Segments include: Week 14 Expert Picks: Give Dwayne Bowe one more chance? Give Fred Jackson one less chance? Give Ladarius Green his first chance?

Right off the bat, we’ll be monitoring Jalen Hurts (right shoulder), Lamar Jackson (knee), Mike White (ribs), and Colt McCoy (concussion) throughout the week, adjusting our rankings when news breaks regarding their injury statuses. All four are truly up in the air, and at least three could be started this week depending on the size of your league. For those searching for a championship-winning QB off the waiver wire, we highlighted Gardner Minshew (vs....
Just two teams are on bye this week (Rams, Broncos), and fantasy owners might actually be relieved they don’t have to make start ’em, sit ’em decisions with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon. The loss of those two and Darrell Henderson only slightly thins out our rankings and really doesn’t affect the very top tier. WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

Prospect: Alex Meyer, RHP, TwinsHeight: 6-9; Weight: 2202014 Stats (AAA): 7-7, 3.52 ERA, 130 Innings, 153 Ks, 1.38 WHIP Scouting Report Alex Meyer was originally drafted by the Red Sox out of high school in 2008 but decided to attend the University of Kentucky instead. One year after the Nationals took him in the first round of the 2011 draft, he was traded straight up for OF Denard Span. Meyer is an intimidating presence out on the mound standing 6’9” with a wingspan that would make Shaquille O’Neal blush....
Like luxury shoppers, holiday-home buyers are increasingly looking beyond the usual destinations. Rather than battle the crowds in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, they prefer quieter, more-remote locales like Nicaragua, Morocco, the gulf and Uruguay. Partly they’re being driven by the burgeoning second-home market; in the U.K. alone, the Knight Frank residential-research firm predicts second-home ownership will quadruple within the next 10 to 15 years. “There’s a desire for somewhere different now,” says Nick Barnes, a partner at Knight Frank....
The Farmers, like a few other early season events, is split across multiple courses with three rounds played on the iconic and difficult Torrey Pines South and one round played on the easier Torrey Pines North. It will be crucial for players to take advantage of their round on the North course if they want to make the cut, but for the purposes of this article I’m going to focus on the South course....
Mini and mod: The miniskirt, which made a comeback last spring, is still here and–with the return of opaque stockings and to-the-knee or over-the-knee boots–it’s the hippest look for fall. The newest twist to the mini is a pleated schoolgirl kilt. Some of the best are Jean Paul Gaultier’s “Braveheart” mini-kilts in Scottish plaids, and Burberry’s in wool and trimmed with leather, paired with fluorescent cashmere sweaters and strappy heels....
Had anyone studied CRP before you? In 1931 researchers discovered something they called “replication factor.” It was DNA. They also discovered CRP, but nobody thought about it again until the last five years. You found that people with low cholesterol weren’t necessarily healthy. They may be at very high risk. In our study, people with low LDL and high CRP had more cardiovascular events than people with high LDL and low CRP....
Currently, fast MRI screenings for breast cancer are primarily being used in addition to mammograms for women with dense breast tissue (40% to 50% of women) for which mammograms are less accurate. It is also seen as having a niche as an “in-between” test for those who do not qualify for a conventional MRI but have a somewhat higher risk for developing breast cancer. However, some researchers propose that abbreviated MRI may one day replace mammography for the early detection of breast cancer in women of average risk....
The photographer, David Melero Pena, posted a video of the sweet moment to his Instagram page on March 6. So far, it has received more than 6,000 views and over 400 likes, while shedding light on Ukraine’s ongoing refugee crisis after Russian President initiated a full-scale invasion on February 24. The video opened with the girl giggling in her father’s arms. “Papa,” she said before leaning in to give her father a hug....
Felicia and Cory Konold have been charged with conspiracy, civil disorder, disorderly conduct, obstruction of an official proceeding and entering a restricted building or grounds after allegedly taking part in the January 6 insurrection. The siblings were charged along with William Chrestman and Christopher Kuehne of Kansas and Luis Enrique Colon of Missouri. Chrestman, who was pictured wielding a club at the January 6 protest, was seen with Felicia Konold associating with Proud Boys members ahead of the attack....
“They’re going to dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s, but I believe with the impressive nature of the data that it should go through smoothly that by the time we get into December, we’ll be able to have doses available for people who are judged to be at the highest priority to get it first,” Fauci said during an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced Monday that it and German partner BioNTech have developed a COVID-19 vaccine that is 90 percent effective, based on early test results that must still receive full approval from independent researchers at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)....
Fauci told CNN on Monday he was more concerned about the Christmas holiday period than Thanksgiving as the U.S. reached a new record for people hospitalized with COVID-19. “My concerns are the same thing of the concerns that I had about Thanksgiving only this may be more compounded because it’s a longer holiday,” Fauci said. “With Thanksgiving, it was the end of the week and you go back to work the next week....
In a Q&A session with USA TODAY Network-Tennessee, the lead advisor on the pandemic to the Biden administration said: “There’s no chance we’re going to eliminate SARS-CoV-2, the respiratory syndrome that causes COVID-19. “We’ve only eliminated one viral human pathogen history—smallpox. And then there are the ones we’ve eliminated in this county, which are polio and measles.” Fauci, also the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), who has advised seven presidents on domestic and global health issues, added: “When you get vaccinated for measles, the durability of protection is usually life-long—the same goes for polio....
“I would support that if you want to get on a plane and travel with other people that you should be vaccinated,” Fauci said Sunday during an interview with theSkimm podcast. Two Democratic lawmakers have been pushing for vaccine mandates for all domestic travelers boarding flights. Citing a need to ensure the safety of passengers, Representative Don Beyer on Friday introduced a bill that would require domestic air and rail travelers to either show proof of vaccination or present a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of boarding flights and Amtrak trains....
The new information provided by the FBI’s Washington field office included two videos highlighting the route the suspect walked while placing the two bombs on January 5 between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. The first of the undetonated bombs was found by a woman walking outside the Republican National Committee (RNC) at midday on January 6. The woman said she stumbled across the device while on her way to do laundry near the building....
