Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal remain on course to qualify for the Champions League even though the Gunners’ 0-0 draw against Everton left them facing a nerve-wracking end to the season. Wenger’s side would have moved four points clear of fifth placed Tottenham with a win over Everton on Tuesday, but instead they had to settle for a frustrating point after struggling to cope with the visitors’ physical approach at the Emirates Stadium....
The Panthers have quietly been one of the better teams in the NFL this season, rocking a 7-3 record, and we’re stacking a QB-RB duo (though it’s really a QB-WR stack in disguise) in a favorable road matchup. Our picks rely heavily on our RBs to do what they’ve done a lot lately – score touchdowns – and we’re banking on our WRs to buck some trends and come up clutch....

Going by FanDuel scoring, the Raiders and Ravens are the top two teams in fantasy points allowed to kickers, meaning the Broncos’ Brandon McManus (vs. Oakland) and the Seahawks’ Steven Hauschka (at Baltimore) have the top two matchups, if you buy into that for kickers. Point is, they’re strong options as usual. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the kicker rankings for Week 14 to help you with those tough lineup decisions....
Alex Smith, QB, Chiefs. Smith had one of the least impressive five-touchdown performances you’ll ever see. He completed 17 of 20 passes for 287 yards with the five TDs and no interceptions. In a way, I guess that efficiency is pretty impressive. According to the AP’s Josh Dubow, Smith’s TD passes traveled a combined 13 yards downfield, with three coming on simple screen passes to … Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs....

Now in the cases of Baltimore and New England, you should probably be starting those D/STs anyway. The Patriots take on mistake-prone Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins, which should lead to fantasy goodness regardless of who’s on the field. We’d also feel great about the Ravens’ defense against either Mason Rudolph or Duck Hodges. Either way, there are turnovers waiting to happen.

These players are slotted all over our rankings and will likely be popular picks in daily fantasy football lineups. And you better believe they’ll be coming up in a lot of start-sit questions. Some we like, others we don’t (see our Week 3 bust picks). Here are a few of our favorite backups and other under-the-radar players for Week 3.

MAIN EVENT: Clemson at Florida State Revenge won’t come easy. Clemson looks to avenge an embarrassing 51-14 loss against defending national champion Florida State on Sept. 20. That game put Jameis Winston in the national spotlight, both for his pregame speech and 444-yard, three-TD performance against the Tigers. The implications aren’t that much different in 2014. The winner will have a leg-up in the ACC Atlantic Division race, and the loser will be in an uphill battle to reach the four-team College Football Playoff....
Emerging pitchers Anthony Desclafani, Spencer Turnbull, and Pablo Lopez are interesting, and power bats like Hunter Refroe and Derek Dietrich can help almost any team. Overall, it’s not the strongest class of free agents, likely due to the relative stagnancy of MLB rosters over the past seven days, but we’re confident some of our targets will pan out as genuine difference-makers to your fantasy baseball teams, especially the fill-in closers....
As always, even perennial stars can bust in favorable matchups, but can be tough to call superstars “busts.” We’ll stick to naming guys on the start-or-sit bubble – not “must-starts” and not guys who are on over 90 percent of waiver wires. As mentioned above, you can’t always avoid players on this list. Sometimes you don’t have the depth to reasonably bench these guys (or you might just totally disagree with our assessments), especially in a week like this....
Even more unfortunate is that several normal starting units have bad matchups (Lions, Steelers, Texans, Broncos), making it tough to find anyone you’d actually feel comfortable playing. The Vikings are clearly the best option, and both the Bengals (available on the waiver wire in many leagues) and Eagles look solid, but after that, who do you really feel good about? Aside from the Bengals, the Saints (vs. Bears), Falcons (@ Jets), and Dolphins (@ Ravens) are your best pickup options in most leagues, but unless the Saints can capture their home magic of a couple weeks ago, the ceilings don’t appear super high for those mediocre units....
The tight ends on bye this week include Darren Fells, Logan Thomas, Tyler Eifert, and Dan Arnold. Of the bunch, only Fells and Thomas have been worthwhile PPR streamers this year – Thomas because he ranks eighth among TEs in targets per game (6), and Fells because he is emerging as a TD threat.
