As usual, the top studs are still near the top, but guys with “favorable matchups” are also moving up slightly. We always caution against relying too much on defensive stats at this position, but Randy Bullock (vs. Texans), Dustin Hopkins (vs. Steelers), Zane Gonzalez (vs. Washington), Chase McLaughlin (vs. Lions), and Chris Boswell (@ Chargers) all should get an extra opportunity or two based on the numbers. All can be round in our top 14 this week, too....

Of course, injuries will always rear their ugly heads, and Week 1 unfortunately saw some prominent running backs go down in addition to others who never even suited up at all. Stud Steelers RB Najee Harris got rolled up awkwardly by a gang of Bengals tacklers and exited early because of a foot injury. It was later reported the injury is “not a big deal,” but we’ll monitor Harris all week....

Unlike running back and even occasionally wide receivers, injuries to tight ends don’t always result in the emergence of a new sleeper. It can happen (see Foster Moreau and Isaiah Likely), but when must-starts like Dallas Goedert (shoulder) and Zach Ertz (knee) go down, it takes a while before fantasy owners can trust their replacements. The same is true if Gerald Everett (groin) and Kyle Pitts (knee) are out this week....

It helps that having the Panthers and Cardinals on bye doesn’t really affect us. Trey McBride has some sleeper potential while Ertz is out, but he’s far from a safe starting option right now. Unfortunately, we lose Arizona’s league-worst TE defense, but there are still plenty of matchups to exploit. Most of the best matchups this week go to guys who aren’t considered “must starts.” Tyler Higbee (vs. Seahawks in Week 13) is in the best available situation, and Evan Engram (vs....

Charcandrick West, Jarvis Landry, Travis Kelce, Michael Floyd and others are also on watch for Week 12, so let’s check out the latest injury updates. Make sure to track the inactive/active lists before setting your season-long and daily fantasy football lineups. Week 12 fantasy football rankings:Quarterbacks | Running backs | Wide receivers | Tight ends | Defenses | Kickers Charcandrick West likely out, Spencer Ware to start All signs point to West (hamstring) sitting out Week 12’s game against the Bills, according to various reports....

Week 4 will be no different as there are plenty of fantasy relevant wideouts dealing with injuries who may miss time. Coaches like to wait until the last possible minute to tell us whether a player will be active, so we have to decipher through practice and anonymous sources throughout the week.

Let’s look at the fantasy updates on these injured receivers to see who might be on the field in Week 1, and who should be on fantasy benches. MORE: Week 1 fantasy WR rankings | Quarterbacks | Running backs | Tight ends | Defenses | Kickers Mike Evans injury update Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, though it was just a walk-through session. Fantasy owners will have to pay close attention to Evans’ status this weekend, as he’s likely to be a true game-time decision on Sunday....

The Patrick Mahomes injury is going to toy with a lot of owners over the next few weeks, but there are solid short-and-long-term options on waivers to fill the void. There are also a few great D/ST streamers and some tight ends worth noting that are making their debuts this week, so be sure to read up on every little waiver add. Best of luck in Week 8.

Before we get into that, we should remind you that our full free agent list features the players mentioned above as well as several Week 13 streamers. Again, you might have to do whatever it takes to get as many points as possible this week, and if that means gambling on a streamer this week, we have suggestions for you at every position, including tight end and defense, all of which can be found at the end of the list....

These players and more populate our full free agent list. Again, it’s not the most exciting week, but there are some interesting bench pieces who can give you depth and possibly break out as the season goes on. We even have a few Week 3-specific streamers, including more than initially anticipated at QB and D/ST. There’s only one TE, but given the sorry state of that position this year, that’s not a surprise....

Our full free agent list has even more of these types of players, including the recently reinstated Josh Gordon. Again, these are mostly free agent pickups, so don’t get too excited. We do have some Week 4-specific streamers, including a few QBs, several TEs, and a bunch of D/STs (which will be important this week). You can find the streamer suggestions at the end of the list. If you need a new kicker or simply want to see a picture of Matt Gay and that guy who kicks for the Buccaneers, whatever the hell his name is, you can check out our Week 4 kicker rankings....

Pepsi’s retreat isn’t drawing applause this time-at least not from an extraordinary group of African-Americans. Houston was only one of perhaps dozens of prominent, prosperous blacks and institutions who invested $15 million to $20 million in New Age Beverages, the South African soft-drink company of which 25 percent is owned by Pepsi. Among them: basketball star Shaquille O’Neal; Earl G. Graves, publisher of Black Enterprise magazine, and Hampton University. The group offered an aura of high-profile celebrity that Coke couldn’t match and New Age hoped to translate into a marketing advantage....

Don’t rule it out, coach Pete Carroll told Seattle’s KIRO Radio 97.3 FM on Friday. Wideout was Sherman’s original college position. He became a cornerback in his final two seasons before rising to elite status with the Seahawks.

Speaking to Newsweek, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and member of the White House COVID-19 task force said: “I think the decreases are going to start as we get into April and as more of the general population gets vaccinated. “Then as you get to May, June and July, towards the end of the second quarter of 2021, I think you’re going to start seeing some dramatic changes as we go into the third quarter....

The coronavirus that killed the miners in 2012 is the closest known relative to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. On Thursday, Fauci called for China to release the medical records of the miners, as well as the records of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers who the Wall Street Journal reported last month fell ill with an unknown COVID-like illness in November 2019. “I would like to see the medical records of the three people who are reported to have got sick in 2019,” Fauci told the Financial Times....

“We gotta make that transition. If you are vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask outside,” Fauci told CBS News’ Gayle King on Thursday morning. “We’re a very unusual situation. If you are going into a completely crowded situation, where people are falling all over each other, then you wear a mask. But any other time, if you’re vaccinated and you’re outside, put aside your mask. You don’t have to wear it....
