In a statement released through the Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato, the family of 24-year-old Isaac Kolstad said he required emergency surgery Tuesday morning to relieve swelling on his brain that had increased the pressure within his skull to life-threatening levels. "Isaac had a significant amount of his brain tissue that was no longer viable removed during that procedure," the family's statement said. Police had already said that Kolstad's lungs sustained severe injury as a result of a lack of oxygen after the attack, in addition to a skull fracture and brain damage....

If there’s one player you should know in this game, it’s Buffalo senior LB Khalil Mack. He’s a projected top-10 pick next spring in the NFL draft in our latest mock draft. He’s big and bad. He recorded 94 tackles this season, 19 tackles for loss and 10....

During the first half of No. 9 Villanova's home game against St. John's a man in his 50s was ejected from the arena for throwing a slice of pizza at an usher. Yeah. I don't even want to know what has to happen in order to top this. (If you come across video of the pizza-throwing incident, feel free to pass it along)

During Saturday’s European Qualifiers game between Armenia and Portugal, the match took a break when a fan ran onto the pitch. Surprisingly, he managed to get around several security guards before finally being tackled.

The Heat star shared this photo on Wednesday morning. And that comes roughly two months after someone ran up to Shane Battier and shared the hairiest LeBron thigh tattoo ever. But kudos to LeBron for seemingly handling all this stuff with grace and even getting a nice plug for his wife's new juice bar, The Juice Spot, in there in the process.

Before we break down our picks, here are the most notable scoring rules for FanDuel contests: four-point passing TDs and half-point PPR. WEEK 2 DFS: Best values | Best stacks FanDuel Picks Week 2: NFL DFS lineup for GPP tournaments Sunday main slate, $60,000 budget QB Russell Wilson, Broncos vs. Texans ($7,500). The veteran quarterback is surprisingly $1,000 cheaper than the highest-priced quarterback (Kyler Murray).

This week, we went after a low-ownership Browns stack at QB and WR that could be risky, but also could be a major win if all things go right. The rest of our strategy was to target upper-tier, high-volume receivers that should be able to succeed in easier matchups, and to grab a couple of potential lead backs to supplement that production.

We’re hoping ownership is low for the Chargers, who will be playing in their third straight road game and could face bad weather. If the forecast is too ugly, we’ll make some pivots, but for now, we’re willing to take advantage of low prices for Philip Rivers and his receivers. Because of the Bolts bargains, we’re able to to jam in two stud RBs and a stud TE, which is a luxury not everyone can afford....

Of course, it’s difficult to hit on the right late-round gems, so having multiple targets is important. There are plenty of interesting options this year, including two who steal some bases and are expected to play other positions (Daulton Varsho and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa). There are also two notable bounce-back options (Tom Murphy and Omar Narvaez) and three youngers who have some breakout appeal (Joey Bart, Ryan Jeffers, Alejandro Kirk). DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: 2021 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet...

Without further ado, let’s dive in! Interested in sports betting? Tell us what YOU want from a mobile sportsbook Fantasy Baseball Trade Value: Stock rising Jordan Yamamoto, SP, Marlins. Yamamoto was a 12th-round pick and was ranked as the No. 17 prospect in Miami’s organization, so when he got called up there wasn’t a whole lot of excitement in the fantasy community. However, he has been fantastic in his first three starts in the bigs (19 IP), compiling a 0....

Even with that said, there are still a few matchup-based plays available this week; unfortunately, most aren’t particularly good defenses. The Eagles (vs. Saints) are likely the best widely available defensive unit, but Trevor Siemian and the Saints are still playing fairly efficiently, so the matchup, at least on paper, isn’t overly appealing. The 49ers (@ Jaguars), Dolphins (@ Jets), and Washington (@ Panthers) are also in pretty good spots, but all present risks given their level of play this year....

GK: Fraser Forster - Southampton - 1 Game, 6 Saves, 1 Clean Sheet = 10 Points DF: Ciaran Clark - Newcastle - 1 Game, 1 Goal, 1 Clean Sheet = 14 Points So, did you expect Ciaran Clark to be the Player of the Week?

Knowshon Moreno has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and is out for the season. Bengals RB Giovani Bernard was forced out of the game with a right shoulder injury. UPDATE: Bernard returned to the field and was able to handle several touches in the fourth quarter and overtime. Lions RB Theo Riddick left with a hamstring injury and is doubtful to return. UPDATE: Riddick aggravated his previous hamstring injury, so consider him questionable for Week 7....

Auction drafts add spice and flavor to an otherwise bland meal. They allow you to get a combination of players that a snake draft could never allow. Are you a die-hard Steelers fan? Then drop a stack of bills on Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell. An Alabama homer? Spend a hundo on Julio Jones and Amari Cooper. I wouldn’t recommend it, but the possibility is there. In a way, that’s part of what makes auctions more fair than snake drafts, where inevitably some lucky owners have too-good players fall into their laps....
