Just when we start to feel comfortable, however, is when injuries and other adverse developments can shake teams’ identities. This week’s schedule is short on marquee games and high on big point spreads. So who wins, and who covers? Let’s dive right in, always trying to be better than we were last week.

That said, we know QBs have the higher floors and ceilings when you’re deciding between guys lower in the rankings. No one is going to be deciding between Derrick Henry and Tom Brady at a superflex spot, but you might be choosing between Davis Mills and Michael Pittman Jr. The choice is Mills, as even in a 200-yard, one-TD, one-INT performance, he scores 10 fantasy points. In standard leagues, Pittman’s path to 10 points is much tougher – 100 yards or 40 yards and a touchdown....
But one player – someone fantasy owners haven’t thought much about since Week 1 – could crash the party the in a big way. Early-week reports out of Dallas have hinted at the possibility of Dez Bryant (foot) playing against the Giants in Week 7, which would be an earlier-than-expected return for arguably the top receiver in the game. With Brandon LaFell (foot) also set to return this week, fantasy owners will have plenty of tough start-sit lineup decisions....

This article describes the different weight-bearing restrictions your orthopedic surgeon may prescribe, including what is involved in the different stages of rehabilitation. Types of Weight-Bearing Restrictions Understanding the different weight-bearing restriction types, as well as how to perform them, is often confusing. So what are weight-bearing restrictions, and how do you navigate from non-weight-bearing to full weight-bearing after injury or surgery? It is a good idea to check with your healthcare provider or physical therapist (PT) to understand your specific weight-bearing restrictions and how to maintain them properly....
However, weight-loss surgery is, after all, surgery, and the benefits don’t always outweigh the potential risks. If you’re considering either of the two types of bariatric procedures—gastric sleeve or gastric bypass—you’ll want to be aware of the pros and cons in order to make an informed decision about going forward. The Link Between Obesity and Heart Health Obesity and overweight are risk factors for several different kinds of cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, heart attack, atrial fibrillation, and stroke....
As well as customizing Arthur’s weapons, outfit, horses and camp, it’s also possible for players to have some fun with the protagonist’s hairstyle. This could be something as simple as applying some pomade to tidy up some of his wilder strands or adjusting his parting just to change things up a little. Those looking for something a little more permanent can even opt to get his hair cut. Just like everybody else though, Arthur is not immune to the occasional bad hair day, as one player recently discovered....

The Northern Irishman started Friday with a share of top spot following an opening round of 66, and looked set to improve his standing when he moved to nine under, having carded five birdies and one bogey after 16 holes. But four-time major winner McIlroy, who turns 30 on Saturday, slipped back toward the chasing pack as he recorded a double-bogey on the penultimate hole, before missing the green and bogeying the last....
The Gunners have spent big bolstering their attacking ranks during the last two windows. Alexandre Lacazette was acquired for £46 million in 2017, before Arsenal invested another club-record fee in £55m man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January. Wenger also has England international forward Danny Welbeck on his books, as well as Alex Iwobi and an exciting crop of academy graduates. Taking that into account, the long-serving Frenchman is not expecting to bring any more goal-getters onto his books....

Manchester City are favourites to sign the 28-year-old, who revealed on Friday that he has already decided whether he will leave Arsenal, but he will not confirm his intentions until after the Confederations Cup. Keita worth €80m for Liverpool Sanchez only has one year left on his contract and ex-Arsenal midfielder Robson, who feels the club have handled the situation badly, believes Wenger does not like confrontations with players....
The Spaniard, 21, signed a long-term contract extension with the Premier League side despite reported interest from elsewhere. Wenger was delighted the former Barcelona youth player opted to remain at the Emirates Stadium. Bye-beye Barca! Bellerin’s here to stay “Overall I think it shows the players we have educated here are committed and that’s what you want,” he said. “I think when you give chances and you educate young boys, you give them a chance to play in the first team and you want as well them to commit to the club and that’s an important quality we have at this club....
As always, even perennial stars can bust in favorable matchups, but it’s tough to call superstars “busts” unless they’re less than 100 percent, they’ve really been trending downward, or they have a particularly brutal matchup. We mostly stick to naming guys on the start-or-sit bubble, not guys who are simply going to have a good-but-not-great week or guys who are on over 90 percent of waiver wires. Sometimes you don’t have the depth to reasonably bench these players (or you might just totally disagree with our assessments), but you’ll at least know who is at risk this week....
At this point in the season, not much is changing near the top. We have the most consistent players from high-flying offenses ranked highly. That includes guys like Mahomes, Drew Brees, Andrew Luck, and Goff. Of course, our tiers of streamers are solid, as well. Among the notable players that could be started this week if needed are Lamar Jackson (@ Falcons), Jameis Winston (vs. Panthers), and the red-hot Baker Mayfield (@ Texans)....
Even superstars can struggle (ahem, Jaylen Waddle), but you won’t see those types of players among our bust picks unless we legitimately advise benching them. We try to highlight players on the start-or-sit bubble – not “must-starts,” and not players owned in just 15 percent of leagues. You might not have enough depth to bench the players below, or you might just completely disagree with our picks. Either way, it’s your team, so make the decisions that work best for you....
