In part, the RB rankings for this week are more dependent on injuries than anything for value added, whether in PPR or non-PPR formats. Josh Jacobs (shoulder) directly impacts DeAndre Washington. Derrick Henry (hamstring) directly impacts Dion Lewis. Of course you’ve also got to keep an eye on the injuries to Derrius Guice (knee), Rashaad Penny (knee), Bo Scarbrough (ribs), Damien Williams (ribs), and James Conner (shoulder) to get a full picture of what’s happening, too....

Chances are, if you have a stud quarterback, you’re not sitting him at this point. You have to stick with your studs, even if one has the most brutal matchup imaginable. So, guys like Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes, and Russell Wilson have to be in starting lineups. They have been consistent, and there is no better option that you will be able to find at this point.

Only four of those 14 games, though, are matchups of two teams currently alive in the playoff picture. The first was a Saturday night special. The result of the Ravens-Chargers game in Los Angeles impacts multiple games set to be played Sunday. For example, the Steelers and Chiefs — both of whom have tough matchups themselves this week — were watching the Saturday night game closely. Below are our NFL picks and predictions for Week 16 of the 2018 season....

Game of the Week Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS). Remember that Super Bowl? It will take Peyton Manning and the Broncos a long time to forget that 43-8 debacle. Winning here would offer little revenge. The bad news is, this game is in noisy Seattle and not in neutral New Jersey. The Seahawks’ defense got deserved credit for manhandling Manning’s receivers and rendering a record-setting offense useless....

But that’s what bad matchups and injuries will do for you. We don’t all agree on each other’s picks, but at the very least, we understand the respective arguments. Even if you feel you “have” to start some of these players, make sure you don’t overpay for them when building your daily fantasy football lineups – at least not in cash games. In GPP tournaments, you might be able to get low ownership and hit big on a proven star....

He’s joined in the picture above by Chase Edmonds, who most of you probably know as the handcuff to David Johnson. Thing is, Johnson’s dealing with injuries and Edmonds could see more usage than usual this week, even if Johnson plays. There should be a ton of points in Arizona’s game against Atlanta, and Edmonds would become even more exciting if Johnson was forced to miss out.

In weeks like this, there are usually more value pick opportunities because the public is either irrationally biased toward one side or relatively evenly split although one team is better than a coin flip to win. To increase your odds to win an NFL pick ’em pool, you need to be on the smarter side of those games.

NBA Finals, Cavaliers-Warriors Game 2 (8 p.m. ET Sunday, ABC): Game 1 was the highest-rated and most-watched opener since 2001, earning a 10.6 rating and 17.8 million viewers, but ABC has to be disappointed entering Game 2. The overtime injury to Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving is likely to sap the energy from a series that was already considered somewhat of a mismatch. Unless LeBron James can keep the Cavaliers close, it is possible the series has already peaked....

This could happen because you’re relying a bit too much on prepackaged snacks like potato chips that are allergen-free, but not so great for the waistline. Or you may decide to reward yourself with treats more often than you should simply because you feel deprived otherwise. Whatever the reason, those of us with food allergies may need to lose weight, too. So here are 6 weight-loss tips that can help:...

Helen Marlow and her pup were near Penzance, Cornwall, when she spotted massive, white sacks on the sand. The odd objects were covered in seaweed and had a flesh-like consistency. Marlow made the discovery shortly after the tide went down, indicating they could have washed up from the deep ocean. “I had no idea what it was, I couldn’t match it to anything I’d ever seen. I just could tell it was organic....

The Northern Irishman said Wednesday he feels much better heading into the Wells Fargo Championship than he did at the Masters a couple of weeks ago because he had some time to correct some minor issues. “I’m excited to be playing again after a couple of weeks off,” McIlroy said Wednesday. “I’ve got a busy stretch coming up and hopefully I’ll start off with a good tournament this week....

The fan threw the popcorn after Westbrook suffered an ankle injury and was leaving the game.

Wenger: Ozil’s finishing is MUCH better in training! The Gunners will be looking to build on their 1-0 victory over West Brom on Boxing Day, their first win in three Premier League games, when the Eagles head to Emirates Stadium. Wenger insists Palace – who drew 1-1 at Watford in Allardyce’s first game at the helm – are a tough test despite sitting 17th and the challenge has been made greater following the arrival of the ex-England boss, who could be without 10 first-team players....
