Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 4

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:18:28 GMT

Kudos if you started De’Von Achane (49.3 half-PPR points) last week. There aren’t many of you, but for the handful that did, he single-handedly won you your week.The same goes for Raheem Mostert (41.7 points).Basically, if you had anyone on the Miami Dolphins (70 actual points) you were in a pretty strong spot to win your Week 3 fantasy matchup.That said, week-winning performances weren’t solely reserved for Dolphins.Keenan Allen (36.5), Davante Adams (35.7), and the Buffalo D/ST (32) all delivered performances that surely had fantasy managers smiling (or, if you played against them like me, weeping).Entering Week 4, we can finally start to get rid of preseason narratives and projections in favor of the actual in-season data. Even so, it can be difficult to think rationally about the underperforming players you spent a lot of draft capital on, or to know whether your hot waiver add is legit.But don’t worry.I’ve got you covered.Every week, I’ll be listing every fantasy-relevant playe...

Tua Tagovailoa’s leadership key in Miami Dolphins’ offensive success

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:18:28 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Mike McDaniel has noticed the change in Tua Tagovailoa: His jovial nature on the Miami Dolphins’ sideline during games. His air of determination in practices and even walkthroughs. His elevated confidence when speaking with his teammates. All of it plays a role in the fourth-year quarterback’s output on game days, McDaniel said Wednesday, adding that much of Tagovailoa’s growth on the field has started with internal work each week.“He’s starting to see the power that he holds at that position,” McDaniel said, “when you are in charge of giving the play and executing each and every play with ball-handling and assignments. But what it can do for teammates … You have a group of people that, ‘Wow, how I work and then what my talents are, those combined have residual effects on a lot of people’s journeys.’ So I think he’s very much leaning into and enjoying that more.”Tagovailoa is leading an offense that ranks first in the league in near...

Biden vetoes 2 Republican-led bills to undo prairie chicken, bat protections

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:18:28 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has vetoed Republican-sponsored bills to undo federal protections for two endangered species that have seen their populations plummet over the years: the lesser prairie chicken and northern long-eared bat.The two GOP measures would overturn “science-based rulemaking" that offers important protections for the once-abundant species and would undermine the Endangered Species Act, Biden said. “The lesser prairie-chicken serves as an indicator for healthy grasslands and prairies, making the species an important measure of the overall health of America’s grasslands,'' the White House wrote late Tuesday in a veto statement about the prairie bird. It's a member of the grouse family found in parts of the Midwest and Southwest, including the oil-rich Permian Basin in New Mexico and Texas. The bird’s range also extends into parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, and Kansas.FILE - This undated photo provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources shows a no...
