Per usual, injuries continued to rack up, with Julio Jones (knee) and Michael Pittman (quad) getting scratched late in the week and Jerry Jeudy (ribs) exiting early. Michael Gallup (knee), Van Jefferson (knee), Rondale Moore (hamstring), Chris Godwin (calf), and Keenan Allen (hamstring) also all failed to suit up in Week 2, but a few seem to be trending in the right direction as Week 3 approaches. Godwin and Jefferson figure to miss another week, but we’ll continue to monitor their statuses and adjust our rankings if needed....

The game’s announcement certainly skirted controversial territory. Set in the fictional Hope County, Montana, Far Cry 5 will cast the player as a deputy sheriff pitted against Eden’s Gate, a militaristic doomsday cult led by preacher Joseph Seed, the game’s antagonist. In a political climate fraught with tension, Far Cry 5’s announcement received immediate criticism from some, and many speculated about whether the game’s choice of setting was politically motivated....

Far Cry 6 will see the player take on the role of Dani Rojas as they fight for the freedom of Yara, a fictional island nation in the Caribbean Sea. Far Cry 6 has differs seriously from Far Cry 5 with everything revealed so far, these differences may mean big things for what fans can expect from the next installment of Ubisoft’s iconic single-player FPS series.

This isn’t a mistake or oversight. This contrast allows the developers to make the outlandish aspects feel more impactful. Far Cry 6’s most explosive weapons and gear feel powerful because they’re shooting at recognizable targets. RELATED: Far Cry 6: How to Get More Leaders Far Cry 6’s most exciting gear are the Supremos: high-tech backpacks that give the player special abilities. The first Supremo the player gets, the Exterminador, unleashes a missile barrage, and their abilities only get more useful from there....

For some players, it’s easy to forget just how involved developers are when making any given game. Over the years, there have been several games that feature tributes to members of the development team. For instance, in the Borderlands 3: Bounty of Blood DLC, there’s an Easter Egg that has a gigantic picture of the development team on the wall, symbolizing the team’s interpersonal relationships before the COVID-19 pandemic first began....

One of these is Recrooster, which carges Far Cry 6 players to collect all roosters. This seems like a strange task, since roosters are not the first item players would think of as collectibles in a Far Cry game, unless they’re for foood. But it turns out they are for something else entirely: a mini-game that will make many heads spin. RELATED: Ubisoft Toronto Already Working on New Project Ahead of Far Cry 6 Release...

This week will see the return of 2020 Farmers Insurance winner Marc Leishman as he tries to win the event for the second time in his career. If he achieves that feat, he would be the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2005-08) to earn consecutive tournament victories. Speaking of which: Tiger will not be in attendance at the event — neither will several top-tier golfers — as he recovers from recent back surgery....

The funny thing is we actually do care about Week 17 stats – just not now. But those stats can affect our decisions on draft day next year. Think about it. There will be a point in your draft next year when you’re scanning through names. You’ll come across a player, look at his 2014 numbers, and think, “Huh…I didn’t realize he was that good last year.” That’s probably because you shut your brain off after Week 16 and didn’t factor in the 100 yards and two touchdowns that player had in a “meaningless” Week 17 game....

49ers RB Carlos Hyde (foot) has already been ruled out – forcing Reggie Bush into a few start/sit lineup decisions – while the statuses of Antonio Gates (knee), John Brown (hamstrings), Anquan Boldin (hamstring), James Starks (hip), and Eric Decker (knee), among others, are still up in the air. Hopefully you planned ahead and don’t need to do any last-minute running to the waiver wire to grab some sleepers.

Our full free agent list is still being overzealous with relatively high-opportunity players like this, even if they’re not producing huge numbers. Running backs like Mark Ingram, Tyler Allgeier, and the Cardinals’ duo of Eno Benjamin and Darrel Williams all saw a good amount of carries last week thanks to other injuries, while pass-catchers like Greg Dortch, Logan Thomas, Noah Brown, Evan Engram, Hayden Hurst, Tyler Conklin, and Sterling Shepard have been involved for their teams in Weeks 1 and 2....

That said, the bulk of our full free agent list consists of Week 9 streaming recommendations. With six teams on bye (Giants, 49ers, Broncos, Browns, Steelers, Cowboys), that might have been the case no matter what, but last week’s lack of big injuries and breakouts didn’t leave us much choice. Fortunately, there are a slew of matchup-based sleepers at QB, WR, TE, and D/ST, so we’ve grouped the best options by position and put them at the end of this list....
