Yes, there’s a real driver named (gulp) Dick Trickle, but you can see that Cruise and Towne (and director Tony Scott) are having fun. Towne is a superb screenwriter (“Chinatown,” “Shampoo,” “Tequila Sunrise”). Here, though, with charming impudence, his script is a masterpiece of minimalism–that is, foRmulas, cliches and stereotypes. Trickle is the brash young upstart who vrooms right into the hard-bitten world of stock-car racers. Boy, do they test him....
Diffie was a Grammy award-winning artist and 25-year member of the Grand Ole Opry who was known for his hits in the 1990s like “Pickup Man,” “John Deere Green” and “Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox.” His death brought out a swarm of remembrances from music fans and fellow artists through social media. Charlie Daniels tweeted, “Just got word that Joe Diffie has passed away… Sincere condolences to his family....
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who has already announced he’ll turn pro following this season, is the projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He’s a national champion, and one of the best quarterback prospects in years. Fans of bad NFL teams know this, and they’re eyeing the QB as they watch their teams fail. It’s too early to know now which team will eventually be bad enough to draft Lawrence, but that hasn’t stopped fans from imagining him in their team’s uniforms....
TRY NBA DRAFTKINGS: Free entry to $50K contest with first deposit! The point guard position is filled with great plays across the board as Derrick Rose is cheap and has been playing amazing basketball recently and John Wall flourishes at home and faces the defensive inept Sixers. The biggest situation to monitor is the Mike Conley injury, because Beno Udrih is practically a must-start if Conley misses his third straight game....
We went all-in on Devon Travis (4) and Mookie Betts (5), got nervous about Jason Kipnis (11), and gave Robinson Cano (1) the benefit of the doubt. As you can guess, none of those four players are ranked in the same spots as last month, and all of their trade values have changed pretty dramatically. MORE SEASON-LONG HELP: SN Fantasy | Fantasy Alarm’s Assistant GM Tool Obviously, ranking players for the rest of the season in June is somewhat of an exercise in futility – injuries, prolonged slumps and hot streaks, and surprise breakouts will happen – but there’s always value in identifying who’s due to improve and cool off....
Who’s Not: Austin Jackson’s OBP dropped by 40 points, which affected all of his 5x5 stats. … Alex Avila had his second straight disappointing year, with his OBP falling by 35 points. … Ian Kinsler’s power kept falling in Texas. He hit 32 homers in 2011, 19 in ‘12 and just 13 last year. Who’s Hurt: A sore left groin seemed to really bother Miguel Cabrera in September and October....
Amed Rosario, Garrett Hampson, and Andres Gimenez all could be 20-plus steals guys, and while none will hit for a high average or have many RBIs, those steals have value. The guys who can hit some homers (Willy Adames, possibly Willi Castro) aren’t quite as notable, but there’s still potential value there if they really break out. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: 2021 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet Overall, shortstop is one of those positions that deep-league fantasy owners always seem to be on the hunt for once the season starts....
GK: David De Gea - Manchester United, £7.7m, owned in 34.11% of teams DEF: Marcos Alonso - Chelsea, £7.6m, owned in 29.19% of teams It feels as though Alonso has had a bit of a disappointing year thus far in Fantasy, yet here he is as the highest scoring defender of both goals (5) and points (114). His attacking threat has obviously always been there, but the recent improvement has definitely been made defensively where Chelsea have kept more clean sheets in the last 10 matches (6) than any other club....

Gonzalo Higuain (Forward, Juventus, Price: 8.2, Ownership: 17%) Despite missing plenty of chances in the first leg against Monaco, Higuain still managed to find the back of the net twice.

FULL RB RANKINGS Stud: Ben Tate, Texans (No. 5). Times are tough in Houston, and we might be seeing the last days of Gary Kubiak’s zone-blocking scheme. Tate, however, should prosper against the Jaguars, who have allowed the most runs of 20 yards or more. Sleeper: Rashad Jennings, Raiders (No. 15). Jennings has the sixth-most fantasy points among running backs the last four weeks, and Tennessee made Donald Brown (No....

Things are no different in 2020, as it’s not hard to find more of these calculated dart throws. Rookies or younger backs behind shaky veterans — see Devin Singletary and Miles Sanders from 2019 — tend to be good sleeper targets. Whether they are potential RB2s or someone deeper in the rankings, it’s all about looking for potential opportunities. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2020 cheat sheet At running back, there also tends to be attrition because of age or injuries, which open up the door for current backups to have bigger roles....
This is a new season, filled with new rookies, new offensive coordinators, new injuries, and new everything else. There are going to be unexpected breakouts and busts, and we know Week 1 will be chock full of surprises. As such, it’s usually best to go with whomever you picked first in your fantasy draft, but if you’re already itching to play matchups or implement a new strategy, our experts have some sleepers and advice for you....
In addition to the Bills, Chargers, and Cowboys, the Jaguars, Vikings, and Steelers are off, so there are massive holes at virtually every fantasy position (with the possible exception of TE). Finding the right sleepers and streamers won’t be easy, especially with the likes of Nick Chubb, George Kittle, Kadarius Toney, and Saquon Barkley dinged up, but we’ll do our best to provide adequate replacements.
