Before we get into our picks and strategy, here are the key scoring settings for DraftKings Showdown contests: They’re full-point PPR and there are three-point bonuses for 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player’s original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied by 1.5.

Those are two of the NFL’s marquee franchises, and they were slated to play on Sunday Night Football in Week 15. But they were flexed out of that slot and instead placed at 1 p.m. ET Sunday in favor of Browns vs. Giants on Sunday night. It makes sense from a football standpoint, as the Cowboys (4-9) and 49ers (5-8) are both essentially out of the playoff race. Most fans won’t be deprived of watching that meaningless matchup if they want to, though, because CBS will be carrying it in the whole western half of the United States....

As Niners Nation points out, this is a minor hurdle. These tickets are going to sell out fast, and the best chance will be through the secondary market. (They note that the Broncos are running a similar policy for their game against the New England Patriots.) Of course, you could save yourself the money, watch the game at home where it isn't raining and you won't go through a ridiculously hostile experience with opposing fans....

Jordy Nelson, I’m likewise thankful for the bounty you bestowed upon that same squad. Sadly, you also shared the fruits of your labor with my opponent in another league. I hate it when that happens. I sincerely appreciate the stellar second quarter turned in by Dez Bryant in London, but I’m left wondering if he got lost in the bowels of Wembley Stadium after halftime. It was good to see Tony Romo back in fine form, too....

I’d just like to point out that I’m the only fantasy expert on the planet* that had Marshawn Lynch ranked ahead of Eddie Lacy in my preseason rankings. (*Note: I looked up at least five other experts’ lists, so I think that’s a mathematically significant sample size. Not sure. Never took Statistics.) After Game 1,* it’s clear that I am a genius. (Note: Again, one game seems like a perfectly reasonable sample size to me....

That can’t be the Big Ben that has cracked the top-10 fantasy QB ranks in just three of his first 10 seasons. That’s not the same guy that has followed nearly every masterful fantasy performance throughout his career with a dud the next week. I know it can’t be him because who else could pass for 522 yards and six TDs and still be benched by half his owners the next game – while six teams were on bye, no less?...

Even when there is a debate about the greatest player of all-time, most of the names thrown around are that of forwards like Pele, Diego Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The most important parameter that separates the good forwards from the truly world class ones is the number of goals that they score. Very few players have scored over 400 career goals in the history of the game and our generation is lucky enough to witness five such players....

DCEU fans have to go all the way back to Smallville to see a live-action version of Brainiac that was actually a formidable foe to the superheroes of the world. That means it’s well past time to bring him back into the collective conscientiousness of comic book fans and to put him on the big screen for the first time. Of course, in order to do the character right, they need to find the perfect actor that can give off the vibe of someone who is both maniacal and brilliant....

Over the years, A24 has worked with many actresses: indie darlings and A-listers included. From Saoirse Ronan, the misfit teenager in Lady Bird, to Toni Collette, the tortured mother in Hereditary, these women embody their painfully-human characters and make their idiosyncrasies their own. Equally, here are five actresses who could do just as good a job in an A24 movie.

If anyone still considers SmackDown Live inferior to Raw in 2018, that person probably stopped watching WWE a long time ago, as the blue brand offers something for everyone every single damn week. And this week, SmackDown Live was a worthy broadcast that consisted of dream matches, well put together segments and a conclusion that had people saying; “where the hell was this Randy Orton for the last three freaking years?...

With PAC, The Inner Circle, Shawn Spears, and MJF, it’s clear that AEW has some fantastic heels, but without much depth on the babyface side of things, the company could struggle down the road. Signing new wrestlers can’t always be the answer, but with some established babyfaces out there, AEW could make a huge impact in the final few months of 2019. With that stated, here are five babyface wrestlers that All Elite Wrestling should sign before 2019 comes to a close....

Ballon d’Or winners and their heritage If we were to count the Czech Republic and its predecessor Czechoslovakia as a single country, we would get Ballon d’Or winners from as many as 19 countries. Predictably though, this count is severely concentrated in a select group of countries. The usual suspects Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal have been represented the most number of times on the Ballon d’Or stage, with each nation being credited with seven wins....

The ab wheel’s capacity to involve all of our core muscles, including what are referred to as our “stabilizer” muscles, is what makes it so powerful.
