WEEK 14 FANTASY: Sleepers | Busts | Start ’em, sit ’em Elijah Mitchell injury update UPDATE: Mitchell was not spotted at practice Thursday. UPDATE 2: Mitchell is officially OUT for Sunday. Mitchell (knee, head) didn’t practice Wednesday and underwent an MRI on his knee in the middle of the week....

UPDATE 9/28: Gordon is expected to be on a “limited” snap count against Miami, according to USA Today’s Mike Jones. Even limited touches against the Dolphins can yield legit fantasy results, but Gordon would still be a risky fantasy option in Week 4. UPDATE: 9/29: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Gordon will only play in an “emergency” in Week 4, but he will be active. Whether or not Gordon is active, Ekeler is a must-start in Week 4 against the Dolphins’ terrible defense....

Let’s start with who’s missing. Mike Gesicki, Noah Fant and Will Dissly, Cade Otton, and Evan Engram are all taking a week of mandatory PTO. Engram will likely be missed the most, but as we said before, none of these guys are “must-starts.” Darren Waller (hamstring) has also mercifully been placed on the IR, so we don’t have to worry about him again until Week 14 at the earliest. We’ll keep our eye on Zach Ertz (knee), Mark Andrews (shoulder, knee), and David Njoku (ankle)....

Uzomah, and Michael Gallup, but most of the value can be found at the end of the list where we feature a host of potential Week 8 streamers at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST. Also, if you’re wondering whether you should drop Justin Tucker during his bye week, you can get the answer and find a replacement with the help of our Week 8 kicker rankings....

Big night in the NBA with 11 games on tap for Wednesday night. You’re going to want to get at least one stud player in your lineup today. Good thing there are great value plays at every position. If Carmelo Anthony sits out, than that would open up a lot of things for some incredible value plays for the Knicks. Russell Westbrook and James Harden are the top plays tonight....

A few notes on tonight’s playbook: *I BOLDED some players who are better plays on a particular site. *Expect some fireworks at Coors Field. *I don’t have much exposure to the Tigers tonight despite the seemingly favorable matchup with CC Sabathia. Sabathia has pitched better this season despite the numbers and just couldn’t fit some of them in. They are not bad plays, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them quiet tonight....

Two dishy new books by veteran fashion journalists help explain why news from the runway has become increasingly irrelevant. In The End of Fashion: The Mass Marketing of the Clothing Business(William Morrow. $25), Wall Street Journal writer Teri Agins describes how creative wunderkinder like Isaac Mizrahi were forced out of business because they didn’t market to the mainstream consumer and how designers like Ralph Lauren made billions by selling us what amounted to a snazzy pair of khakis....

It was a day to forget for head coach Vincenzo Montella and Milan, who were well below their best in a 2-0 loss away from home in Serie A. Milan 7/1 to win Europa League Duvan Zapata and substitute Ricky Alvarez condemned Milan to their second loss of the season, having been humbled 4-1 by Lazio earlier in September. After a drastic and expensive overhaul of the squad during the off-season, which saw the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Lucas Biglia, Andre Silva and Hakan Calhanoglu arrive at San Siro among others, Fassone said he expects much more, with Milan already six points behind reigning champions Juventus and Napoli....

Quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Daniel Jones and Jalen Hurts have helped re-shape how people evaluate the position in recent years. They, along with 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson, have flashed both the standout arm talent needed to play quarterback in this era of gaudy passing numbers and shown the mobility that makes them a thorn in the side of defenses. Not all of these quarterbacks have the same running style. Of the five quarterbacks with 1,000-plus rushing yards over the past two years, only two have a 40 time below 4....

Fauci made an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, where host Jake Tapper pressed the leading infectious disease expert on where he believes the pandemic is headed. Tapper asked, “Do you expect new record high numbers for cases? And what about hospitalizations and deaths?” “Yes, well, unfortunately, Jake, I think that that is going to happen,” Fauci replied. “We are going to see a significant stress in some regions of the country on the hospital system, particularly in those areas where you have a low level of vaccination, which is one of the reasons why we continue to stress the importance of getting those unvaccinated people vaccinated....

Omicron, a highly-infectious variant, is fueling massive spikes in COVID-19 cases, sparking concerns about the possibility for an increased strain on health care systems. Despite the rise in cases and expectations infections will continue to rise, lawmakers at varying levels, including the White House, have bucked the idea of shutting down. Fauci told News Nation Now on Thursday that it would be “very, very difficult” to shut down given the “mood of the country....

During the CNN segment, network anchorperson Anderson Cooper asked Dr. Fauci, “Knowing the science, does it make sense to you that some states are still not issuing stay at home orders?” While asking the question, the screen showed a map of which U.S. states have yet to issue such orders. The states include Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. Cooper continued, “Whether there should be a federally mandated directive for that or not, I guess that’s more of a political question, but just scientifically, doesn’t everybody have to be on the same page with this stuff?...

A Trump campaign video that aired Friday showed Fauci saying “I can’t imagine that anybody could be doing more” in a way that made it appear as if he was commenting on the president’s approach to the pandemic. Responding to the video on Sunday, Fauci told CNN that his comments were attributed to him without his permission, and taken out of context from a broad statement he made “months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials....

His comments preceded the release of a study suggesting the flu shot is not only useful for preventing the respiratory illness, but could also reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. In an interview withMarketWatch, personal-finance editor Quentin Fottrell asked Fauci how concerned he was that the U.S. will face a flu season and a rise in coronavirus cases in the coming fall or winter. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said although he hoped it wouldn’t be the case, if there was “significant COVID-19 activity” going into the fall and winter “that will be problematic and complicate things because that’s two respiratory infections circulating together....

His remarks come as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization to Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose coronavirus vaccine Saturday, the first one-shot vaccination of its kind. With three separate COVID-19 vaccines now available as many areas of the country are struggling to distribute the doses, Fauci told Americans all three are “highly efficacious vaccines, that’s the bottom line.” Perhaps pushing back on social media comparisons and Saturday Night Live’s “So You Think You Can Get a Vaccine” skit overnight, Fauci reiterated that all three vaccinations should help Americans equally....
