A video of the live performance was posted to TikTok on Tuesday by Sus (@susannaeallreddd), who wrote: “Soooo in case you didn’t know, Jason Derulo is classically trained in opera. I hope this ends up on your fyp [for you page].” The post has amassed over 2.2 million views and thousands of comments from fans, many of whom were shocked to learn the pop performer could sing operatically. However, Derulo hasn’t shied away from showing off this not-so-hidden vocal talent of his throughout the years....

And when Muhammad Ali passed away later that year—June 3, 2016—James said he hoped to be a voice for former black athletes who spoke up for social issues before him. Fast forward to last week, and James had been relatively quiet after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey got both his team and most of the NBA in hot water with China for his tweet that supported a Hong Kong free from Chinese communism....

The chicken joint unveiled its hotly anticipated meat-free nuggets earlier this month after partnering up with Beyond Meat, but diners have compared their look to “erasers.” The latest menu option, available across the U.S., caused a stir on social media as customers snapped up the guilt-free treat. Announcing the new addition online, KFC said: “The plant-based Beyond Fried Chicken was developed by Beyond Meat exclusively for KFC. It’s packed with delicious flavor and the juicy satisfaction that you’d expect from KFC’s iconic fried chicken but in a plant-based option that’s still finger lickin’ good....

You better believe players know where they stand at this point in the season, and if they're closing in on a statistical milestone -- 20/20, 40 steals, 20 wins -- then they (and their managers) might get a little silly over the final few weeks trying to reach it. The Fantasy Source crew talks about this phenomenon in our latest Sporting News Fantasy Source Baseball podcast (Download link). Topics include: Can anyone run down Jacoby Ellsbury for the AL stolen base crown?...

Here's another thing about Fantasy Source: We've won three-straight Fantasy Sports Writer's Association awards for "Best Fantasy Baseball Publication," and we're currently nominated for No. 4. And our 2014 preview magazine, which hits newsstands on Tuesday, Jan. 14, might be our best one yet and help us take home trophy No. 5. What's our secret? Well, besides bribery and PEDs, we simply enjoy writing and talking about fantasy baseball. And we like to think it shows not only in our preview magazine, but also in our latest Sporting News Fantasy Source Baseball podcast (Download link)....

Whether it's a young pitcher sharpening a secondary pitch, a young fielder learning another position or a fantasy baseball writer going on "The Tonight Show" because he and his wife had a funny-sounding wedding announcement, a lot can happen in the offseason that affects fantasy drafts. Confused? Don't be. It's all explained in the latest Sporting News Fantasy Source Baseball podcast (Download link). Our second segment (starts at 20:24) centers around the top prospects you'll be hearing about throughout the spring, but before we get to that, we grill our very own Bill Bender about his experience earlier this week on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno....

Despite being considered one of the top prospects in baseball just one year ago, owners in fantasy mock drafts seem to be shying away from Profar, who comes with a very reasonable 238.7 ADP, according to Mock Draft Central. That's probably because he didn't make an immediate fantasy impact last year with the Rangers in his first extended stay in the majors. As a 20-year-old, Profar hit just .234/.308/.336 with six homers and two steals (caught four times) in 286 at-bats....

As a result, Fantasy Basketball rosters are becoming increasingly difficult to navigate with more players out than there are IR spots on your roster. Before we discuss how to handle those IR spots, let me make one suggestion that your league should consider adding an extra IR spot (or two). Just this week – even though it is 10 weeks into the Fantasy Basketball season – my league just went from two IR spots to four due to the number of players out in COVID-19 protocols, with a plan to re-evaluate the number of IR spots necessary in a few weeks....

While some of the players below are “high profile”, all of them are less than 10% owned but likely shouldn’t be. So, if you’re in a pinch or are lower in your league standings than you’d like, consider adding any of these players from our Differential XI. GK: Alphonse Areola - PSG, £6.2m, owned by 9.43% of managers DEF: Alberto Moreno - Liverpool, £6.0m, 1.84% DEF: Marquinhos - PSG, £6....

This was largely due to the fact that a whopping 10 goals were scored in just these two matches, but, strangely, no player other than Roma’s Radja Nainggolan scored more than one of those goals though. GK: Keylor Navas - Real Madrid - 1 Game, 8 Saves, 2 Goals Conceded = 4 Points DF: Marcelo - Real Madrid - 1 Game, 1 Assist, 2 Goals Conceded = 3 Points...

You have to make some tough decisions on draft day, and that includes deciding which rookies and other unheralded players are worth the opportunity cost of a mid- or late-round draft pick. With that in mind, here is our “All-Sleeper Team” for 2016.

Let’s take a deep-dive into which players you should consider picking up and which players you should consider leaving on the bench as we head into what we’ve all been waiting for and worked so hard to accomplish. Go with what got you here and don’t overthink it. However, don’t just play a guy because you spent an early draft pick on him four months ago. Trust your research and trust your instincts....

If you read this article every week, you’ll notice a lot of familiar names. We’re at the point in the season where there aren’t many surprises. We know the favorable/unfavorable matchups and who will get playing time. Barring an injury or some other coaching surprise, we know where we stand with most offenses and players. As such, it’s important to reiterate who has the best and worst schedules in Weeks 14-16, as that is what will ultimately decide who takes home the championship in your league....

The byes make it tougher to trade, as savvy owners are constantly trying to juke the schedule by trading for a player who’s already been on a bye while giving up a player that hasn’t. Savvier owners will refuse to do that, so you’re often at a stalemate. If you have a solid record and good depth, don’t be afraid to take on a player who’s yet to be idle....

We’ve rounded up the latest news after Sunday’s action. MORE: Week 2 waiver wire pickups | RB handcuff chart Will David Johnson play in Week 2? UPDATE: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is reporting that Johnson will miss an “extended period of time.” Johnson’s wrist injury isn’t bad, but it’s also certainly not good. X-rays were negative for a fractured wrist, and it’s been labeled as a sprained wrist. ESPN reported that Johnson would miss a couple weeks or half the season or more, but a second report by ProFootballTalk said that it may be possible he won’t miss any time....
