If you have Johnny Manziel as the first to do it … have a seat. Officially, that honor goes to Blake Bortles, only because Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley announced it first on Sunday afternoon. But both Bortles, the third overall pick in the draft last May, and the Vikings’ Teddy Bridgewater, the last pick of the first round, earn the distinction after coming off the bench under vastly different circumstances....
That’s not to say the top 12 is devoid of potential streamers. Washington (@ Giants) should have some value, while the Colts (vs. Raiders) and Texans (vs. Panthers) are in fairly good spots and available in many leagues. Pittsburgh (vs. Bengals) and Denver (vs. Jaguars) have also been dropped in quite a few leagues and have upside this week.

Standard disclaimer: Any of the sleeper picks below could bust this week. We’re not perfect (far from it), especially since we’ll always take a few chances here because it doesn’t benefit anyone to list “must-starts.” You probably won’t start the players below over consistent, proven producers, but if you have a roster full of studs, then you’re wasting your time reading a sleepers article anyway. Even if you’re all set in season-long leagues, our sleeper picks can help you spot potential DFS values, as the prices of these players should be affordable....
Just be glad we don’t have any significant receivers from the Jets and 49ers on bye this week or things would get really complicated. WEEK 4 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker With just three games played, it’s still tough to know what’s a trend and what’s an aberration. Someone like DJ Chark, who’s scored in every game this year, is obviously due to regress, but how much?...
Of course, we have to remember that even “must-start” stars bust on occasion (like Mark Andrews last week), but you won’t see those types of players on our “busts” list unless we legitimately advise benching them. We highlight the players on the start-or-sit bubble – not obvious plays and not players with low-ownership levels. We also know you don’t always have the depth to bench players on this list (especially during bye weeks) without incurring more risk with alternatives....
That would be the 4-0 Chiefs, the league’s last undefeated team after their last-minute win over Washington on Monday. It may not necessarily be a good omen. Since 2013, of the six teams that were the last to lose a game each year, only one has even won a playoff game that season. And that was the 2015 Panthers, who began 14-0 and reached the Super Bowl. Of the other five teams, two missed the playoffs entirely, including last year’s Vikings team that started 5-0 and finished 8-8....

The same is true for owners of injury worries like Leonard Fournette and Rob Kelley. Plenty of sleepers are bubbling up on the waiver wire, and with only marginal starters Ameer Abdullah and Lamar Miller on bye this week, it shouldn’t be tough to find two decent starters. Perhaps most beneficial to fantasy owners is that Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram (and Alvin Kamara, for that matter) have been freed from their timeshare, making all parties involved more attractive from week-to-week....

The streamers we like this week are C.J. Uzoman (vs. Bucs) and Heuerman (@ Chiefs), and Ben Watson of the Saints has a better-than-expected matchup against a Vikings defense that has struggled against TEs this year. Chris Herndon (Jets) may be a popular name on the waiver wire, as well, but given that he has a matchup with the Bears, we don’t recommend starting him this week.

The Panthers and Cardinals will each try to right the ship in intra-division prime time contests this week. The Cardinals will get things going Thursday night against the 49ers (8:25 p.m. ET, CBS, NFL Network, Twitter) while the Panthers close out the week’s schedule Monday night against Tampa Bay (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Quick Hitters – Alabama is a 48-point home favorite Saturday vs. Southern Miss. When the Crimson Tide have been favored by 38 points or more going back to Week 3 of 2011, they have limped to a 1-7 spread record. – A number of reports out of Stillwater on Sunday indicated Oklahoma State QB J.W. Walsh had a broken foot and would be out 6-8 weeks. Those reports were shot down Monday, however, and Walsh’s injury isn’t as bad as initially anticipated....
What’s more, he could easily have had a fourth gold: his anchor leg in the 4 x 200m freestyle relay, which pulled China up into the bronze medal position, was a full second quicker than anyone else swam in either the individual or relay events. Meanwhile, China’s other Olympic hero in the pool appears to have forgotten how to swim. Ye Shiwen amazingly finished out of the medals in the 200m IM last week, and followed that up with 7th in the 400m IM....
Weird West’s setting is all about the surreal and supernatural, a dark fantasy twist on the stories of cowboys and outlaws. The world that WolfEye has crafted is one of the most complete occult fantasy west games that a fan could hope for - a video game tour of everything that goes bump in the night, so to speak. Witches and poltergeists roam the world the same as bandits and gunslingers do, and occasionally these factions work together....
This isn’t the only glitch players have encountered in The Witcher 3, but it may be one of the most noticeable despite not impacting gameplay that much. Redditor alion23 shared a short video of Geralt standing in an icy cave, his hair worn short and inexplicably pitch black.

Whatever your opinion, it is safe to assume that the 26-year-old is not overly concerned. Chelsea 18/1 to beat Arsenal 3-2 Neither is his current boss Arsene Wenger, nor England manager Gareth Southgate. Welbeck may not be to everyone’s taste, but his ability to deliver the goods is difficult to question. In his 36 senior international appearances to date, he boasts a rather healthy return of 15 goals – netting as many times in 2014 World Cup qualification as the likes of Thomas Muller and Gareth Bale and bettering the return of Cristiano Ronaldo en route to Euro 2016....
