Obesity can be hard to treat through diet and exercise alone, and weight loss surgery can help shed excess weight with lifestyle adjustments such as a strict, monitored diet and regular exercise routine as permanent next steps to maintain and contribute to further weight loss. Here’s what you need to know about weight loss surgery, including the various procedures, who is the best candidate for weight loss surgery, risks, and more....

However, perhaps these two episodes’ biggest win is how well they illustrate Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s lack of familiarity with the sport, even one year after officializing their Wrexham acquisition. Sadly though, this means abandoning what possibly has made Welcome to Wrexham an entertaining watch until now, seeing how a tiny football club has the power to impact its community and learn some ins and outs of what it takes to run a team beyond the fantasy that is Football Manager 2023....

Welker is banned for the first month of the 2014 regular season because of a positive test. Several reports say he tested positive for amphetamines. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported Welker took MDMA, a banned substance, that was laced with amphetamines at the Kentucky Derby in May. According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, the Broncos “have known about Welker’s suspension” since before training camp and were “holding out hope” it would be turned over on appeal....

Wellington Phoenix are currently rooted to the bottom of the A-League standings and have endured a dismal season so far. The New Zealand-based outfit crashed out of the FFA Cup last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture. Macarthur FC, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Bulls played out a 2-2 draw against Western United in their previous game and will need to return to winning ways this weekend....

This week’s Wells Fargo Championship is back at Quail Hollow this year after being played at Eagle Point GC last year. Tiger Woods is in the field for the first time since the Masters. Now ranked inside the top 100 in the world, Woods is trying to earn his first win since 2013. Though not a major, the Wells Fargo boasts an impressive field with a great mix of youthful stars, veterans and Ryder Cup hopefuls....

The only two-time winner of the Wells Fargo Championship sits in a tie for the lead at 5 under with Joel Dahmen with a few players left on the course in North Carolina. McIlroy used five birdies on the back nine to pass up 2018 Masters winner Patrick Reed, who sits in a tie for second at 4 under for the tournament after shooting 67 on Thursday. Reed posted a bogey-free round on his day, which included three birdies on his back nine and two in his final three holes....

Harry Kane’s second-half header secured the 1-0 win for Spurs at Wembley, which leaves the Gunners six points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool, having played a game more. Winning the Europa League is beginning to look like Arsenal’s best chance of securing a return to the Champions League and Wenger accepts their league campaign has suffered a major blow. “It was a game we couldn’t afford to lose,” he told a news conference....

Arsenal host Marseilles on Tuesday knowing that a win will secure their place in the Champions League knock-out round with a game to spare. The Gunners beat Marseille 2-1 in France in September, and their opponents sit pointless at the bottom of Group F. If Marseille are to leave the Emirates with anything, then a key battle will be their attempts to stifle Arsenal’s plethora of creative players in midfield....

‘Wenger will have big job lined up’ The Arsenal manager is 67 and says he is as hungry as ever to be in the dugout despite the Gunners’ 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week. Ferguson has pursued other interests such as horse racing since retiring and Wenger believes he had “had enough” by the time he ended his coaching career. The Frenchman, on the other hand, insists he has not yet reached that point and will continue until he feels differently - adding that he hopes he will be able to do so at Arsenal....

Having entered the final year of his contract and with no intention of committing to fresh terms, the Chilean forward was eager to make a move when Manchester City came calling. Arsenal 3/1 to beat Chelsea A £60 million offer was on the table as the transfer deadline approached, but Arsenal failed to bring in cover – notably Monaco’s Thomas Lemar – and Sanchez was prevented from leaving. He has been back among the goals in Europa League action since being reintroduced to the Gunners fold and Wenger believes that a long-running exit saga has been quickly forgotten....

Devonta Freeman and Ty Montgomery have a chance to play this week, but for now, we’ve left them off the rankings. Of course, both players will have a big impact on Tevin Coleman and Jamaal Williams, respectively. We saw two major injuries in Week 11 with Chris Thompson and D’Onta Foreman suffering nasty season-ending ailments. Thompson’s injury boosted Samaje Perine, adding in his solid matchup, into the top 20 for the first time this season, and Lamar Miller just falls outside the top 10, as he likely won’t cede as many carries to Houston’s backups....

This week, there are few waiver wire pickups who could immediately jump into starting lineups, including Rex Burkhead (@ Bills), Devontae Booker (@ Dolphins), and whoever starts for the Bucs, assuming Doug Martin is out because of a concussion. Rod Smith (vs. Redskins) is also on the start-sit bubble. Injuries, mainly to Devonta Freeman and Ty Montgomery, could shake things up. We currently have Freeman (concussion) in and Montgomery (ribs) out, but a lot can happen between now and kickoff....

But let’s face it, you’re not going to sit Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen (@ Buccaneers), Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp (vs. Patriots), Calvin Ridley (@ Chargers), Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel (vs. Washington), Terry McLaurin (@ 49ers), Jarvis Landry (vs. Ravens), or JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, and Diontae Johnson (@ Bills) despite their tough statistical matchups. You could make a case for sitting some of those guys in standard leagues, but in PPR, they simply have too high of floors....

The highlight of the week is the crucial matchup between Saints and the Falcons, which also features the highest game total of the week at 53 points. Ezekiel Elliot returns for the Cowboys, who must win against the depleted Seahawks to keep their playoff hopes alive. The highest team total of the week belongs to the Patriots (29.3 points), as they take on the Bills at home in a matchup that will heavily focus on the Gronk/Bills feud....

Those new RB2s will include the likes of Le’Veon Bell, Darrell Henderson, Jeff Wilson Jr., and Leonard Fournette. If you are lucky enough to own any of these players, they will be worth starting, with Fournette looking like a particularly solid play in an elite matchup against the Lions. Beyond those players, there is still tons of receiver depth, per usual, but some players in great matchups will move up a bit ahead of what some may consider the bigger names at the position....

Check back for live weather updates during our Sunday morning start/sit chat. Rainy Conditions Possible: These games have at least a 30 percent chance of rain. Browns at Packers (58 percent chance of rain) Rain could lead to a wet track and cause these teams to rely more heavily on the running game and short passes. Rain shouldn't be an issue unless it comes down heavily for a short period....

Four top-10 teams lost in Week 7. Georgia suffered its first loss of the season at LSU and shook up the SEC race. West Virginia fell from the ranks of the unbeaten in the Big 12. Washington and Penn State each suffered a second loss, which opened the door for some new contenders heading into the third week of October.

With a pair of banged-up/backup QBs going on Thursday for the Dolphins-Texans game, you can bet theree will be plenty of sacks and turnovers. The Cardinals-49ers matchup also figures to be a brutal offensive display, though we have a hard time recommending the 49ers defense. The Bears-Jets game should also feature two worthwhile fantasy units, and we tentatively have both the Eagles and Jaguars as recommended starts in the UK, though the Jags are debatable....
