Obviously, everything we just said is a lie. No one cares about kickers or kicker rankings – unless you’re one of the unlucky losers who faced Stephen Gostkowski or Joey Slye last week. However, because most fantasy owners refuse to eliminate the kicker position out of some weird sense of tradition (or just laziness), we’re happy to provide an ordered list of the top kickers every week. WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight End | D/ST...

One player who isn’t a sleeper anymore is Austin Ekeler. He’s just a full-blown fantasy stud who picks up points on the ground and in the receiving game. Ekeler gets the mouthwatering matchup with Miami in Week 4. The Dolphins allowed 100-yard games to both Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard in Week 3, so there should be plenty of yardage to go around for the Chargers – enough to make Justin Jackson an interesting deep-league play, especially with bye weeks here....

We took so many baths that we’ll be zestfully clean for rest of the 2017 NFL season. So let’s laugh, shake it off and get back on the donkey descending down into the depths. They also didn’t use to call his the fearless forecast for nothing. Points spreads and odds are courtesy of Bovada. Check back for updated lines throughout the week.

We’re not counting on 199 DraftKings points like last week, but dropping another 150 would certainly do. We’re looking at you, Falcons-Steelers. Week 5 Rankings:Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker NFL Week 5 DraftKings Cash Lineup For DraftKings cash games on the Sunday 12-game slate.

Here's what some players and coaches had to say on Twitter: MORE: Week 6 photos | Big Ten trophies | Scoreboard

We know guys like Evans, Allen, Julio Jones, and DeAndre Hopkins are too talented to cede the bulk of production to teammates for much longer, though in Evans’s case, teammate Chris Godwin might be surpassing him. We’ve ranked Godwin higher this week, and that could be the case the rest of the year. Jones (@ Cardinals) and Hopkins (@ Chiefs) are in perfect bounce-back spots, and while Calvin Ridley and Fuller can have good games, too, we think the hierarchies get restored in Atlanta and Houston this week....

There will be a lot of talk about the “last time” leading up to the matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 8 Tennessee at Neyland Stadium on Oct. 15. That kind of hype is always part of the run-up to a potential “Game of the Year.” The “last time” Tennessee beat Alabama? That was in 2006 when the Volunteers won 16-13. Alabama coach Nick Saban was in his second season with the Miami Dolphins, and Tennessee coach Josh Heupel was the quarterbacks coach at alma mater Oklahoma....

That's it. Simple, right? To make it even easier, here's a look at my picks for the Week 9 DFFC $22 qualifier (rules and details below): QB1: Cam Newton ($17,463). Newton is on a roll and faces the Falcons, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. QB2: Tony Romo ($15,197). Romo gets yet another favorable matchup against the Vikings, who are even more generous than the Falcons against fantasy QBs....

The 78-year-old will have been at the IWF for more than half a century when his latest four-year term ends. He first joined the executive board in 1970 before becoming general secretary in 1976, a role he held until he was electedpresident in 2000. He is an honorary member of the IOC and a foundation board member of the World Anti-Doping Agency. The IOC is due to discuss the Olympic sports programme, and weightlifting’s place on it, in September....

Popular Twitch streamer, KingGothalion took a short break from streaming No Mans Sky’s new Beyond update on Twitch when he came across a weird half-octopus, half-mushroom looking creature that appeared to be glitching on the spot to the beat of the music. What originally appeared to be a glitch quickly changed into something far more entertaining. RELATED: Could No Man’s Sky Come to Switch? Just as the rhythm of the music had changed, the weird-looking creature instantly snapped out of the glitch and began jumping around the planet rather enthusiastically as if it was dancing....

Spheal is an Ice/Water-type Pokemon that was first introduced in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Many players consider Spheal to be one of the cutest Pokemon in the franchise, and as a result, look forward to catching one in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus Fan Makes Incredible Custom Manual for the Game As opposed to the other mainline Pokemon games, Pokemon Legends: Arceus changed the formula. Instead of focusing on battling against Gym Leaders and earning badges, players catch Pokemon as they travel across the Hisui region in order to obtain information for the Pokedex....

Democrats began feeling hopeful when they heard Republicans mention the word ““orphanage.’’ Evoking Oliver Twist is the perfect way to paint the recently released Republican welfare-reform plan as wacko extremism. But the ““Personal Responsibility Act’’ – offered as part of the ““Contract With America’’ – merely offers money to the states to set up orphanages if they want, and even then it’s an extremely minor part of the welfare plan....

Knile Davis, RB, Chiefs. Jamaal Charles was one of several high-profile fantasy stars to go down Sunday, leaving with an ankle injury late in the first quarter. Davis looked strong and explosive in relief, and should be picked up regardless if you own Charles. If Charles misses time, Davis has huge upside in a conservative, run-first offense. Donald Brown, RB, Chargers. Ryan Mathews was carted off the field against the Seahawks with an apparent right knee injury and the fragile back could be out for a while....

There’s a good chance Crosby was on a fantasy team (and Sturgis was in the discussion), so at least one owner in your league will be heading to the waiver wire this week. Could we interest them in a Josh Lambo? Perhaps a Dustin Hopkins? The choices aren’t endless – they only seem that way. The key thing to remember when your kicker is on bye – cut your old kicker, or, you know, someone really bad....

Maybe we shouldn’t be so dismissive. After all, Kansas City’s Cairo Santos was a mere afterthought in most leagues before kicking seven field goals last week, nearly tying the record for most FGs made in one game. Santos only attempted one field goal in Weeks 2 and 3 combined, so his Week 4 outburst was certainly a surprise. Santos’ seven FGs were good enough to get him in the top 10 this week, but we’re not going to chase the points and put him ahead of consistent stalwarts like Brandon McManus, Stephen Gostkowski, or Justin Tucker....

For now, we’re leaving Ryan (ankle) in our rankings and keep Brees (thumb) out, but that could easily flip based on mid-week reports. We’ll be ready to update as soon as we get word on either. Assuming both play, both would be in the starting tier, but we’ll have to wait to see how they progress. WEEK 8 NON-PPR RANKINGSRunning back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...
