Fantasy Football Week 8 Wide Receiver Preview: Waiver adds, starts, sits, numbers to know, and more
Getty Images Any week we have six teams on a bye the rankings are going to look a little comical. This is particularly true at a position that has suffered as many injuries as the wide receivers have this year. Four of the top seven wide receivers in preseason ADP are not expected to play this week. Ten of the top 24 are not currently ranked. So yeah, Week 8 rankings do not look anything like preseason rankings. Still, there are a couple of names that really stood out in the first run of my projections: Wan'Dale Robinson and Romeo Doubs.Robinson projects as a top-12 option this week in full PPR. I'll give you a second to digest that last sentence. Part of it is that he has earned it. The past three weeks, with Jaxon Dart at QB and […]
Arsenal thrash Atletico Madrid in statement Champions League win
Arsenal blew Atletico Madrid away with four goals in 13 second-half minutes as the Gunners maintained their 100 per cent record in the Champions League with a statement 4-0 win.Just like they did against Atleti's city rivals Real in April, the Gunners dismantled Diego Simeone's defence on a perfect evening that saw two more set-piece goals and a double for Viktor Gyokeres to end his seven-game Arsenal goal drought. Arsenal dominated from start to finish and could have been up at half-time. Eberechi Eze struck the bar and Declan Rice missed a good chance from the rebound, while Jan Oblak denied Bukayo Saka and Gyokeres either side of half-time with solid saves.Atleti barely threatened until Julian Alvarez struck the bar just after half-time on his return to England - but then came the Arsenal onslaught.

UFC 321: Why it feels like now or never for title challenger Ciryl Gane to shake misconceptions of his game
Throughout the build to Saturday's UFC 321 main event in Abu Dhabi, when Tom Aspinall makes the first defense of his undisputed championship against fellow former interim titleholder Ciryl Gane, much of the prefight narrative has surrounded the word pressure. Aspinall (15-3), who never received his star-making opportunity to unify heavyweight titles against Jon Jones after the two-division champion chose to vacate his title and avoid him, must live up to the label of the division's next big thing now that the heavyweight throne is finally his despite the fact that his ground game and chin have never been fully tested.There's also the reality that Aspinall, a 32-year-old from Salford, England, enters the fight inside Etihad Arena as a 4-to-1 betting favorite even though he has never fought past the second round in his 18 pro fights, let alone the five-round […]
