Ryan Gravenberch Rising: Liverpool’s Midfield Masterclass

Credit must go to James Pearce in The Athletic for an excellent exploration of Ryan Gravenberch’s transformation at Liverpool. His article highlights not only the Dutchman’s development but also how Arne Slot has shaped a midfielder now being hailed as the most complete in the Premier League.

The 2025 WNBA playoffs delivered the most dramatic first round possible. Three series went the distance, four games out of 11 were decided on the final possession, home teams lost four times and a 17-game winning streak snapped.
After all the chaos, the final four teams are set: No. 1 seed Minnesota, No. 2 Las Vegas, No. 4 Phoenix and No. 6 Indiana. Each franchise has previously won a title, but the Fever’s lone championship came in 2012, the Mercury’s most recent title in 2014 and the Lynx’s most recent in 2017. Those fan bases have been waiting to get back to the promised land.

Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season is upon us and the action will continue on Sunday with the Indianapolis Colts visiting the Tennessee Titans for an AFC South battle at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
The Titans have sputtered out to an 0-2 start to the year and wilted in the second half of last Sunday’s 33-19 loss to the Rams. There were some positive takeaways from the loss, namely the performance of rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor.
Below, we’ll go over Ayomanor’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 3.

Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season is upon us and the action will continue on Sunday with an NFC West showdown featuring the Arizona Cardinals visiting the San Francisco 49ers at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX.
The Cardinals are off to a 2-0 start to the season and are coming off a 27-22 home victory over the Panthers last Sunday. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was quiet in the Week 2 victory and fantasy managers are certainly hoping for a step up in production during this divisional showdown.
Below, we’ll go over Harrison’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 3.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have been on point offensively so far this season and they’ve had to due to their defense giving up 30.5 points and 404 yards per game. That allows for a whole bunch of offense to make up for the defenses deficiencies. So far, the Cowboys offense has been able to produce startable games from Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, George Pickens, Javonte Williams and last week, KaVontae Turpin.
Below, we’ll go over KaVontae Turpin’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 3.

Oh, we had a wild Saturday of college football, thanks to a few upsets and a number of close battles in the top-25. Was the game of the day in Columbia, as Missouri defeated South Carolina? Or was it such a shock that Syracuse destroyed Clemson that it will be felt for weeks to come? 
There’s an argument to be made that Arizona State beating Baylor on a game-winning field goal by a kicker names Jesus Gomez was actually the most intriguing contest of the wild day. 
Here’s a stat for you.
