The researchers behind the study say that public health measures with an emphasis on weight loss “can improve outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The study’s suggestion that people carrying excess weight are at greater risk of severe illness from COVID isn’t new; previous studies have established obesity as a COVID risk factor and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) lists obesity as a condition that increases the likelihood of severe illness with COVID, along with other medical conditions like diabetes and cancer....

RELATED: League Of Legends: Weird Bot Lane Combos You Should Try Every single Champion is designed to fit a single role, whether it be Top Lane, Mid, Jungle, ADC, or Support. A Support Champion resides in the Bot Lane with their ADC, and for the most part, they are meant to provide crowd control, shielding, or healing. Other Supports tend to be initiators who can tank damage. There are plenty of traditional Support Champions in LoL, but there are several non-Support Champions who are surprisingly effective in the role....

At just 22 years old, Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is quickly establishing himself as one of those bankable A-list hoopers as he continues to show that not only is he ready for the big stage….he’s built for it. Sure, we’re only one week into the new NBA season, but Morant has been building towards this level of play since he first stepped onto an NBA floor, electrifying crowds with his athleticism and sheer determination to turn opposing centers into screensavers at the rim....

The first targets seven individual drivers who were allegedly part of the so-called “Trump Train” that tailed the campaign bus on I-35 in Texas on Oct. 30, 2020. The plaintiffs are Davis, a former Texas state senator; Eric Cervini, a historian; David Gins, a White House staffer; and Timothy Halloway, the driver of the Biden campaign bus. The suit alleges the “Trump Train” group violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 as well as Texas law by planning a “politically-motivated conspiracy to disrupt the campaign and intimidate its supporters....

Alaba should be Man City’s top target The England international revealed last week that there will come a time he ponders leaving the Gunners if he does cement a first-team place with the club, which remains his main goal. Wenger found it hard to argue with Oxlade-Chamberlain’s remarks but is eager to keep him at the Emirates Stadium. The Frenchman advised the midfielder to look at the resurgence of another former Southampton star, Theo Walcott, for inspiration after starting only three Premier League matches so far this season....

MORE RANKINGS: PG | SF | PF | C James Harden (HOU: 4 Games): Harden is definitely playing at his best right now and contributing triple-doubles. 2. Klay Thompson (GSW: 4 Games): It is very hard to deny one of the best shooters in the game who is one half of the top scoring backcourt in the league. 3. Gordon Hayward (UTAH: 4 Games): He continues to be the Jazz’s primary scoring weapon from mid and long range....

This week’s rankings are also without Packers and Eagles, as they’re the first two teams to have a bye. This means sleepers and one-week waiver wire pickups are more important than ever, and you better believe we have a bunch for you. (Note: You don’t actually have to believe that, but it is true.) The biggest thing to note about this week’s rankings is we actually feel somewhat secure in highlighting good and bad matchups....

This is the heaviest game in an NFC top-heavy week. It also happens to feature the NFL’s two most bitter, oldest rivals.

This tell us two things: There are a lot of bad defenses this year, and there’s no excuse for starting a shaky QB this week. Carson Wentz (@ Steelers) and Tom Brady (@ 49ers) are about the only “starting” QBs with bad matchups on paper, and while very few Wentz owners will need to be talked out of sitting him, Brady owners likely will want to ride with the GOAT after his five-TD game....

The individual parts of our QB-WR-WR stack will likely be popular, but pairing all three together might be a differentiator. We’re banking on the public fading an RB (hopefully) returning from injury as we try to get a low-ownership advantage there. We’re also going with an RB-WR stack after seeing that trend pop up a couple times in the perfect DraftKings lineup review.

The big trio that needs to hit for this lineup to perform is Murray, Hopkins and Andy Isabella. The Cardinals should be in a shootout with the Seahawks, and we’ve chosen the Arizona stack over the Seattle stack in the hopes that Murray’s rushing makes the difference.

We’ll help sort through the available options to determine which players being widely added or (overlooked) are worth the trouble and which you might be best steering clear from. It’s not an exact science, of course, but this should be a solid guide for navigating fantasy baseball free agents in the near-term.

Instead of playing up at QB, we play way down and benefit with the top two RBs on the slate. We even fit Tyreek Hill in, too. Luton’s skillset and matchup are just good enough that using him with Gardner Minshew out isn’t a totally insane idea. (It might just crazy enough to work!)

Fortunately, we do have a better feeling when it comes to other players. Unfortunately, those feelings are negative, be it because of injury, bad matchup, or uncertain playing time. So, whether you like hardcore stats analysis or you just want to hear what someone’s gut feeling is telling them, we have you covered. Here are some of our least favorite plays for Week 9.

The Bears did fantasy owners a huge favor by ruling Cutler out early, enabling both his owners, and anyone who wanted to gamble on McCown facing a lousy Cowboys secondary, a clear situation. What is going to be less clear is the weather for Monday night. Wunderground.com’s current forecast is for it to be cold with winds around 15 miles per hour. While games have been played under windier conditions, those types of conditions can have an effect on the passing game....
