For comparison, Mario Balotelli (5.4), Sergio Aguero (5.2) and Wilfried Bony (5.0) were the only players last season in the Premier League to average at least five per 90 (minimum 200 minutes played)....

Take the absences of Cam Akers (preseason injury) and David Montgomery (injured in Week 4) last year. After Akers tore his right Achilles in training camp, Darrell Henderson Jr. was a borderline RB1 in PPR formats for Weeks 1-12 before injuring his thigh. Bears rookie RB Khalil Herbert shouldered a much bigger load in the Bears offense, and from Weeks 5-8, he was a borderline RB1 in standard formats....

The top tiers at the TE position have a much bigger drop-off to the lower tiers relative to other positions, as there aren’t enough proven TEs who are capable of putting up consistent fantasy numbers. With tight end being the most top-heavy position in fantasy, hopefully you drafted one of the aforementioned players to round out your starting lineup. If you didn’t, that’s fine because there are other TEs with an opportunity to break out....

That highlighted a strange Week 10 for injuries that saw the Patriots’ Julian Edelman (ankle) leave early against the Giants, and both Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) and Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) suiting up despite some pessimistic reports early Sunday morning.

The 204-year-old publication, which has released annual extended weather forecasts since 1818, has warned the coming winter will have “plenty of snow, rain, and mush—as well as some record-breaking cold temperatures.” The forecast comes as many will have been hoping for a milder winter after a summer of extreme heat, as Americans continue to grapple with soaring energy bills and health hazards. Newsweek reported last month that more than a dozen people had died due to a dangerous heat wave across the U....

Symptoms People can experience farsightedness in different ways. It is also possible that some people with farsightedness will not notice anything wrong with their vision. The most common sign of hyperopia is that objects within close range will appear blurry, affecting the ability to read print materials or text on a computer screen. Performing tasks with objects in close range will force the eye’s muscles to work harder for farsighted people and potentially trigger other symptoms, including:...

Portugal’s Correio da Manhã identified the father as Trevor Pelling, a U.K. national working as a financial consultant in Dubai. The father was dragged out of the water by surfers at around 2:30 p.m. local time on Thursday. He was reported to have gone into the water to keep his daughters, aged 9 and 12, from being swept away. The children were reported to have faced trouble in a strong current while swimming at the beach in Mafra, just north of Ericeira, a town on the west coast of Portugal....

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet on Monday that the incident occurred “just after midnight” at a residence that was located on Feather Creek Drive. Shortly after the family pulled into their driveway, the two 16-year-old suspects “walked up to their SUV, and opened a rear door where their 1-yr-old was,” Gonzalez said. As the two suspects attempted to enter the vehicle, the father shot at them while his children were in their car seats, according to local news station KTRK....

Speaking on the one year anniversary that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a pandemic, Fauci said he believes “divisiveness” and “mixed messages” led to more than 500,000 deaths across the U.S. “One of the things I keep harkening back to, that you can’t run away from, is that we had such divisiveness in our country that even simple common sense public health measures took on a political connotation,” he told NBC’s Today....
