Nonetheless, as we do every week this season with the help of our friends at Fantasy Alarm, we’ll break down the top pickups and project how much of your FAAB budget you should bid on them, at least in normal circumstances. If you feel the need to bid 100 percent of your budget on a specific player, go for it. The projected bids below are just to give you a sense of a player’s general value....
As is often the case early in the year, we mostly have our eye on pass-catchers, as guys like Mack Hollins, DeVante Parker, Tre’Quan Smith, and Josh Reynolds are coming off big games have plenty of short-term and long-term upside. There are plenty of receivers (does anyone want Greg Dortch?), a few tight ends (Tyler Conklin, anyone?) and one soon-to-be starting QB (free Kenny!) on our full free agent list....
Our full free agent list includes several more WR3 types (Rashard Higgins, Greg Ward Jr., Marquez Callaway, Corey Davis, Tim Patrick), as well as some potential starting TEs (Dallas Goedert, Harrison Bryant) and a ton of Week 8 streaming possibilities at quarterback, wide receiver, tight end, and defense, which you can find at the end of this list. You can also find kicker replacements with the help of our Week 8 kicker rankings....
As always, there are several receivers who shine more in PPR leagues. JuJu Smith Schuster and Diontae Johnson had seven and 12 targets, respectively, in Week 2 and will remain solid PPR options vs. the Bengals. However, Johnson injured his knee on the final play of Week 2, so we’ll have to watch that moving forward. If he’s out, James Washington would become an interesting flex option in PPR. (Update: Johnson is out....

MORE: Get FantasyAlarm.com’s Draft Guide Arizona Diamondbacks Catcher Well, so much for everyone’s senselessly overhyped sleeper pick of Peter O’Brien, huh? After 13 spring games and 28 at-bats, the Diamondbacks realized that O’Brien just wasn’t ready to shoulder any sort of a major league load right now. His defense was average for spring, and he hit just .250 with just two RBIs and half a dozen whiffs. Unfortunately, though, the team doesn’t have much in the way of alternatives either....
Tiger picked up three birdies and three bogeys along the way, and he nearly aced No. 16 as you’ll see below. He’ll need more consistency Friday in Round 2 if he’s going to make the cut. Woods, who is grouped with Charley Hoffman and Patrick Reed, is scheduled to tee off at 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday from tee No. 10 on the North Course. MORE: TV execs win big with Tiger’s return...
How’s that high-tech, ceramic hip of yours feeling? It’s fine. If the rest of my body felt like my hip I’d be out training for the Olympics. Before I got it I really couldn’t play golf because I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t go shopping with my wife because I had to sit down every 30 yards. It seems like a lot of middle-aged people just ignore their aches and pains....
I was drawn to their ideology. They were hardworking and believed in opportunity and idealism, things we regard as traditional American values. I read the amazing letters they wrote to their children from prison, and I thought theirs was a story that everyone should know. Unfortunately, not very much. Now that Italians are a successfully assimilated group, it’s easy to forget that there was a tremendous amount of hostility aimed against them when they arrived, and with new immigrant groups, the pattern of our nation not being welcoming continues to recur....

“I should have gotten the damn vaccine,” Michael Freedy said in a text message, according to Fox 5 in Las Vegas. Freedy’s fiancée, Jessica DuPreez, told the television station that after taking a vacation in San Diego two weeks ago, Freedy, a casino worker, returned with what he thought was a sunburn but then tested positive for COVID-19. “He is only 39. Our babies now don’t have a dad. You can’t say, ‘I am young, and it won’t affect me,’ because it will,” DuPreez told the television station....
Hundreds of pages of Fauci’s emails have been revealed under the Freedom of Information Act. They show the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) dealing with a variety of queries and issues. BuzzFeed News obtained more than 3,200 pages of emails that have been made available online, while The Washington Post received more than 860 pages, some of which are also available to read....
Fauci told members of the Senate Health Committee on Tuesday that researchers were studying multiple vaccines for a new coronavirus that has infected more than 1.3 million people in the United States. While having a vaccine would ease minds about reopening schools in fall, it’s unrealistic to base decisions on an inoculation. “In terms of this case the idea of having treatments available or a vaccine to facilitate the reentry of students into the fall term would be something that would be a bit of a bridge too far,” Fauci said....
“The North Port Police Department, FBI, and agency partners are currently conducting a search of the vast Carlton Reserve for Brian Laundrie. His family says they believe he entered the area earlier this week. More details when available,” Florida’s North Port Police Department tweeted just after 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. The Carlton Reserve is a 24,565-acre area in Venice, Florida, with over 90 miles of trails, according to a website run by the Friends of the Carlton Reserve....
However, the French-born has indicated the significance for the Gaurs to win the cup tournament in liue of them finishing as semi-finalists in the fourth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) where they lost to eventual champions Chennaiyin FC. “It’s important (for FC Goa to win the Super Cup) because of the confidence we have in ourselves after a very good season (in the ISL). Even if we didn’t win the (Indian) Super League, it would be very nice to win this cup (Super Cup),” he mentioned to Goal....
The FDA also authorized the use of “mix-and-match” booster shots for currently available COVID-19 vaccines. This allows people to get a single booster dose of a different vaccine than the one they originally received. For example, a person who received an initial Johnson & Johnson vaccine may receive a dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for their second shot. Guidelines were released by the FDA for the distribution and use of booster vaccines by various at-risk groups, mainly including the elderly and those with significant pre-existing conditions....
“With the availability of two vaccines now for the prevention of COVID-19, the FDA has taken another crucial step in the fight against this global pandemic that is causing vast numbers of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States each day,” FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, MD, said in a statement. An advisory panel to the FDA voted Thursday to recommend that Moderna’s vaccine be authorized. The panel, called the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), voted 20 in favor of the recommendation, with one abstention....
The article was published after a November 13 memo penned by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), calling on the agency to prioritize releasing the guidance. The law gave the FDA three years to propose regulations that would govern OTC hearing for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing impairment. The rules were not released and the FDA cited interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A Message To the FDA “As medical providers, we fully appreciate the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on all sectors of health care....
