Sam Darnold (@ Dallas) has to eventually look like he did in New York, right? Maybe, but we’re not scared to rank him at QB12 this week. We’ve been somewhat hesitant about ranking him that high, but what if he was just a product of Adam Gase with the Jets? What if he’s the next Ryan Tannehill? Based on what we’ve seen this year, he has to start being respected in fantasy....
It’s strange, right, that we devote so much time and energy to a hobby where the men who ultimately decide the outcome don’t really care about it? Sometimes I wonder if picking ponies would be easier and more rewarding, but jockeys creep me out, so that’s really not an option for me. (Seriously, people always talk about clowns being creepy, but spend a day at a track and tell me how soundly you sleep that night while thinking of 5-foot-2 dudes with high voices and colorful, flowy outfits running around your house....
Let’s be honest, though – if you have Mark Andrews (vs. Falcons in Week 16), T.J. Hockenson (vs. Giants), Pat Freiermuth (vs. Raiders), or George Kittle (vs. Commanders), you’re probably not considering a streamer. Andrews, Hockenson, and Freiermuth have favorable matchups this week, so that makes sense despite recent disappointments, but Kittle is facing off against a Commanders’ defense that entered Week 15 allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to TEs....
Fortunately, TE has a pretty set hierarchy at the top. Travis Kelce (vs. Chargers), Mark Andrews (vs. Dolphins), George Kittle (vs. Seahawks), Kyle Pitts (@ Rams), and Darren Waller (vs. Cardinals) are untouchable when healthy. After that, though, things get tougher, especially with Kittle (groin) getting a dinged up last week in practice and likely being “questionable” for this week. WEEK 2 PPR RANKINGS:QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kicker...
Again, our full free agent list doesn’t inspire many quick-fixes for those in need of immediate help. There are plenty of decent Week 7 streamers, including some QBs (Daniel Jones), WRs (Dante Pettis), TEs (Darren Fells), and D/STs (Giants), as well as some stashes who could pay off down the road (Mark Walton, Duke Williams). The D/ST streamers for Week 7 are at the end of the list. If you’re in the market for a new kicker or just want to waste even more time before going back to work, check out our Week 7 kicker rankings....

It’s not just high style that has custom-shirt makers doing a booming business in this lousy economy. When business casual temporarily banished the blue business suit, the dress shirt remained an essential wardrobe piece and even gained importance with more exposure. Now more financial types are returning to tailors, responding to the reversal of dress-down office policies. Simon Hobbs, manager of Turnbull & Asser’s New York store, points to what might be called the Pink Effect....
The NHTSA is looking into the May 5 crash in Fontana that killed the 35-year-old male driver of a Tesla Model 3 that struck an overturned semi on the freeway at around 2:30 a.m. The car was operating on Tesla’s partially automated driving system called Autopilot, California Highway Patrol (CHP) said. “While the CHP does not normally comment on ongoing investigations, the Department recognizes the high level of interest centered around crashes involving Tesla vehicles,” the agency said in a statement....
Several of the more than 2,200 passengers aboard, around 600 of whom are reported to be American, have been pleading for help in messages to President Donald Trump on social media. The father of one passenger urged the president to intervene, saying that his daughter required an ultrasound scan. MS Westerdam, a cruise ship from the Holland America Line (a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation) has been unable to dock in at least four countries since February 1, where it reportedly picked up around 600 new passengers....
Trump shared an edited version of the footage that went viral last year of a black and white child running towards each other in the street and hugging, taken by Michael Cisneros. In the altered version, a section where the black child is running from the white child is selected. It has a mocked-up CNN chyron displayed over the screen, which includes the terrified toddler caption before switching to say “racist baby probably a Trump voter....
Fauci made the remarks after the U.S. set a new record of more than 60,000 new coronavirus cases in a day, with states in the south and west hardest hit. The U.S. continues to be the country with the most confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University, at over 3 million of more than 12 million global cases. It also leads in deaths, and over 132,000 of the 549,508 worldwide....
“It is clear to me based on numerous credible whistleblower disclosures that the FBI cannot be trusted with the handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Johnson wrote to Horowitz in the letter dated August 24. “I hope you understand that the longer your office stands on the sidelines and delays investigating the FBI’s actions, the harder it will be for you to uncover the truth and hold individuals accountable for wrongdoing....
Along with watching the LaLiga clash, he will also visit the training grounds of both the clubs while taking in the sights of the city of Sevilla. “I am thrilled to be associated with LaLiga, having been an avid fan of football since childhood. It is a dream come true to watch my favourite sport in the country that is so passionate about it. LaLiga is one of the best football leagues in the world and it’s great to see them so invested in our country and towards Indian fans,” the actor said on the association....
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the “AFib History” feature in the upcoming watchOS 9 update, allowing it to be used by users aged 22 and above who have been diagnosed with AFib. The new feature can estimate how frequently the wearer was in AFib and produce a weekly report that can be shared with a healthcare provider. The watchOS 9 update is set to be released in the fall of 2022....

What Is Fear of Falling? The fear of falling is an excessive concern of losing stability, falling to the ground, and suffering injury. An incident may trigger this emotion, but many seniors live with such fear even though they’ve never fallen....
The answer, in a word, is fear. IBM is terrified that it will be in mortal peril unless it can get its hands on Lotus Notes. Notes, for the nontechies among us, allows people at personal computers all over the world to link with each other quickly and easily. Think of it as e-mail with steroids (page 50). Linked PCs, the techies tell us, is the next big computer wave....
Key figures Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Robert Redfield, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Stephen Hahn, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration have all taken isolation measures. This comes after concerns over potential exposure, with three White House staff members having contracted COVID-19. Former Barack Obama adviser David Plouffe spoke of the potential for spread in the White House, raising worries over the ability to social distance within its walls....
Florida, the top overall seed, returns to the Final Four for the first time since winning consecutive titles in 2006-07, this time without all those first-round NBA picks. Waiting for the Gators at Jerry Jones' billion-dollar stadium on Saturday will be Connecticut, back near the top of the bracket under Kevin Ollie after being barred a year ago for academic problems. Wisconsin and coach Bo Ryan will be there, too, finally in the Final Four after so many near-misses....
The state Supreme Court said on Thursday that school districts can require masks without violating the state ban if they can find a way to avoid spending state money to enforce wearing face coverings. However, the U.S. District Court’s ruling on Tuesday trumps the state court, so its decision allowing school districts to require masks is binding, the AP said. South Carolina education officials immediately sent out a memo telling districts that the state court’s decision wouldn’t change anything....
