be unavailable, so this week’s TE rankings aren’t quite as deep as usual. They will look even worse if Jonnu Smith (ankle) and Zach Ertz (foot) are out (UPDATE: Ertz is, in fact, out and will be for about a month after suffering a high ankle sprain​)....

In terms of banged-up RBs, Cook is almost certainly out for another week, while Fournette is on bye. Matt Breida is dealing with an ankle injury and on a short week, he may not be able to play or could be limited. But we thought that last week and he ended up playing and leading the team in carries. And one dark horse to watch is Sony Michel. He’s dealing with a week-to-week knee injury, but if he returns to practice, he could be genuinely questionable for Sunday night....

So, which were the standout oddities at the 2021 edition of CES? Keep reading to find out. 1. Cove’s Stress-Reducing Headband When you think of stress-relieving tricks, your mind probably starts to wander to vacations in remote places or perhaps a week without the kids. None of that is necessary according to Cove. The company’s $490 headband uses “proprietary gentle vibrations” to activate the part of your brain that manages your emotions and reduces stress....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been very popular with fans of the Pokemon franchise, and have received praise for implementing some new gameplay elements. These include an open-world exploration element, with players no longer being gated into a linear path of progression throughout the game, as well as a new battle mechanic called Terastallization. This is similar to Mega Evolution in previous games, as it allows players to boost up their Pokemon and unlock different mechanics to give them an edge....

With just under 5,000 upvotes and an approval rating of 99 percent, u/CNE_Spooders’ clip showcases one of the funniest glitches to be captured in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim in some time. The seconds-long-snippet sees a band of archers float across the sky, stuck in a strange animation as they pass by the player. The clip is made all the funnier by the cries of some nearby NPC soldiers who seem to be every bit as confused as the player....
