While a tough matchup could eventually result in a rankings drop for Kelce and Andrews, they’re more than likely going to sit at Nos. 1 and 2 in our TE rankings throughout the duration of the season. For the remaining tight ends, their rankings will fluctuate more based on who they’re playing on a week-to-week basis. Once you get outside the top 12, it’s tough to find a reliable TE who can turn into an every-week starter....

MORE WEEK 2: Top waiver pickups | FAAB budget planner | Buy-low, sell-high Fantasy Football Outlook: Should you drop Brandon Aiyuk? Update 9/: Kyle Shanahan’s latest comments regarding Aiyuk’s situation are less than promising. He basically said Aiyuk needs to be a lot better than Trent Sherfield to earn more snaps. It’s obvious he didn’t have a good offseason and is in a reduced role until further notice....

Bryant, Jackson, and Hilton aren’t the only wide receivers causing worry this week. Julio Jones, Demaryius Thomas, Golden Tate, and Mike Evans could also pop up as “questionable” on the injury report prior to their Week 2 games. Let’s figure out what you should do with these potential game-time decisions.

As we’ll do every week this season with the help of our friends at Fantasy Alarm, let’s break down the top pickups and project how much of your FAAB budget you should bid on them. DOMINATE YOUR LEAGUE: Get the Fantasy Alarm NFL Season Pass! Week 12 Fantasy FAAB Advice: Waiver wire QB pickups, streamers Deshaun Watson (CLE). Putting all of the off-field stuff aside, Watson is creeping up on fantasy relevance, as there is just one week left on his suspension....

Our full free agent list features plenty of potential contributors for the stretch run, but the majority of the list is streamer recommendations at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST. Four teams (Dolphins, Jaguars, Seahawks, Buccaneers) have Week 11 byes, so finding capable replacements is key. The streamer suggestions are grouped by position and can be found at the end of the list. White and Pacheco will require fairly highly waiver claims if you want them, and Watson, Cole Kmet, and even Kadarius Toney could also fetch high bids....

We’re hoping to welcome Marquise Brown (foot) and Ja’Marr Chase (hip) back into the WR rankings after the star wideouts missed the past several games. We’re also keeping a close eye on the statuses of JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion), Romeo Doubs (ankle), Jerry Jeudy (ankle), and Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) to see if any of those pass-catchers suit up in Week 12. With three games being played on Turkey Day, some start ’em, sit ’em calls get rushed, as a fair amount of fantasy-relevant wideouts suit up on Thanksgiving....

Atop this week’s rankings is Bengals’ superstar Ja’Marr Chase (vs. Chiefs in Week 13), who’s expected to return after missing Cincinnati’s past four games with a hip injury. Elsewhere in the top 10, there aren’t too many surprises, as the usual suspects fit the bill as bona fide WR1s. Christian Kirk (@ Lions) might be the lone top-10 eye-catcher, but a juicy matchup against a weak Detroit secondary could result in a big-time performance....

The Fantasy Alarm 2015 MLB Draft Guide is a must-own. It’s loaded with tons of information, from player profiles and rookie reports to in-season strategy articles and pitching and hitting targets to seek out on draft day. But the one thing we were not able to track and cover in the magazine is the abundance of position battles we’ll be watching this spring between now and Opening Day. Whether it’s an up-and-coming rookie looking to break into the majors or a recently signed free agent coming in to challenge an incumbent, these battles are incredibly important for fantasy owners to watch....

His time at the heart of the United defense will always fall under the same bracket as that of Nemanja Vidic. The pair formed a formidable partnership in the mid- to late 2000s and the fact that they are both leaving the club at the same time just highlights the predicament that Louis van Gaal will face when he finally takes over at the 20-time English champion. A perfect foil for the Serbian’s uncompromising style, Ferdinand — along with Edwin van der Sar behind them — formed a base from which the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were able to build at the sharp end of the pitch....

Qayyum Marjoni may have been the subject of the boo boys at Shah Alam Stadium as he went up against his former team mates but the Kelantan fans present missed a trick, when they should have directed their ire towards Faris Ramli who ran the show for PKNS FC in their 1-0 win on Friday night. The 25-year-old winger produced an outstanding performance as PKNS collected their third win of the 2018 Super League season to go back on top of the standings, albeit likely to be temporary until at least the rest of match day five fixtures are concluded....

As reported by the Times of Israel, rangers from the Israel Nature and Parks Authority found the carcasses of hedgehogs, foxes and jackals along with the lifeless body of the white-tailed eagle. The rangers reportedly searched the area for further carcasses and for potential evidence of what caused their deaths. Upon further investigation, officials believed the animals were deliberately poisoned with an illegal pesticide. Local reports did not name the pesticide in question....

İzzet Koçak said his family has been in the agriculture industry for three generations and that he cares for more than 180 cows. In addition to having his cows wear VR headsets, Koçak also has the cows listen to classical music in order to keep their stress levels lowered. He told Turkish news outlet Anadolu Ajansi he simulates various green pastures on the headsets so the cows feel that they are outside and is great for their mental wellbeing....

During a forum in Minnesota, representatives from the Minnesota Farmers Union, the Minnesota Corn Growers Association and the American Soybean Association took aim the Trump administration’s trade policy, Bloomberg reported. “We are not starting to do great again,” said Brian Thalmann, the president of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, referencing statements from President Donald Trump. “We are starting to go down very quickly.” The complaints came after a dramatic escalation in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies....

The Frenchman, who has been in charge of Arsenal for the past 22 years, has never had the opportunity to visit India. In an interview with Arsenal media, Wenger revealed his desire to visit the South Asian country. “I must say that it is one of the things in my life that I miss. I am fascinated by India but I don’t really know why. I have never been to India, but I have always encouraged Arsenal to organise a tour in India....

Why have you been the one to break the ban on encores? I don’t know. But since I began singing this opera the public has asked me for an encore, first at La Scala last year, then abroad, even in Tokyo. The word spreads, and it becomes like a tradition. At La Scala I didn’t know I was breaking a ban of 75 years. It’s better not to know....

These mysteries become not fascinating but maddening, a Rubik’s Cube that’s metastasized into 256 sides. Yes, yes, ““lost highway’’ is the highway we’re all on, careering to nowhere. Oui, oui, identity has lost its solidity in the postmod world of image scrimmage. Da, da, violence lurks in every human heart. Lynch has become the Heisenberg of cinema, telling us that the uncertainty principle rules our lives. Sex is either frantic (Pete with Alice) or failed (Fred with Renee)....

With Bayern Munich in 2021/22, Lewandowski scored three goals in the first 23 minutes of a knockout-stage match against RB Salzburg, marking the fastest hat trick scored by any player in the competition from the start of the game. He broke the previous record held by Marco Simone of AC Milan, who needed until the 24th minute to secure his hat trick in a 1996 match against Norwegian side Rosenborg....
