Wallabies coach Michael Cheika doesn’t share the pessimism around Australia’s’ Super Rugby teams that plenty have thrown around in recent weeks. With just one team – the Rebels – sitting in finals contention at the halfway mark of the season, experts have criticised depth and quality of Australian sides, but Cheika isn’t buying into the negativity. “Like any season, I’m not going to say it’s all going swimmingly and we’d like to have a few…
Try as we might, our PPR rankings at the tight end position are never that different from our standard TE rankings, and that holds true for Week 6. That makes some sense, /at the bottom end of the position, where you might be streaming or just relying on an underwhelming option, any sleeper value comes from volume. There are tight ends more prone to the big play than others, but not to the same extent…
Austin Ekeler was a fantasy stud through four weeks without Melvin Gordon playing. We all figured that Gordon’s return would knock him down a notch, and in a sense, it did. Ekeler only had three carries last week, and that would suggest his placement even in our Week 6 RB PPR rankings would fall. However, he caught 15 passes on 16 targets. Even though he didn’t get much more than five yards per catch, that’s…
Hunter Henry hasn’t played since Week 1, and many fantasy owners may have forgotten about him. If he’s on your waiver wire, he’s worth a pickup as he approaches a return from his knee injury. Tight end rankings also have a question mark for the Lions, where T.J. Hockenson remains in doubt after being injured in Week 4. Evan Engram might miss Week 6, and also in New York, the Jets are hoping Sam Darnold passes…
As fantasy football owners start to look ahead to Week 6, Saquon Barkley’s status is up in the air. The consensus top pick might make it back in time to play Thursday night against the Patriots — which is suddenly a little more important after the Giants lost Wayne Gallman to a concussion Sunday. There was also a brief scare in Carolina when Christian McCaffrey limped off, but it turns out he was just cramping. He…

The England international could have capped an impressive performance with a goal midway through…

Mauro Icardi has revealed that talks are still ongoing with Inter over his contract renewal and insists that he is not worried by the discussions.

A sparkling volley from a player not exactly known for his goalscoring abilities set the Reds on the way to victory and a six-point lead at the summit Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren will not be swayed by his team being labelled as favourites to win the Premier League, and called on the Reds to keep their focus at the top of the table. Lovren sent his side on the way to victory on Boxing Day…
