There were some key factors that had to be considered when we put together this roster. How would we account for injures? That’s the biggest thing that could sway the names on this list one way or another, but in general, we’ve placed players here whose performances warranted it just as much as any potential injuries. Any player with a much higher ADP than overall performance was eligible for the list, and to make sure we fit all the special cases, we stretched the roster limits a little bit (although in reality, we’ve just given the roster a FLEX spot in the form of an extra running back)....

It doesn’t matter if you play on CBS, Yahoo, ESPN or another site, nor does it matter if you have a super FLEX position, two QBs, or half-point PPR. The links below can help you find the top players and take home a league championship. Week 1 gets underway on Thursday, Sept. 5, with the Packers and Bears, and we’ll be updating our preseason content right up until kickoff....

Bellinger, slashing at .355/.451/.702 with 23 home runs and 58 RBIs in only 69 games for the NL West leaders, is followed closely by fellow National League MVP candidate Christian Yelich of the Brewers with 2,065,382 votes. The update is the last before the Primary Round polls close at 4 p.m. ET Friday under this year’s revamped balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters....

Thursday was a record-setting night as the Southeastern Conference (SEC) had 15 picks in the first round, smashing the old record of 12, held by the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference. LSU had five of those, with quarterback Joe Burrow getting selected first overall and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire being the final pick of the evening. The second and third rounds are Friday night, and this is where teams can make important strategic moves in the draft as many top players are still available....

Overall, Martinez hadn’t had a sensational tournament but triumphed against the Netherlands in their quarterfinal penalty shootout and knew he would be called upon in the final against a talented France side. That was absolutely the case. He had little to do in the first half as France became the first team on record to fail to record a shot in the opening 45 minutes, but in the second half Les Bleus turned things around and made Martinez a busy man in goal....

All the teams from the 2017 WBC automatically qualified for this tournament — originally set for 2021, but pushed back because of the COVID pandemic and the MLB lockout — so the United States team won’t have to worry about that round, but that didn’t stop a flood of elite ballplayers born in the U.S. from rushing to join the 2023 squad.

Black business owners across the country offer a gamut of services and products ranging from home goods and apparel, essential services like banks and markets, educational resources and more. With an already large (and growing) footprint on the restaurant industry, it should come to no surprise that black families are also making their presence known in the world of wine as well. Their fleet is small—there are roughly 11,000 wineries in the U....

The GOP prosecutors chastised Biden for the proposed measure, which would see a federal vaccine requirement imposed for private-sector employees, health care workers and federal contractors. The requirement, announced earlier this month, is being enacted through a rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as part of an effort to inoculate Americans from the more deadly delta variant. “Your plan is disastrous and counterproductive,” the prosecutors, led by Attorney General Alan Wilson of South Carolina, wrote in a letter sent to Biden....

The First Baptist Church was formed by free and enslaved Back people in 1776 and was rebuilt in 1856 after the first structure was destroyed by a tornado. Colonial Williamsburg bought the property in 1956 and turned it into a parking lot. On Thursday, Colonial Williamsburg said it would begin uncovering the church’s foundation. So far, 25 graves have been located, according to Jack Gary, Colonial Williamsburg’s director of archaeology....

But Nick Bhardwaj, founder and CEO of the tech company Beyond Games, will get to claim that experience on his resume after April 18. Bhardwaj bid $11,700 in Arkansas State's fundraising auction to "win" the opportunity to play head coach for the school's spring football game. He'll get to wear a headset on the sidelines, calling plays like any coach would do. The school has even promised that Bhardwaj will be doused with a celebratory water cooler shower after the game....

This week marks the 25th anniversary of the first “Turn Back the Clock Day” in MLB history, played at Comiskey Park in Chicago on July 11, 1990. The White Sox threw back to 1917 that day, and the promotion proved to be such a huge success that it soon became a standard event for most big league clubs, one that is arguably more popular now than ever before.

Rooney breaks Man Utd goals record Months of anticipation have built up ahead of Rooney’s 250th goal for the club, the one which takes him past Sir Bobby Charlton as United’s all-time greatest goalscorer. But, when it finally happened, the context of the goal far outweighed the personal milestone as he secured a 1-1 draw for his side on what was otherwise an afternoon to forget. It had been a close call for most of the game as to whether it was going to be yet another Manchester United rescue job or just one of those days....

Olympic organizers are set to announce next week that up to 10,000 local fans should be allowed at the games, which are set to begin July 23, according to the Associated Press.
