While it was more than enough to get some fans excited for the video game’s big-screen translation, there were also some folks who were less than enthused that Holland was cast over actor Nathan Fillion. Aside from the fact that Fillion shares the same first name as the character, the actor actually looks incredibly similar to Nathan Drake. Some people also feel that Holland’s casting is off because, in their eyes, he’s just too young to play the older action hero—Fillion, on the other hand, would’ve been more age appropriate....

It was announced on Wednesday that the 19-year-old R&B singer has been selected by the movie’s director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Mary Poppins Returns) to play the role. “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance—plus a glorious singing voice—all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role,” said Marshall in a statement. The Chloe X Halle member joins a cast that already includes Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina....

It was teenage time at the world-famous Chicago Symphony Orchestra, an idea not nearly as incongruous as it sounds. As part of its annual series of youth concerts, the CSO performed works composed by local young people. Along with Carter’s “Adagio,” “Inspirations” by John Orfe and Jeff Letterly’s “Green-Gold” received full-dress treatment. The three pieces were the first fruits of the Young Composers Project, an idea spawned by John Corigliano, 53, the CSO’s first composer-in-residence....

It's understandable if fantasy baseball owners are getting excited for Yoon's arrival considering the recent success of other pitching imports from Aroldis Chapman (Cuba) to Yu Darvish (Japan) to Hyun-jin Ryu (Korea), not to mention the hoopla this offseason around the Yankees signing Mahahiro Tanaka (Japan). But fantasy owners should temper their expectations for Yoon. He doesn't have Chapman's blazing fastball. Yoon, 27, sits around 91-92 mph, occasionally hitting 93....

Make no mistake, some of the players on the list below could be total busts. That’s the case with a lot of sleepers, especially at a position like catcher where players don’t play every day and generally contribute in three categories, at most. At the very least, expect to see the players on this list pop up for at least a couple weeks at a time with hot streaks during the season....

Yet Boston must have seen enough to give the 31-year-old outfielder a chance. There was a time when Sizemore was a first-round fantasy pick, a time when he averaged close to 27 homers and 29 stolen bases from 2005-08, a time when it was a big deal to have Sizemore come play baseball in your backyard.

With that being said, there will be no possible trade targets attached this week, seeing as none of these players would carry much trade value in redraft leagues.

Plesac didn’t have a whole lot of hype around his call-up on May 28 (most 12th-round picks don’t), but he was pitching really well in the minors and it has carried right over into the bigs in his first two starts....

It’s obviously another damaging blow to his fantasy value – Welker falls all the way to No. 40 in our preseason WR rankings – but here’s something that will hurt Welker owners even more: According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, the Broncos “have known about Welker’s suspension” since before training camp and were “holding out hope” it would be turned over on appeal. In other words, fantasy owners could have avoided Welker, who already came with concussion worries, altogether....

Players such as D’Andre Swift and Elijah Moore obviously exceeded their ADPs mightily when they were on the field, but they were absent for large portions of the season, especially when it really mattered, so that keeps them off our list. There are also players like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Rashaad Penny who didn’t emerge until very late in the season, so while they helped “win leagues,” they didn’t really help anyone make it to the playoffs....
