PATRICK CORBIN, Arizona Diamondbacks Through seven starts, Corbin has a sparkling 2.15 ERA. While our expectations rest of season should be centered around a 3.00 ERA target, most of Corbin’s early-season success has been completely justified by his underlying skill set. A year after increasing his strikeout minus walk percentage from 9.3 percent to 14.2 percent, Corbin has shockingly more than doubled that rate this year, all the way up to 29....

Even the Fantasy Source crew didn't expect those things to happen, but that doesn't stop us from breaking them down in the latest Sporting News Fantasy Source Football podcast ( Download link ). Segments include: Game Balls: “Big brother” (and two-time loser to his little brother) Brandon Marshall gets acknowledged for his game (not his mouth), the Saints’ RBs get acknowledged for learning to share (but in what order?), and Maurice Jones-Drew gets acknowledged for leading the way for “touchdown-or-bust” backs....

Gameweek 32 presents a double whammy for most fantasy managers because as many as ten teams have a double game week. Double game weeks usually mean more fun, more anticipation, and more points. So, without any further ado, we decided to help you out by picking three players that you must have for this double gameweek. #1 Raheem Sterling (MCI), 11.6m Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling is a no-brainer and starts first on the list....

There is a full midweek schedule to look forward to over the next couple of days, with three matches taking place on Tuesday and the other seven on Wednesday. It is the start of a busy spell for most clubs in the English top flight as Christmas approaches - especially the Carabao Cup quarter-finalists, who will have an extra game to contend with. With plenty of points to play for, Goal has five players to consider adding to your team as the holiday season heats up....

The Manchester United manager may be struggling, but has a perfect record against his Arsenal counterpart and has never lost to him in a competitive fixture. On the other hand, Arsenal look in great shape at the moment and if Wenger wants to finish his winless streak against his opponent, this may truly be the ideal time. Elsewhere, Chelsea and Liverpool with swashbuckling performances in the last gameweek have occupied the top two positions on the points table....

October brings a round of several interesting fixtures which might bring a lot of points to some of these players. There is an international break coming up after Gameweek 8 which would mean there are 3 rounds of Premier League matches to be played during this month. We have also taken into account the first match of November in some of the cases. Also, check out our list of top midfielders in October for points....

As we’ll do every week this season with the help of our friends at Fantasy Alarm, let’s break down the top pickups and project how much of your FAAB budget you should bid on them. DOMINATE YOUR LEAGUE: Get the Fantasy Alarm NFL Season Pass! Week 7 Fantasy FAAB Advice: Waiver wire QB pickups, streamers By Rah Kuhn, Fantasy Alarm Matt Ryan (IND). We have gotten more good weeks than bad out of Ryan in his new home, and based on his performance last week, it might be safe to say that he has acclimated himself well to Indianapolis....

We’ll have to continue to evaluate Pittsburgh’s defense, but they still should be a top unit in the NFL. Unfortunately, the offense has put them in bad spots. That said, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick (@ Steelers), who have been up and down this year, could be looking at quiet weeks. It remains to be seen who will start at QB for Denver, but Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is better for both in terms of efficiency....

Well, guys, MLB opening day is finally here. I have been waiting for this moment since last September, or at least since the NBA decided to play all sorts of games with their injury and lineup announcements. Daily fantasy baseball is back and we have a terrific slate of games to get it going on Monday. With 28 teams in action, there is no shortage of options at just about every price point....

While information may be limited when it comes to a release date for Far Cry 6, fans have been kept pretty well in the loop when it comes to the rest of the game. A great deal of information about the title can be gleaned from Far Cry 6’s announcement trailer, which functioned almost like a short film, introducing the main antagonist and setting up the main conflict of the game....

It’s fitting that one of the first in-game songs players will hear is from Die Antwoord, because the aesthetic of the band would blend right in with the colorful post-apocalyptic world of New Dawn. Here, players will find brightly-painted graffiti all around Hope County with DIY structures, vehicles, and weapons aplenty. This isn’t a world filled with inhabitants who gave up after the bombs dropped, but rather reclaimed everything in their own, new-world style....

Searching for the @getongab account, which had been the site’s official Twitter account, resulted in a message that “this account doesn’t exist” as of Friday night. In the previous hours and days, the account had posted messages claiming tech companies were stifling “free speech,” along with at least one retweet of an anecdote featuring the false claim that President Joe Biden “stole” the presidential election from former President Donald Trump....

Terrible things will surely be said about 1991, but let’s remember that within its first week it did produce a first-rate book. In fact, “Patrimony,” an artful, moving and at times very funny narrative, is Philip Roth’s best effort in more than a decade. If his recent novels have seemed overly schematic and complaining - as if Roth had exhausted the experiences he could turn into fiction - his new book develops from a new upheaval in his life....

While some gamers might question whether simulating being a farmer can be fun, the Farming Simulator series has sold over 25 million copies combined. It’s worth noting that games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing also feature aspects of farming. But while many farming simulators get things wrong, the Farming Simulator series takes mimicking the profession to a whole new level. Players must maintain and upgrade their equipment, harvest and sell crops, and raise livestock in American and European locales....

The Atletico Madrid forward was on hand to meet the Hollywood heroes at a photocall in the Spanish capital. Griezmann tired of transfer talk Filipe Luis was also in attendance to help present Diesel and Theron with their own personalised Atleti shirts. The pair were in Spain as part of the promotional tour for the eagerly-anticipated eighth instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise. Filipe Luis told reporters: “I am excited to see the actors....

Aren’t parents at least partially to blame? Parents struggle against massive odds. Children who watch TV are bombarded with food ads. Even parents who limit TV eventually take their children to movies, food stores and school, where the commercial assault is in full gear. Do schools bear responsibility? Schools have become addicted to the income of selling soft drinks and snack foods. But now major school systems are throwing out the soft drinks, and other schools are doing the same with snack foods....

The world of football has not shied away from speedsters either. Instead, they have been welcomed with open arms. In a game that is fiercely physical, speed is a gift, an asset that is not easy to come by. Just being fast is not enough though; one has to be fast with the ball at their feet as well. But the fascinating thing about the beautiful game is that there have always been players who have been blessed with speed....

Also see: Best Phone Deals We all have our own opinions on which is the best smartphone, as is evident from the comments on our best smartphones 2017 and best Android phones 2017 articles. But this doesn’t mean benchmarks don’t matter. For some people having “the best phone” is important, regardless of real-world usage. As such, we continue to run all smartphones that enter the PC Advisor Test Centre through our usual benchmarks, which look at processing performance, graphics performance and JavaScript performance....
