We’re not being shy about aggressively moving up hot-starting TEs, especially if they look to have favorable matchups. After just two weeks, it’s still tough to know what’s real and what’s an aberration, but there are plenty of trends that look legit, such as Smith’s breakout, Noah Fant’s emergence, T.J. Hockenson’s consistency, and Mike Gesicki’s enhanced role in the Dolphins’ offense. We’re not going to write off Ertz just yet, but Rob Gronkowski might be the definition of “touchdown-or-bust,” which carries even less value in PPR leagues....

Of course, with byes now upon us, the Bears and Bucs aren’t included in these rankings. The notable Bears duo of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen would normally be staples of the top 30, but with them out, fantasy owners will have to turn to other options. Some potential replacements are waiver wire pickup Nyheim Hines (@ Patriots), Buck Allen (@ Browns), and even a guy like Ty Montgomery (@ Lions)....

Last week was a tough one for our sleeper picks. Andy Dalton, Kerryon Johnson, and Sterling Shepard were really the only two that panned out big-time at skill positions, while the Packers D/ST put up solid numbers as well. However, injuries rendered guys like O.J. Howard and Chris Carson non-factors while other guys (we’re looking at you Kenyan Drake) put up duds. We’ll do what we can to bounce back and get some better sleeper candidates for Week 5....

As always, even perennial stars can bust in favorable matchups – like A.J. Brown in Week 5 – but we know players like him are “must-starts.” We’ll stick to naming guys on the start-or-sit bubble. As mentioned above, you can’t always avoid players on this list. Sometimes you don’t have the depth to reasonably bench these guys (or you might just totally disagree with our assessments). WEEK 6 FANTASY: Sleepers | Start ’em, sit ’em...

Still, this week’s top 15 is stacked at the top (thank you, Rob Gronkowski) and solid toward the bottom, as there are several favorable matchups for sleepers like Benjamin Watson and Larry Donnell. Unless you’re dealing with an injury to Antonio Gates and don’t have a backup, you should be able to find a capable fill-in. And for those in daily fantasy football contests, there are plenty of good value picks available....

- Next Game from Dying Light Developer [HTML1] For the last year, developer Techland has been focused on promoting and supporting their first-person zombie survival game, Dying Light. But that’s not all the Techland crew has been up to. Turns out they’ve been developing their next game, FIM Speedway Grand Prix 15, a motorcycle racing game coming to PlayStation 4 later this year. According to the developer, the game will feature “dynamic real-time commentary, online matches for up to four players, roaring engines, incredible speed, dangerous shoulder-to-shoulder racing, cheering crowds, and clouds of dirt and shale”....

So it seemed until last week, when doctors at the Mayo Clinic and the MeritCare Medical Center in Fargo, N.D., released a series of case studies that suggested fen-phen might have a potentially fatal side effect, a rare malfunction of the valves inside the heart. The studies aren’t anywhere near conclusive - they describe only 24 long-term fen-phen users, and the Food and Drug Administration has found nine others. But the news has the weight-loss community worried....

For those who have been playing on PlayStation since the PS3 days, they have been earning trophies for nearly 15 years now. Trophies were not inherently part of the PS3, but were added in an update a few years into the console’s lifespan as a rival service to Xbox’s achievement and Gamerscore systems. Whether it’s on console or through the PlayStation App, players can check their trophy collection in its entirety, with games being denoted with certain flairs—a console-specific tag, and unique game-icon shapes—to help differentiate console generations....

Reddit user Bodethewise recently shared a clip of their adventure in Fallout 4 which begins with the player performing the lockpicking mini-game initially feeling for the sweet spot before successfully unlocking the door. This Diamond City door is to the Hawthorne Residence which requires advanced lockpicking, some bobby pins, and the ability to stay undetected in a populated part of the capital city. After a brief loading screen, Bodethewise discovers an unexpectedly cluttered house that’s occupied exclusively by cats....

And then the lights went out on the backstretch, another sign perhaps that the 5-Hour Energy 400 was going to be a bizarre race. It was. Local favorite Jamie McMurray slammed the wall, causing his car to catch on fire and burn into a charred mess. Denny Hamlin, last week's winner, spun out, ruining what looked like a promising night. Driver after driver got caught on pit road when a caution flag came out, catching them a lap down....

RELATED: Kirby 64: Features We Wish Would Return Fans of the Kirby franchise may quickly realize a few very things that are different in Manga Mania compared to the Kirby video games. For one, most of the featured stories don’t involve Kirby saving the world from some abomination. Also, while Kirby retains his copy abilities, he doesn’t always use them to save the day. The following are only a handful of the noteworthy differences from the mainline canon....

A Reddit user on r/DestinyTheGame started a thread reporting the error on May 20th. Some people commented and said they were also experiencing the issue, while others reported their accounts were loading up just fine. The issue appears to be affecting players who’ve linked their Bungie accounts to Twitch. Although this doesn’t appear to be as bad as the Destiny server crash late last year, players are still upset they can’t access their accounts....

As can be expected, not all of these devices and gameplay mechanics make a lot of sense when put into practical application. Some are real head-scratchers, and we’ve compiled a list of 5 of the weirdest hacking methods in video games to highlight just how strange game developers have made things in order to make their titles more a little more unique and memorable. 5 Titanfall - Stab It With A Computer Knife Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall 2 revitalized the franchise and took gamer’s across a stunning campaign that not only gives an invigorating look at the bond between man and metal, but fleshes out the universe in which The Militia takes the fight to the IMC....

John F. Kennedy was the epitome of cool detachment, of effortless grace, of never seeming to try too hard while still accomplishing great things. He was elegant and eloquent, cerebral and witty, but a little distant. His brother Bobby was hot: fierce, scrappy, relentless, angry, soulful. The two brothers could not have been closer, or more different; JFK was, in Arthur Schlesinger’s description, “a realist brilliantly disguised as a romantic,” while RFK was “a romantic stubbornly disguised as a realist....
