Don’t foolishly rely on rankings from a magazine bought in early June or the gleeful tones of a local sports announcer who’ll make you believe in a player who has no chance of making the roster. As the preseason kicks into overdrive, keep these draft board risers in mind: PEYTON BARBER, RB, Buccaneers: Rookie Ronald Jones II has struggled with pass blocking, which could give more carries to Barber, who came into camp 13 pounds lighter and determined to keep his starting job....

UPDATE 9/28: Gordon is expected to be on a “limited” snap count against Miami, according to USA Today’s Mike Jones. Even limited touches against the Dolphins can yield legit fantasy results, but Gordon would still be a risky fantasy option in Week 4. UPDATE: 9/29: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Gordon will only play in an “emergency” in Week 4, but he will be active. Whether or not Gordon is active, Ekeler is a must-start in Week 4 against the Dolphins’ terrible defense....

A few notes on tonight’s playbook: *I BOLDED some players who are better plays on a particular site. *Expect some fireworks at Coors Field. *I don’t have much exposure to the Tigers tonight despite the seemingly favorable matchup with CC Sabathia. Sabathia has pitched better this season despite the numbers and just couldn’t fit some of them in. They are not bad plays, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them quiet tonight....

First revealed to be in development back in 2019, there’s been a lot of rumors flying around about BioShock 4. The biggest detail was that it’s reportedly going to be an open-world BioShock game set in Borealis, a city located in the Antarctic, and that it will be titled BioShock Isolation. The information is based on leaks, so players should take them with a grain of salt. Other details, like the characters and whether it’s going to be set in the same universe as the previous games, are still under wraps....

There is one obvious twist that Ubisoft will need to avoid when crafting Far Cry 6’s story, however. It’s a twist that has been used in several other games, including previous installments in the Far Cry series. It may also be an extremely tempting twist to turn down considering the plot of the next game. RELATED: 10 Story-Heavy Open-World Games To Play While Waiting For Far Cry 6 The Twist In Far Cry 3, the player character arrives on the Rook Islands for a vacation, is kidnapped, escapes, and eventually begins helping the native Rakyat people fight back against the pirates and drug-traffickers who have taken over much of their homeland....

Narratives in recent Far Cry games have focused on placing the villain center stage, but a character relationship like the promising father-son dynamic in Far Cry 6 hasn’t been done by the series previously. While Far Cry 5 dealt with a whole extended Seed family, they all largely stayed confined to their respective regions as isolated villains. Diego is an impressionable teenager who, as far as what’s been shown publicly so far, isn’t a cold-blooded villain just yet....

While the Xbox Series X will take most of he headlines, there were a number of new games revealed, one of which being a new Fast and Furious spin-off. Crossroads will aim to make you feel like you’re in control of one of the main characters, as they experience all the full-throttle action we have come to associate with the franchise. This is the first FAF game to be made by Slightly Mad Studios, the UK developer behind Project Cars and older Need for Speed titles....

It is time to pick your squad for Matchday 2 where Delhi Daredevils face off against Kings XI Punjab in the day game today, and Kolkata Knight Riders face off the Royal Challengers Bangalore, later in the evening. All four teams revamped their line-ups significantly in the auction. Here are some of our suggestions for you to consider while picking your squad today. 5 Best Value for Money players:...

In recent seasons, high scoring midfielders have bridged that gap but since the fantasy game is one for the goals; the forward options will always end up high on the price front. This doesn’t mean that you cannot find ones that are cheap yet are regular goal grabbers. Every season regularly throws up a number of underrated forwards who perform above expectations. Due to the brilliance of Salah last season, midfielders finished above forwards on points scored last term....

Midfield options in the FPL have again proven to be reliable high scorers. Eden Hazard listed in midfield is the highest points scorer in the game so far. Also, budget value options such as Ryan Fraser and Pereyra have surprisingly provided a decent return. Another thing to note is that Fantasy big hitter Kevin de Bruyne is back into FPL contention after his return from injury. It would be interesting to see if he provides a transfer worthy return in the coming weeks....

As we’ve written, forwards are the linchpins of fantasy success, in large part because there are few who can consistently deliver the kind of fantasy performance that leads to big victories. As it turns out, many Premier League teams search in vain for match winners at the tip of their attacks, as well. Here are the five best forwards, outside of our overall top five, who we think will help you reach the summit....

Last year you guys made the Fantasy Alarm DFS MLB Playbook a hit. Although, I suppose me and Ted Schuster should take a little of the credit as we did post the actual lineups that won us qualifiers to the DFBC & PFBC live final championships in 2014. We also had confirmed winnings of more than $1.045 million from our users last season. Now whether you use the entire Playbook or just parts of it, the thing that was abundantly clear is that this little Playbook of ours helped you win money....
