Unfortunately for fantasy football managers who managed to identify the absolute gem which is the Minnesota Vikings’ defense — the No. 1 D/ST on the season — they’ll be on a bye in Week 6, which means pivoting to other options who are actually, you know, playing.

Kate Magdziuk shares her Week 6 wide receiver rankings for standard scoring leagues and highlights several streaming options.
Fantasy football managers may find themselves in a tough spot in Week 6 with several key wide receivers either injured or on a bye, including Justin Jefferson (bye), Amon-Ra St. Brown (bye), Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua (both injured and on a bye), Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (bye and without Tua Tagovailoa), Nico Collins (injury), Rashee Rice (injury) … yeah, you get the picture. Tough luck.
The kicker position is a tricky one if you don’t have the biggest names. Linda Godfrey offers streaming advice for the position in Week 6.
We did it. We survived the first week of byes. I told you last week that we would either sink or swim and if you took my advice last week, baby we were like Katie Ledecky out there. Chase McLaughlin, Wil Lutz, and Cam Little all finished with double-digit fantasy performances. Greg Zuerlein and Daniel Carlson finished with only five points on the week.
The Indiana Fever employs the most marketable and popular women’s basketball player on the planet, Caitlin Clark. The team’s new president recognizes the franchise’s gold mine opportunity, and she’s thinking big – as in Apple big – moving forward.
Kelly Krauskopf, who returns to her role as the Fever’s president after holding the same title from 2000 to 2017, laid out her plans to build the franchise into something that mirrors the world’s largest tech company during her introductory press conference.

The annual NBA GM poll is great at generating debate, but less useful at providing actual information.
The annual GM poll on NBA.com should be a window into how the league’s top executives view its top players and coaches. Except it’s not. It’s actually an episode of Glee from 2010 called “Grilled Cheesus.”
This episode deals with “motivated perception,” a fancy psychological term that just means if you stare at something for long enough, you’ll eventually see what you want to see.

Falcons’ late-game hero and Taylor Swift’s backup dancer’s brother headline Week 5’s Secret Superstars
Every week in the NFL, the big news generally surrounds the game’s greatest superstars doing what they do. But it’s just as sure that every week, there will be unknown and under-the-radar guys who rise up out of seemingly nowhere to make their names better-known with impressive exploits.
Here are our Secret Superstars for Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season – the players whose games deserve more praise than they’ve received.
Welcome back to Fantasy Focus!
While Floridians – myself included – spent the day Tuesday battening down the hatches for Hurricane Milton, the rest of America, and I assume our friends in Canada, were feverishly googling who in the world the newest Seattle Kracken assistant coach was.
Jessica Campbell, for those still searching (or who used Bing).
Campbell became the first NHL female coach in history Tuesday when she took her spot on Seattle’s bench (do they call it that in hockey?), and buddy, she grabbed the internet’s attention in a way I haven’t seen in quite some time.
Work sucks … unless you’re singing “All the Small Things” with a sold out Padres crowd during the MLB Playoffs.
The San Diego Padres might be the hottest team in baseball as the 2024 MLB Playoffs heat up. Blink-182 is somehow still one of the hottest rock bands in the world, selling out arenas everywhere more than two decades after their peak. Blink got its start in the early ‘90s playing pop-punk in and around San Diego.
