If navigating injuries wasn’t hard enough, fantasy managers must now factor in bye weeks. These are the players that can plug the glaring holes in your roster for Week 5.

Here’s what you need to know about how to watch Monday Night Football.

With Lionel Messi taking the U.S. by storm, soccer fans are about to get a new look at the Argentina legend with a documentary series from Apple TV+.
The streaming service announced that the series, titled Messi Meets America, will premiere on Oct. 11 with three episodes of the six-part saga, with further installments to come intermittently throughout the remainder of the MLS season. 
The series, produced by SMUGGLER Entertainment in association with MLS, chronicles Messi’s summer arrival at Inter Miami less than a year after winning the World Cup with Argentina.

Deion Sanders and Colorado football are the hottest topics on the college football landscape this season. While the Buffaloes have suffered losses in back-to-back weeks, the Pro Football Hall of Famer remains a marquee storyline due to constant media exposure as well as high-profile celebrities attending games in Boulder.
While Sanders’s personality and football program have captivated the nation’s attention, it has not entirely captured the state of Colorado.

Amid rumors about star Giannis Antetokounmpo’s frustration with the franchise, the Bucks took a swing for seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard—and pulled off a massive three-team deal to do so. The home run move by Milwaukee sent Jrue Holiday, a 2029 first-round pick and pick swaps in 2028 and ’30 to the Trail Blazers. The third team involved in the deal, the Suns, will acquire a handful of players from Portland, along with Grayson Allen from Milwaukee. The Blazers will acquire Deandre Ayton.

One of the beautiful aspects of professional sports is that hitting rock bottom comes with a hefty consolation prize. This was the case last season for the Chicago Bears, who acquired the No. 1 overall draft pick by finishing the season with the NFL’s worst record.

The Cincinnati Bengals offense is struggling. Part of the reason is the health of quarterback Joe Burrow. Despite his lingering calf issue, head coach Zac Taylor has no plans to rest the quarterback to get him healthy.
In fact, when asked if he planned on Burrow starting Sunday against the Cardinals, Taylor laughed, said “yeah” and then added, “that’s a strange question.”
Another reporter asked if Burrow is “healthy enough to run a good offense.”
“Oh yeah,” Taylor responded.

Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay says he apologized to Zach Wilson after their game on Sunday night over some comments he made about the Jets quarterback leading into the Week 4 matchup.
Speaking with reporters on Monday, Gay confirmed that he sought out Wilson after Kansas City’s narrow win on Sunday in order to clear the air over his comments.
“Told him he’s a great player and I didn’t mean anything like that. But he knew that already. I just wanted to talk to him myself,” said Gay of his conversation with Wilson, via Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

The Bucks look like the NBA’s Eastern Conference favorites with the powerhouse combination of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
But Milwaukee could miss defensive stopper Jrue Holiday, whom the Bucks had to ship out as part of the deal to acquire Lillard. Holiday’s own peers voted for him as the NBA’s top defensive player in an anonymous poll conducted last season by The Athletic. 
The Bucks’ expectation likely is for Lillard’s scoring prowess and playmaking ability to make up for any shortcomings on the defensive end.
