Was Deshaun Watson your starting quarterback in fantasy football? If so, we feel for you. The Houston Texans rookie quarterback has taken the league by storm in his first year, and he’s also been one of the best fantasy QBs in the game. But the 22-year-old tore his ACL in practice Thursday, and likely is out for the season. So where do fantasy owners go from here? Hopefully you had a capable backup ready on your bunch. But if not, here are three quarterbacks worth targeting on the waiver-wire (warning: There’s not much out there): Tyrod Taylor, Buffalo BillsThe Bills signal-caller is the personification of a streaming ...

Granado to line up for Forward Racing in 2018
Giovanni Cuzari, Team Owner: “With Eric, our rider duo for the upcoming season is complete now and I can’t be happier to have such a promising pairing inside our garage. I’m sure, that he is the right choice for us, as he has already shown great determination and some outstanding performances, especially this year in the European Championship. We were amazed to watch him this year and it’s a logical consequence to offer him this possibility as the CEV is already highly-competitive and serves to prepare young talents. Eric has displayed exactly this with five victories and eight podiums in 2017 until now, therefore he’s the kind of rider a team in the World Championship has to look for, cultivate
Bubba Wallace Keeping Head Down After Tough Year: ‘I’m Not Done Yet’
Darrell Wallace Jr. has endured one of the most trying years of his career thus far in 2017, but the low points only have spurred him on to keep pursuing his dream. In a blog post for NASCAR.com on Friday, Wallace revealed that his 2017 season, with all its peaks and valleys, has given him a new perspective on his career. “I’m continuing to look at this trying season as a building block that will aid me in my next steps in racing,” Wallace wrote. “Making appearances at the track just to keep relevant in a very fast-moving sport. “Because I’m not done yet.” Although Wallace failed to reach victory lane, he started
“Faster than last year”: riders ready to take on Silverstone
Ahead of track action on Friday for the Octo British Grand Prix, the Pre-Event Press Conference got the ball rolling at Silverstone, with Championship leader Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) joined by Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team), Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP), Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team), Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda), a Union Jack-wearing Scott Redding (Octo Pramac Racing) and Tom Lüthi (CarXpert Interwetten). Talk focused on the challenge of the long, fast Silverstone Circuit, and a few questions about the weather – as always when touching down for the British GP. Source link
Into the lion's den: who will rule Britannia?
As the rounds remaining decrease and the gap to the top trends the opposite way for Viñales of late, the rider from Roses will similarly be ready for a showdown. Not having shared the podium with Marquez all year despite the two being key title contenders, Silverstone may well see that statistic finally change. Viñales won the race – his first in the premier class – last year, and in some style. If the weather is cooler but remains dry, the script of 2017 so far tells us that could play more in favour of the Movistar Yamaha team. Outside the Championship top three for the first time this year after Austria, there’s never a better place to stage a
Women’s Player of the Year: the case for Marozsán
Dzsenifer Marozsán is the first player to appear on a third UEFA Women's Player of the Year award shortlist and it is no surprise after her part in Lyon's UEFA Women's Champions League success. Third in the voting in 2014/15 and 2015/16, Marozsán moved from FFC Frankfurt to Lyon last summer and ended the season with a treble of UEFA Women's Champions league and domestic league and cup. Player of the match as Lyon beat Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in the UEFA Women's Champions League final in Cardiff, Marozsán was voted both French and German women's player of the year.
“Very, very fast”: riders weigh in on high-speed Spielberg
Marquez was first to speak – feeling good about the weekend and quietly optimistic it will be an improvement on 2016: “We’ve come straight from Brno to here, and still the good feeling is there with a good feeling in the Monday test. We’ll see, last year it was a weekend where we struggled more, but last year we didn’t test here, and this year we’ve improved our acceleration a bit. Looks like the weather will be unstable so it will be important to always make the right steps, just trying to get the best setup for Sunday. The Red Bull Ring is a really special circuit, hard braking and acceleration. We’ll see if this year we can find the
