Notre Dame has many stars named to ESPN's most important players in college football
With the college football season starting at the end of the month, ESPN took a look at the 40 most important players in the sport and named multiple Notre Dame stars to its list. Starting off with their No. 4 most important player in the new starting quarterbacks for likely contenders category was CJ Carr, as Bill Connelly wonders 'can he boost the Irish's upside enough to maybe actually win the national title game (while providing enough of a floor to get them back there)'? That a question that we'd all like answered, but it won't happen right way. He obviously believes that Carr will win the job over Kenny Minchey, which seems like the sentiment nationally. Both of the Irish's wide receiver transfers in Malachi Fields and Will Pauling were named in the category as most important (non-QB) transfers, although neither of them technically made list. However, cornerbacks Leonard Moore and Christian Gray did in the pure transcendence potential. Connelly was astounded by the depth that Notre Dame has at the position, noting that it 'lost all-world cornerback Benjamin Morrison to a injury six games into 2024 and didn't miss a single beat because Gray and Moore — then just a sophomore and freshman, respectively — were so damn good.' Star running back Jeremiyah Love (who spoke with us about his NIL deal with New Balance) made this category as well, but not named as one of the main players as was the case with the wide receivers. It's pretty clear that Notre Dame has plenty of star power entering 2024, as many of its young players emerged last fall and are known commodities. It should be another very successful season in South Bend starting just a few weeks from now.

Dodgers activate Max Muncy from injured list, but also put Tommy Edman on the shelf
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Max Muncy from the injured list and put fellow infielder Tommy Edman on the list. Muncy has been out since July 2, missing nearly five weeks with a bone bruise in his knee after a collision on a tag play during a game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran slugger had been on a monthlong roll at the time of his injury, boosting his OPS to .832 with 13 homers and 55 RBIs. Muncy returned more quickly than the initial six-week projection for his recovery. He was batting fifth and playing third base at Dodger Stadium when Los Angeles opened a homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals. 'He's put in a lot of work to get back with this timeline,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. 'Getting him back lengthens and strengthens our lineup.' But just when Muncy is healthy enough to return, the NL West-leading Dodgers are losing Edman after he aggravated his injured right ankle. Edman left a game in Boston after apparently spraining his ankle while running the bases, and he came out of the Dodgers' game against Tampa Bay with pain from running the bases again. 'Don't know how long it's going to be, but I do think that he'll be back at some point,' Roberts said. 'The main thing is when he gets back, how we can make sure that this doesn't happen again. It's kind of a ligament strain, tendons, whatever it is.' Edman also missed time in May with a sprained ankle. Last year's NLCS MVP is batting .228 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs this season. Edman joins the lengthy list of Dodgers hoping to return soon from injuries to bolster the defending World Series champions' repeat bid. Los Angeles didn't make a bold move at the trade deadline last week, deciding to roll with its current roster while aiming for full health in October. Utilityman Kiké Hernández went out with a sprained left elbow, and he isn't close to returning despite undergoing multiple procedures including platelet-rich plasma therapy and cortisone shots. 'We're not there yet, as far as worrying the season is lost' for Hernández, Roberts said. Other injury news is more encouraging: Second baseman Hyeseong Kim is swinging a bat and taking grounders in anticipation of returning from left shoulder bursitis as early as this weekend, while reliever Tanner Scott will throw another batting practice session soon in his recovery from left elbow inflammation. Roki Sasaki is still on the injured list on his bobblehead night. The rookie right-hander has been out since May 8 with a right shoulder injury, but he will throw three live innings after hitting mid-90s velocity in his most recent mound session. If his arm continues to feel good, he will get a minor league rehab assignment, Roberts said.

I'm a Fantasy Football Sicko. I've Convinced All 5 of My Leagues to Use This App.
I'm not one to brag, but I'm better than you at fantasy football. Last year was something of a down season for me. But I still made the playoffs in all but one of my leagues, made the finals in two, and won one. I've been playing fantasy football for nearly 20 years, and I would have to stretch back pretty far to think of a season when I didn't win at least one league. Various friends (or competitors, as the case may be) have called me a savant, a freak, a sicko. That's fine by me, I'll just keep winning. I've used ESPN, Yahoo Sports, and CBS Sports, but over time, all of my fantasy leagues have landed on the relatively new fantasy football app Sleeper, mostly due to my persistent urging. Sleeper is an app made by and for sickos like me. It's deep, customizable, and social. And it's cognizant of the fact that fantasy football is at once a silly diversion ruled by randomness (except when I'm playing) and also the most important thing in the world (except on the rare occasions when I lose). With a bevy of custom league options and snazzy features, Sleeper is the ideal app for fantasy lifers who want to go deep while still keeping things fun. The real key to fantasy football success is paying more attention to your team than your competitors do to theirs. If you opt into Sleeper's push notifications, the app will quickly notify you of breaking news, and it will often focus on football minutiae that other platforms might pass over. So if a team's third receiver goes down for a couple of games, and his replacement is up for grabs, you'll likely know first on Sleeper. If you're in multiple leagues on Sleeper, you can easily see a player's availability across leagues, thus speeding up player adds. I'm in five separate leagues with one of my oldest friends — sickos stay together — so rushing to beat him to priority pickups is key. (To my employers reading this, know that I enjoy winning the race to pickups only on my off-hours.) Sleeper will also notify you if you have an injured player in your starting lineup. This is a useful feature when games take place on unexpected days, which has been happening more and more. In the most recent season, the NFL scheduled a game on every day of the week except Tuesday. Every player card on Sleeper shows the player's availability for all of the leagues you're in; this is crucial for keeping up with pickups. Each card also has information on the player's performance and transaction history. Sleeper for iOS The trade-proposal screen is made for sharing on social media, and it also begins a chat with your trade partner. Sleeper for iOS Every player card on Sleeper shows the player's availability for all of the leagues you're in; this is crucial for keeping up with pickups. Each card also has information on the player's performance and transaction history. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper also allows you to hone your skills in mock drafts before draft day. Unlike with many other platforms, with this one you can customize your mock draft to match your fantasy league's settings (2 QB, Superflex, and/or keepers, to name a few). And you can even invite your friends to mock draft with you, rather than relying on the computer to simulate what they might do. In one of my leagues, this leads to weeks of subterfuge among my friends and me: We go through multiple fake drafts before the real thing, deploying smokescreens and diversions, and working out different team-building strategies. If you take a screenshot of your draft picks, Sleeper's app automatically generates an image of your entire draft haul for easy sharing (bragging), rather than forcing you to take two screenshots to capture all the glory. Sleeper for iOS The post-mock debriefs — 'Love your build there, Finn!' — are probably among the dorkiest conversations I've ever had in my life, and I love them dearly. Sleeper offers a suite of custom league options — many more than standard apps, maybe a few less than paid apps, but enough for nearly everyone to find what they need. (Even I have my limits.) One of my longest-running leagues is a keeper league with bespoke draft rules, and Sleeper is one of the few platforms I've found that allows us to run it exactly how we want to. I like real football, too (also in a totally normal and cool way). Otis Blum Sleeper also offers flexible drafts. If you can't get everyone together on one night, you can run a slow draft (eight hours per pick) or change the amount of time per pick in the middle of a draft (start quick, end slow). You can easily pause, undo a pick, and redo a pick, all without breaking the draft, and the same goes for pausing it overnight. Sleeper is one of the few free fantasy platforms that offers median scoring for the regular season. Each week, you compete against your opponent and the rest of the league, trying to beat the median score of the week. This tends to smooth out bad breaks — sometimes you're the second-highest scoring team, and you just happen to be playing the highest scorer — and it adds intrigue at the end of every week. Sleeper's draft room is colorful and customizable. You can mock draft with friends with your league's keepers already assigned, chat within the draft, and easily share a recap of your draft after. Sleeper for iOS Each week, Sleeper sends a customized recap to your league's chat, with fun stats and awards. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper's league-wide group chat allows you to keep track of league activity and keep in touch with friends. In this league, the last-place team has to spend 24 hours in an IHOP, minus an hour for every pancake you eat. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper's draft room is colorful and customizable. You can mock draft with friends with your league's keepers already assigned, chat within the draft, and easily share a recap of your draft after. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper's app is easy to navigate, and it even works on a desktop browser if you prefer. The in-app messaging is useful for trade negotiations, and every league has a Discord-like group chat. Each week, Sleeper sends a personalized report to the league-wide chat, showing a variety of highlights and lowlights, such as the most unlucky manager, the best players by position, and so on. It's a useful way to keep up with the league and provides easy bragging rights. And it gets people talking, which is the most fun part of being in any league — the trash talk, the memes, the desultory rounds of congratulations after I've been crowned champion yet again. It won't replace your cherished SMS group chat, but it's at the very least a great supplement. Celebrating after winning yet another championship. Evan Dent/NYT Wirecutter I'll admit it, Sleeper's bevy of options and inside jokes can be intimidating to new players. That's partially why the official Wirecutter pick is the ESPN Fantasy app, which is the best app for everyone , and not just weirdos like me. In certain states, Sleeper has a built-in sports-gambling option, and it will occasionally ping you about it. While it's not present on every fantasy app, sports gambling content is omnipresent across sports broadcasts, so I've just grown to accept it as part of the territory. It's easy enough for me to swipe away, but if you think it might be a problem for you, maybe go with another app. (You can toggle off the gambling tab from Sleeper in the app's settings, and there are responsible gaming limits and self-exclusion options available.) If you've been playing fantasy for a while and are bored with your same-old platform, I'd suggest using Sleeper to shake things up. It gives back as much as you put in, so it's rewarding over the course of a long season. Just don't join a league with me, unless you like losing.
