WEEK 4 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Rob Gronkowski injury update UPDATE: Gronk was once again not a participant in Thursday’s practice....

We’ll highlight the top fantasy football injuries in Week 4 and give you updated reports and our best guess as to whether they’ll play. For owners of Marshawn Lynch, Arian Foster, DeMarco Murray, Chris Ivory, or even Jonathan Stewart — we’ve got you covered. Week 4 fantasy football rankings: Quarterbacks | Running backs | Wide receivers | Tight ends | Defenses Marshawn Lynch injury update Lynch was questionable to play last week and when owners saw him as active they got excited....

Our full free agent list features plenty of other live bodies who could help next week and beyond (Demarcus Robinson, Treylon Burks, James Cook, Darius Slayton, Greg Dortch, Skyy Moore, Juwan Johnson). And even though streamers might not be in high demand this week with every team in action, we still have plenty of one-week recommendations at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST. They’re grouped by position and can be found at the end of this list....

Yeah…yuck. Our full free agent list features even more of these types of players, many of whom land somewhere between one-week streamers and potential multi-week contributors. There are also plenty of under-owned guys who we’ve seemingly recommended picking up all season because of volume or mid-tier production (Mark Ingram, Michael Carter, Tim Patrick, Christian Kirk) who are more likely to get “cleaned up” this week. Of course, given the heavy dose of idle players, we also have plenty of Week 7-specific streamer suggestions at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST, which can be found at the end of this list....

Just four teams are on bye in Week 7 like there were last week, but this week’s idle teams will have a much bigger impact on the fantasy landscape. With the Bills, Eagles, Vikings, and Rams on bye, there are almost too many potential contributors to name. Not being able to bank on a big game from Cooper Kupp, Justin Jefferson, A.J. Brown, and Stefon Diggs is going to sting for their respective owners, but even losing guys like DeVonta Smith, Gabriel Davis, and Adam Thielen can thin out depth....

Over the last few weeks, we have looked at hitters who will crush baseballs into the cheap seats. This week, we’ll change gears and look at rookies and prospects who could impact the game with their legs. Byron Buxton, OF, Twins (Age: 21) Speed Grade: 80; SB Per 150 Games: 53 Amazingly, this is the first time I’ve mentioned the best prospect in baseball in an article. The reason for that is, by omission, I wanted to make clear that I do not expect him to be in the majors in 2015....

The tension is perhaps most evident in the recent disagreement between the state’s Republican Governor Brad Little and its Republican Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin. Even though Idaho doesn’t have a statewide mask mandate, on May 27, McGeachin banned any school districts and municipalities from requiring masks. McGeachin did this when Little was out of town. She had been deputized in his absence. Little, who has encouraged state residents to wear masks to slow COVID-19’s spread, repealed McGeachin’s ban the very next day....

Woods’ score was a stroke better than the 71 he shot in Round 2 and two better than his 72 in Round 1. He is 3 under for the tournament. A clutch short game saved Tiger throughout his third round as he struggled to stay on the fairway. He made it onto only three fairways and nine greens. Alex Noren rose to the top of the leaderboard in Round 3....

This week will see the return of 2020 Farmers Insurance winner Marc Leishman as he tries to win the event for the second time in his career. If he achieves that feat, he would be the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2005-08) to earn consecutive tournament victories. Speaking of which: Tiger will not be in attendance at the event — neither will several top-tier golfers — as he recovers from recent back surgery....

Why now? In no way do I want my parody to trivialize the situation we’re in. It becomes much less funny. You work with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee? Yes, only in America could a nice Jewish boy get paid to make fun of Saddam. When did you first notice the resemblance? A picture appeared in the L.A. Times of Saddam in 1989. The sergeant-at-arms of the California Senate, where I worked, posted it with a caption, “Now we know what Haleva does on weekends....

Two days before the Nov. 12 rally, the operative—who agreed to speak to NEWSWEEK only if his name were withheld—swept through the coastal strip collecting yellow Fatah flags and kaffiyehs from friends and neighbors to hand out to the crowd. When the day arrived, a handful of Fatah supporters in the 250,000-strong crowd did their best to provoke the Hamas troops that had ringed the sandlot in pickup trucks, armed with Kalashnikovs....

Daryl Johnson, 50, of St. Ansgar, Iowa, and his son, Daniel Johnson, 29, of Austin, Minnesota, were charged with four federal crimes earlier this month. The charges are entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. In the indictment charging both men, prosecutors said they were led to the Johnsons after multiple people tipped off officials about social media messages from Daniel that bragged, “We stormed capitol hill” and “Lol Dad and I were one of the first ones inside....

The incident took place in Moradabad’s Surajnagar village in India. The father, Madanpal Singh, had decided to take the morning to deliver the last of his 19-year-old daughter’s wedding invitations in a nearby village, as the wedding was only five days away, according to the outlet. Singh was back in his own village of Surajnagar to grab a quick lunch at home before delivering the last batch of invitations, according to the outlet, when he noticed a group of people gathered around a body in the road....

Dmitry Shkrebets, 43, has led a campaign to find out the circumstances of the fate of the vessel and its crew on April 13. His son, Yegor Shkrebets, 20, was a cook and a conscript on guided-missile cruiser Moskva when it was reportedly struck. Ukraine got a public relations coup after it said it hit the vessel with Neptune missiles, killing as many as 250 sailors. Russia denied that, saying the vessel sank after a fire on board detonated ammunition....

Khalil Ahmed, 48, said he was on a bonding exercise with his son Sami, 15, on June 10 when their day out into turned into a nightmare in the scenic Lake District in England’s northwest. The father-of-four said he had earlier climbed local peak “The Old Man of Coniston” with Sami and several of his cousins and uncles. But the teen, who was 10 minutes ahead of him and walking with his cousins, reportedly chose to descend down a “dangerous” section of terrain alone when he lost his footing and fell 35 meters (approximately 120 feet) to his death....

Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) became a household name two years ago due to his role in directing the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He often clashed with the Trump administration, generally offering cautionary words about rising cases of the virus while the president tended to place a focus on returning the country to normality as fast as possible. Disagreements spiraled into calls for Trump to “fire Fauci” amongst Trump’s right-wing supporters, while the infectious disease expert also clashed multiple times with Republican Senator Rand Paul....

The January 2 phone call, audio of which was originally obtained by The Washington Post, featured pleas from the president for Raffensperger to “find” more than 11,000 votes cast for Trump. The specific number of votes Trump requested—11,780—would give him one more vote than President-elect Joe Biden received in the state. Representatives Ted Lieu of California and Kathleen Rice of New York announced on Monday they sent a criminal referral to FBI Director Christopher Wray in response to the leaked phone call....

Authorities said they have already arrested more than 65 people accused of assaulting police officers during the insurrection in Washington, D.C. The FBI added that some of the “most violent offenders” have yet to be identified, and are now appealing for the public’s help in identifying 10 more. Five people, including Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, died during the violence in the nation’s capital. “The FBI is asking for the public’s help in identifying 10 individuals suspected of being involved in some of the most violent attacks on officers who were protecting the U....
