The NFL regular season has finally arrived! Sunday NFL Funday.Fantasy football style is less than 24 hours away, and there is no better way to kick it off than with a win. So, lets get started! Top fantasy news and notes as we get closer to Sunday:Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski has been scratched from Week 1, so get another tight end in your lineup NOW.Seahawks RB Christine Michael will start for Seattle over Thomas Rawls, so pick up Michael off your waiver wire if available.Vikings QB Shaun Hill will start Week 1. No Sam Bradford yet.Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi didnt make the trip to Seattle, so expect a heavy dose of Arian Foster.Time for studs (beyond the obvious), duds and sleepers. Here we go:STUDSQB: Derek Carr @ New OrleansThis matchup has the potential to be a shootout in the Big Easy. The Saints defense allowed 19 percent more fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks than any other team last season. If that trend carries over into the 2016 season, watch out.(Others: Eli Manning @ Dallas, Kirk Cousins vs. Pittsburgh)WR: Sammy Watkins @ BaltimoreWatkins has a very favorable matchup against Ravens DB Jimmy Smith on Sunday afternoon. His chemistry with QB Tyrod Taylor will be on tap in Charm City. I love Watkins this week.(Others: Amari Cooper @ New Orleans, Golden Tate vs. Indianapolis)RB: Lamar Miller vs. ChicagoMiller makes his way from Miami to Houston, where he is expected to be featured more, and gets a good matchup in Week 1 against the Bears. Miller is a RB1. If you own him, play him.(Others: Doug Martin @ Atlanta, Carlos Hyde vs. Los Angeles)TE: Travis Kelce vs. San DiegoKelce had over 100 targets last season, and perhaps more of those targets take place in the red zone in 2016. Last year, San Diego allowed a little more than seven fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.(Others: Coby Fleener vs. Oakland, Gary Barnidge @ Philadelphia, Zach Ertz vs. Cleveland)DUDSQB: Philip Rivers @ Kansas CityThe Chiefs defense was great last season. Is it as good in 2016? Time will tell. Rivers was held without a passing score in three games last year, and two of those games were against Kansas City. Its evident the Chiefs have his number. Give me a different gunslinger on Sunday.WR: Julian Edelman @ ArizonaEdelman has a few things going against him Sunday. No Tom Brady and a matchup against the Cardinals DBs. Jimmy Garoppolo will be at the helm for the first four weeks for the Pats, and the jury is still out on how well hell play. Arizonas Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu are some of the best defensive backs in the business.RB: Jeremy Hill @ New York JetsHill will be the main back for the Bengals, with Giovani Bernard sprinkled in for a change of pace and to help in the passing game. However, Week 1 is against the Jets, who gave up the fewest rushing yards and just two rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs last season.TE: Antonio Gates @ Kansas CityGates has only scored one touchdown in his last nine games against the Chiefs. Kansas City allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season. The numbers dont look good for this NFL senior citizen.SLEEPERSQB: Matthew Stafford @ IndianapolisThe Colts cornerback department is one of the worst in the NFL. To make matters worse, DB Vontae Davis is out for Week 1. This shootout will play well for Stafford, and he has the potential to put up top 5 QB fantasy numbers come Sunday.(Honorable mention: Taylor @ Baltimore)WR: Eric Decker vs. CincinnatiDecker scored 12 touchdowns last season. Ryan Fitzpatrick likes to target Decker when the Jets are in the red zone, and he has a favorable matchup this week against the Bengals. Decker is a solid WR2 this week.(Honorable mentions: Marvin Jones vs. Indianapolis, Donte Moncrief vs. Detroit)RB: DeAngelo Williams @ WashingtonWilliams has three weeks to crush it until LeVeon Bell returns from suspension. Williams shined last season when given the spotlight, and the expectations are he will do the same this season. Washington allowed the ninth-most rushing yards to opposing running backs last season.(Honorable mentions: Spencer Ware vs. San Diego, Michael vs. Miami)TE: Clive Walford @ New OrleansWalford is still available in a little over 60 percent of ESPN leagues. If you own Gronk, who is a no-go in Week 1, grab Walford off the waiver wire now. He has a great matchup against a Saints defense that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season.(Honorable mention: Jared Cook @ Jacksonville)Good luck in Week 1!Cheap Air Max 1 . Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set. Air Max Plus Clearance .

A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night.

Lebron James Shoes In Order . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. Outlet Air Max 1 . Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199. Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66.CLEVELAND -- Addison Russell lofted a fly ball in the first inning, and right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall converged with center fielder Tyler Naquin.Probably an easy play in a half-filled ballpark on a hot summer night, the 284-foot fly turned into a disorienting disaster for the Cleveland Indians?on Tuesday night during Game 6 of the World Series.With a loud, raucous crowd packing Progressive Field in hopes of witnessing Clevelands first World Series title since 1948, the ball hung in the air for 5 seconds. Chisenhall pulled up and looked at the onrushing Naquin, who was a few feet behind him.A 25-year-old rookie who made his debut on opening day, Naquin had no chance by then to make the catch. The ball bounced past him for a two-run double, as Anthony Rizzo scored and then Ben Zobrist?--?who bowled over Indians catcher Roberto Perez.The Chicago Cubs?had built a three-run lead before Jake Arrieta threw his first pitch.It counts as a hit, which I was totally stoked, Russell said. I thought that was going to be kind of a routine play.Far from it.Cleveland never recovered, and Chicago coasted to a 9-3 win that forced the World Series to a deciding Game 7.Kind of one of those deals you wish you could take back, Naquin said. Me being the center fielder, I need to take charge on that.Even after the game, the sequence of what happened was unclear. Naquin said both players called for the ball. Chisenhall said neither did.Baseball practice dictates that corner outfielders defer to their teammate in center.Its Naquins ball. He was playing on that side, and hes the center fielder, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I think at the end there, as Lonnie was kind of pulling off, Naquin was yelling, Its yours. You got it.Chisenhall, a 28-year-old converted third baseman in his sixth big league season, appeared to follow protocol.Still, he shouldered the blame.I should have caught that ball. I made the aggressive move on it, Chisenhall said. The balls moving towards me, and somebodys got to catch it. It should have been me.He said he saw me moving towards the ball, and I should have continued my route, and I kind of felt him coming, so I pulled up. But I should have kept going.By the third inning, Chisenhall did take charge and cut in front of Naquin to catch Kris Bryants fly with a runner on as the center fielder slid behind him.ddddddddddddYouve got to catch the ball. You cant let another one drop, so you risk making a collision, Chisenhall said. We talked about it. We were both avid about not letting the ball hit the grass.Chisenhall and Naquin had a long discussion during a pitching change later in the inning, joined by left fielder Coco Crisp. Naquin said he suggested they use their arms as flippers to signal each other.Three pitches later, Russell hit a grand slam off Dan Otero for a seven-run Cubs lead.Naquin, the 15th overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft, hit .296 with 14 home runs and 43 RBIs during the regular season but is 4-for-25 (.160) with two RBIs in the postseason, including a strikeout that left the bases loaded in the fourth on Tuesday night.In the crucible of the World Series, defense can go awry.Last year, the Royals?Alcides Escobar drove the first pitch of the World Series to the left-center warning track, where Mets center fielder Yoenis Cespedes and left fielder Michael Conforto came together. The ball ricocheted off one of Cespedes feet and rolled along the fence, as Escobar sped around the bases for the second inside-the-park homer to lead off a World Series game.A year earlier, San Francisco center fielder Gregor Blanco allowed Kansas City batter?Alex Gordons two-out single to bounce past him for an error that put the potential tying run at third base with two outs in the ninth inning; some questioned whether Royals third-base coach Mike Jirschele should have waved Gordon home. Madison Bumgarner then retired Salvador Perez on a foul out, saving the Giants 3-2 win in Game 7.And with Game 7 in 1968 scoreless in the seventh inning, Detroits Jim Northrup hit a two-on, two-out drive that was misjudged by St. Louis center fielder Curt Flood and fell behind him for a two-run triple. The Tigers held on for a 4-1 victory behind Mickey Lolich, the last pitcher to win three starts in a single World Series.Cleveland ace Corey Kluber will try to match that feat in Game 7 on Wednesday night.Weve just got to win the game tomorrow, Chisenhall said. I think we leave winners, people will remember that. ' ' '
