WHICH UNDER THE RADAR PLAYERS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR A BIG GAME THIS WEEK? Several Washington players — quarterback Alex Smith, running back Adrian Peterson, wide receiver Maurice Harris and tight end Vernon Davis — all have the potential to post big numbers this week against the Buccaneers. The Bucs are top 6 or better in fantasy points allowed to each of the main offensive positions. Smith isn’t a prototypical fantasy quarterback but the Bucs have given up multiple TDs to the position in six straight games....

At this point in the evolution of daily fantasy baseball, using offensive park factors is fairly common practice, and the edge is reduced in knowing parks in Colorado, Texas, and Cincinnati are offensive boons while parks in San Francisco and Pittsburgh favor the pitcher. But one area of park factors that is seldom discussed is their effect on strikeouts. A close look at the data shows that certain parks inflate strikeout totals while other parks suppress strikeout totals due to some combination of several factors: amount of foul territory, elevation, batter’s eye, and potentially other small, unknown but impactful factors....

Who’s Not: After starting the year on fire, Jeff Locke managed a 6.12 ERA in 57.1 second-half innings. His season ERA looks good at 3.52, but that was just because he was yanked from the rotation before he could completely ruin it. … Free agent pitcher A.J. Burnett says he will retire if he doesn’t come to an agreement with the Pirates. Considering Burnett had a 3.30 ERA with a 9....

Gordon has obviously battled off-field issues throughout his career, but he’s been mostly productive when he’s been on the field. He played 11 games for the Patriots in 2018, catching 40 balls for 720 yards and three touchdowns. His 11.3 yards per attempt his way is the highest connection with Brady in the Pro Football Focus era, per their @PFF Twitter account. During the offseason, Brady posted video on his Instagram of working out with Gordon....

TRY NBA DRAFTKINGS: Free entry to $500 contest! The NBA is officially back with 13 games on the slate for Friday night. A lot of players are not going to be suiting up tonight because of all the trades that were made during Thursday’s trade deadline, which will open up value plays across the board.

Less than a decade later, young women are flocking to women’s colleges and girls’ schools because they are single-sex. Barnard College’s essays for fall admission read like the Gloria Steinem (Smith ‘56) handbook: “Barnard interested me because of its empowering all-female environment,” one high-school senior wrote in her application. “Because it is a women’s college, [Barnard] would prepare me to deal with the hardships that come with being a female doctor,” wrote another....

One of these characters, Bicho, has a special Far Cry 6 mission called “Radio Libertad,” where he wishes to fight back against Castillo by preaching to the people. His goal is to overtake the propaganda radio broadcast and put his own message to educate people about what’s really going on. RELATED: Far Cry 6: The Emerald Skull Treasure Hunt Guide Sadly, his current radio signal is too weak, so he needs players to hijack the connection to three nearby radio towers in faraway places....

The game’s story mode also has the star power of having Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito playing the role of that dictator, Anton Castillo. The antagonist in Far Cry games have played a large role in the series ever since Far Cry 3’s Vaas become an iconic character. While this has had a positive impact on Far Cry games overall, such as Far Cry 6 featuring DLC that includes previous villains, it also has led to new entries in the series being compared to previous entries when they release....

In fact, players hoping to get a villain like Vaas will likely be disappointed. From what has been revealed so far, Far Cry 6’s Anton Castillo has more in common with Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5 and New Dawn than Far Cry 3’s main villain. RELATED: Ubisoft Pattern May Suggest One Big Change to Far Cry 6 Anton, Joseph, And Paradise Anton Castillo is the iron-fisted dictator of Yara, the Cuba-inspired setting for the upcoming game....

In order to discover the fate of what many consider to be the best companion characters in Far Cry 5, players will need to go searching into the depths of The FANG Centre, which is located in the southwestern region of the map, just north of the home base, Prosperity. The FANG Centre, which is a church, has a tunnel located behind it which leads underground. Once the player reaches the back of the tunnel, they will find a large coffin with a giant piece of concrete covering it....

The reveal was one of 10 premieres to take place at The Game Awards last night, including new Uncharted 4 footage and the announcement of Psychonauts 2. Although the gameplay trailer was exciting, it’s not the only thing Ubisoft has revealed about the game. The company has now announced Far Cry Primal DLC, and the game’s Collector’s Edition too. The Far Cry Primal downloadable content, Ubisoft says, is comprised of four ‘Legend of the Mammoth’ missions, a resource pack and an exclusive weapon....

It’s here now though and, if the new trailer highlights anything, it seems it will be for a long time, with the footage’s final moments confirming that Fast and Furious: Crossroads will have a season pass. According to Steam, the pack will include “new cars, customization items and more,” as well as “Owen Shaw’s Flip Car and inimitable Toyota Supra.” RELATED: The 10 Worst Movie-Based Games (According To Metacritic)...
