But as we always say, it’s easy to identify sleepers – just not necessarily ones that actually pay off. That’s especially true with running backs, where a preseason darling might not get a chance to shine until late in the year, if at all. Meanwhile, injuries can open the door for Johnny No-Name, allowing Mr. (or Ms.) Number One Waiver Claim to pick him up in Week 2 while you’re staring a roster full of potential that never materializes....

The Nittany Lions are ranked No. 10 and travel to Iowa City to face the No. 17 ranked Hawkeyes on Saturday night with a legitimate shot at improving their record for the season to 6-0. Throughout the season, whenever the top teams in the country have been discussed, Penn State has regularly been overlooked. Admittedly, it is hard for the Nittany Lions to stand out as they share not only the same conference but the same division with Ohio State, who has raced to 6-0 and is currently ranked No....

So, now that it’s been established sleeper tight ends emerge every season, it’s important to figure out how to identify them. Sometimes, TEs set to see an expanded role in an offense, perhaps because another TE or key WR left or because a new offensive coordinator is in town, are prime sleeper targets. You could also look at TEs who got a QB upgrade in the offseason. New opportunities can yield new results – even for old players....

To illustrate how important handcuffs can be, take a look at Christian McCaffrey and Mike Davis in 2020. McCaffrey suffered several injuries throughout the season and played just three games, opening the door for Davis to take over. In Weeks 3-16, Davis was the No. 6 overall running back in PPR formats. McCaffrey owners who didn’t have Davis were kicking themselves, as they lost the assumed No. 1 overall pick for most of the year and had to try to piece together a replacement from other teams....

The company gave some details on the EQS SUV at the opening of its EV (electric vehicle) battery plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama last month, though the car was wrapped and its exterior was obscured.

In a survey of 168 different brands, benzene levels exceeded the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) temporary limit on the amount of the chemical permitted in hand sanitizers, or 2 ppm. “These findings are alarming and reveal a serious potential risk to public health for which [Valisure] requests expeditious action from the [Food and Drug Administration] to properly address,” the report read. Benzene is considered a carcinogen, a cancer-causing chemical, and previous studies have found there is “probably no safe level” of exposure for people....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report citing three deaths, all traced to bat contact. None of the three individuals who died received a series of shots that can help prevent the symptoms.
