Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 4

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:47 GMT

Kudos if you started De’Von Achane (49.3 half-PPR points) last week. There aren’t many of you, but for the handful that did, he single-handedly won you your week.The same goes for Raheem Mostert (41.7 points).Basically, if you had anyone on the Miami Dolphins (70 actual points) you were in a pretty strong spot to win your Week 3 fantasy matchup.That said, week-winning performances weren’t solely reserved for Dolphins.Keenan Allen (36.5), Davante Adams (35.7), and the Buffalo D/ST (32) all delivered performances that surely had fantasy managers smiling (or, if you played against them like me, weeping).Entering Week 4, we can finally start to get rid of preseason narratives and projections in favor of the actual in-season data. Even so, it can be difficult to think rationally about the underperforming players you spent a lot of draft capital on, or to know whether your hot waiver add is legit.But don’t worry.I’ve got you covered.Every week, I’ll be listing every fantasy-relevant playe...

Tua Tagovailoa’s leadership key in Miami Dolphins’ offensive success

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:47 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Mike McDaniel has noticed the change in Tua Tagovailoa: His jovial nature on the Miami Dolphins’ sideline during games. His air of determination in practices and even walkthroughs. His elevated confidence when speaking with his teammates. All of it plays a role in the fourth-year quarterback’s output on game days, McDaniel said Wednesday, adding that much of Tagovailoa’s growth on the field has started with internal work each week.“He’s starting to see the power that he holds at that position,” McDaniel said, “when you are in charge of giving the play and executing each and every play with ball-handling and assignments. But what it can do for teammates … You have a group of people that, ‘Wow, how I work and then what my talents are, those combined have residual effects on a lot of people’s journeys.’ So I think he’s very much leaning into and enjoying that more.”Tagovailoa is leading an offense that ranks first in the league in near...

Biden vetoes 2 Republican-led bills to undo prairie chicken, bat protections

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:47 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has vetoed Republican-sponsored bills to undo federal protections for two endangered species that have seen their populations plummet over the years: the lesser prairie chicken and northern long-eared bat.The two GOP measures would overturn “science-based rulemaking" that offers important protections for the once-abundant species and would undermine the Endangered Species Act, Biden said. “The lesser prairie-chicken serves as an indicator for healthy grasslands and prairies, making the species an important measure of the overall health of America’s grasslands,'' the White House wrote late Tuesday in a veto statement about the prairie bird. It's a member of the grouse family found in parts of the Midwest and Southwest, including the oil-rich Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas. The bird’s range also extends into parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas.FILE - This undated photo provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources shows a no...

Concord-Carlisle field hockey team plays elite defense, tops Wellesley

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:47 GMT

WELLESLEY – Standout defense has been a calling card for the No. 10 Concord-Carlisle field hockey team over the last few seasons, and that remained true Wednesday afternoon to hand No. 19 Wellesley its first loss during a gritty 3-1 nonleague win on the road.The Patriots (4-1-1) seemed to have an answer for almost every potentially dangerous bid the Raiders (6-1-1) presented, holding Wellesley scoreless up until the final minute despite a bevy of corners.Neutralizing the Raiders’ plus speed in transition played a massive role, as did a constant rotation of defenders winning one-on-one matchups around and inside the circle. Goalie Crista Celi (six saves) cleaned up whatever got through most of the way.Wellesley’s defense was equally tough, but Concord-Carlisle powered through behind Avery Swenson’s goal and assist. Fei Yang-Sady and Kate Francini scored the other two goals, while Hadley Swenson (assist) and Julia Lambert stood out within a well-rounded win.“Each line was working toge...

Battenfeld: Social disorder in American cities threatens to damage Biden re-election hopes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:48:47 GMT

Lawlessness and random violent attacks across American cities – forcing stores to close and city officials to confront the problem – could become a key issue in 2024 and hurt the Biden campaign’s claims of economic recovery.The sense of social disorder – occurring primarily in Democratic-led cities – could come back to bite Democrats running for office.The shocking ransacking of stores like Apple in Philadelphia this week by gangs of teenagers and others is just the latest example of urban unrest. Retail giant Target just announced it was closing nine stores in several cities due to rampant shoplifting and threats of violence.“This was a sickening display of opportunistic criminal activity, and we will not stand for it,” Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said.Philadelphia police officials said about 20 people were arrested Tuesday night for the looting, which was captured on video for all to see the looters acting without seeming fear of being caught or punished.Among the stores closed ...
