The “key bye” we’re referring to is fantasy’s top RB, Jonathan Taylor. He’ll be out this week along with Myles Gaskin, New England’s duo of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, and Philadelphia’s mess of a committee. Overall, it’s not a terrible week for RB byes, but there’s never a good time to lose a guy like Taylor, especially if you need to survive and advance. WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

Who’s Not: After an impressive rookie season, Yoenis Cespedes came back down to Earth. Don’t let that scare you too far away though. Cespedes showed signs late in the year of getting back on track. Who’s Hurt: Josh Reddick was hampered by a wrist injury in 2013 — perhaps explaining his dreadful numbers — and underwent successful surgery to fix the issue. He’ll be worth a flyer late in drafts this spring....

The Playbook had a huge night Monday, but it is time to focus on Tuesday’s short slate of games (four). The point guard position is a no-brainer because Russell Westbrook is a must-start whenever Kevin Durant doesn’t play and Reggie Jackson is going to be starting for the Pistons and he’ll destroy his value. The shooting guard position actually has a good amount of talent tonight as Klay Thompson and Monta Ellis both have high ceilings....

RELATED: Every Far Cry Game To Date, Ranked Worst To Best (According To Metacritic) Hope County’s local dialects range from English to lead bullets with a hint of C4 explosions in the accent. That’s how players need to communicate in Far Cry 5. In order to speak with the locals, players will need the best tools for the job. So if players want to say pew pew or kaboom in place of “hello,” these weapons ought to make conversations flow smoothly....

As seen below, the plot for this Far Cry 5 expansion revolves around Hurk requesting Nick’s help on the planet Mars. Players will apparently do battle against an alien race in order to “thwart an alien invasion of Earth,” according to the official description of the Lost on Mars DLC. Facing down these arachnid-like enemies, players will also be attempting to restore power to ANNE - “a futuristic AI who represent humanity’s last line of defense....

Far Cry may be known for its central villainous performances, but there’s one character who plays a hugely underappreciated role. Hurk Drubman, Jr. may be a hired gun, a slob, a moron, and an opportunist, but he could also be the key to unlocking the Far Cry continuity. If Ubisoft leaves him out of Far Cry 6, the studio will be making a huge mistake. RELATED: Far Cry 6 Will Likely Be the Crown Jewel of E3’s Ubisoft Forward Event...

Looking over achievements can, of course, give someone a general glimpse into what any DLC or game, for that matter, will include. Unfortunately, looking over the achievements for Far Cry 6’s Pagan Min: Control DLC doesn’t exactly invite confidence in it. It’s worth mentioning that Far Cry 6’s Vaas DLC knocked it out of the park, thanks to the way that the roguelike genre really compliments Vaas’ own brand of insanity....

Rotting garbage in the streets of Naples has shown the world how Italy’s public sector fails its citizens. There are other examples. For instance, Italy’s official economic statistics are a mess. The Italian data show that the country’s economy expanded by an average of 0.9 percent in the last seven years, far behind the 2.1 percent for the rest of Western Europe. Even worse, in the age of rampant globalization, Italy barely managed to raise its export volumes at all, while its Western European peers boosted foreign sales by a total of 40 percent....

Muhammad, 31, was identified by New York Police Department (NYPD) officials as the person of interest in the May 8 shooting. He remained at large for four days before being apprehended by law enforcement. “While there is no joy today, there is justice,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a press conference. Authorities, including members of the U.S. Marshals Service, caught up with Muhammad and his girlfriend just outside of Jacksonville....

The Amazfit X is a new curved smartwatch from Chinese wearable giant Huami, first revealed at IFA 2019 but now available through Indiegogo where it’s smashed through its crowdfunding target. Meanwhile Samsung has teased work on a whopping 600Mp camera sensor, and Dom gives his thoughts on the iPhone SE 2020 ahead of his full review on the site.

Lewis has been using the iPhone 12 for a week so he’s ready to give the Tech Advisor verdict on Apple’s latest, along with his first thoughts from a day or two on the 12 Pro. Meanwhile OnePlus has continued swinging for the budget market with two new Nord models, the N10 and N100, but they look suspiciously similar to some other Oppo and Realme phones we know… And finally there’s at long last good news for Huawei, as it looks like US firms may be able to trade with the company again, just not with its 5G telecoms division – so the company’s smartphone arm might be OK....

Before we get into potential replacements, let’s settle it once and for all: Unless your starting lineup is absolutely set and you have a roster spot to play with – either because of injury or another weird reason – you should drop both Tucker and Carlson. As much as it might pain you to see them on someone else’s team, carrying multiple kickers is wasteful. There are always players with more potential value, whether they’re handcuffs or bye-week fill-ins for later in the season....

The main slate contests on FanDuel and DraftKings feature just one game with a total above 50 points as the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots both try to secure their playoff positioning. For daily fantasy contests this will be a popular game to target and there are a few different ways to approach it. Jaylen Samuels remains a viable option again this week if James Conner sits. While coach Mike Tomlin suggested that the Steelers would use a committee approach, it was Samuels who saw 80 percent of snaps last week against the Oakland Raiders, including seven targets in the passing game....

We’re now seven Gameweeks into the FPL season, so the cracks in your defence will have begun to show by now. If you’re not quite sure where to start in terms of making repairs, then you’ve come to the right place. Coming up is a list of the 10 best defenders that you can put into your squad.
