Each week, TSN.ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Ben Fisher and Mike Hetherington discuss three hot fantasy football topics. Who will finish the better fantasy QB this season, Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck? Cullen: Im going with Manning, if only because I dont want to get too high on Luck following a rout of Jacksonville. Thats how you end up buying high on players in Fantasy -- take them after they beat up on a bad team -- and while Luck does have the advantage of shaky competition in the AFC South, Im more confident that Mannings level of play this year isnt far off his record-breaking 2013 season. The touchdowns arent quite there, yet, but hes on pace for more than 40 touchdown passes and thats despite missing Wes Welker at the start of the year and minimal production from Demarius Thomas, who was expected to be his No. 1 receiver. Basically, Im siding with track record. Fisher: I picked Manning to remain on top of the fantasy QB rankings a few weeks ago and I still think he will; but it will be close. We all knew Luck was going to break out as a superstar sooner or later and it appears ita€?s going to happen very soon, if it hasna€?t happened already. Manning has only been really good so far in a year we all expected him to be great, but I still think he holds Luck off for at least one more year. Hetherington: The passing of the torch has arrived; Luck will top Manning this year. Luck is off to a torrid pace and looking at the schedule, the Colts will face few teams who can slow them down. Manning will have another strong season, but games against the Cardinals, Chargers (twice), Chiefs and Bengals will slow his pace. Luck is flourishing with an array of talented targets in a Colts offence that looks unstoppable. Throw in another matchup against each of the Jaguars and Titans this season (not mention games against the Steelers, Redskins, Browns and Cowboys) and Lucks fantasy numbers could be the best of any QB this season. Can Steve Smith Sr. keep up his WR1 production all season long? Cullen: My natural inclination would be to say that no, the 35-year-old Smith Sr., cant possibly keep up his current rate of production, but he doesnt have to stay at the same level to remain a viable WR1. Hes been targeted 10.5 times per game through his first four games with the Ravens -- his previous career-high was 9.87 in 2007 -- so hes getting the work necessary to remain very productive. My concern with Smith would be that, even at his best, hes never been a big touchdown producer and, unless last weeks two TD game is just the beginning, Id still be skeptical that even if he does rack up yardage, that his lack of touchdowns could keep him just below the WR1 level. Fisher: I hope he can, because it makes for great television, but Ia€?m not so sure. Smith Jr. was a solid WR2 as near back as two years ago but now hea€?s a little older and extra motivation only goes so far. That said, Smith Jr. had a lot of success with Jake Delhomme in Carolina; Joe Flacco isna€?t that much better so you never know. Smith Jr. is worth a start, but I dona€?t think he holds his WR1 value all year, let alone his crazy early season numbers. Hetherington: To put it simply, yes. Smith looks like a premier wide receiver in the Ravens offence and with Torrey Smith M.I.A., they need him to stay one. At 35, its hard to believe Smith will be able to keep up the pace hes set through three weeks (on pace for 100 receptions, 1716 yards and 12 TDs) but he will finish with low-end WR1 numbers. The injury to Dennis Pitta and Torrey Smiths ineffectiveness leave Joe Flacco and the Ravens with no choice but to keep feeding Smith Sr. to have success. Is this an early season slump for LeSean McCoy, or is it time to worry the preseason No. 1 wont even put up RB1 numbers? Cullen: Its obviously been a rough start for McCoy and Im somewhat worried that hes losing some of his touches to Darren Sproles, but McCoy still has 20 touches per game through the first four weeks (down from 22.9 per game last season). Even if the first four games have been awful, I cant fathom that a back who gained 2,146 yards from scrimmage last season suddenly cant fit in among the Top 10 running backs. Come back to me in two weeks and maybe Ill be ready to change my mind. Fisher: McCoya€?s putting up RB1 numbers a€“ we cana€?t unanimously decide Chip Kellya€?s offence does in fact work in the NFL only to change our mind one season later a€“ but I dona€?t think hea€?ll finish atop the rankings like he did atop the draft rankings. McCoya€?s workload is still very high a€“ as is his talent level a€“ so hea€?ll move into RB1 territory eventually; he just may not give a full return on his high investment this year. Hetherington: The injury rumours have started, the Eagles have strived for ways to get the ball in backup Darren Sproles hands and LeSean McCoy looks like the fantasy bust of 2014. His slow start doesnt guarantee McCoy wont reach RB1 numbers though, and I look for him to find his stride against the Rams struggling run defence this week. If he is injured - rumours of a turf toe injury are abuzz - then the season will likely but lost. However, if hes heathy I expect McCoy to finish as a top-5 running back, but fall short of the lofty expectations owners had. Ryan Dempster Jersey . Mike Vecchione tied it at 2 with 4:01 left in the first, Saskatoon native Eli Lichtenwald gave the Dutchman the lead 57 seconds later, and Daniel Ciampini capped the spree with 2:57 to go.

Also, defencemen "were found to be at a higher risk of suffering a concussion than other players, perhaps due to turning their back to retrieve pucks along the boards, which leaves them vulnerable. Ernie Banks Cubs Jersey .Y. - The Buffalo Sabres reassigned forward Sam Reinhart to the WHLs Kootenay Ice on Friday. Justin Steele Jersey . Price also posted the longest shutout sequence since 1960 at 164:19 minutes. He stopped a combined 55 shots in Canadas final two games and 70 of 71 shots in Canadas three elimination games, allowing only a breakaway goal to Lauris Darzins of Latvia. For his efforts, Price was named best goalkeeper by the tournament directorate. Prices outstanding play is marred only by the extremely strong defensive play of Canadas top six defencemen; Shea Weber, Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester.ST. LOUIS -- Bill Self gathered his team around the bench late in Fridays game against Eastern Kentucky, one that had grown a bit too close for comfort for the second-seeded Jayhawks. His team had gone back to chucking up jumpers, the scrappy Ohio Valley Conference champions had regained the lead, and thoughts of Mercers upset of Duke earlier in the day were on everyones mind. "I thought we responded as a group," Self said. The Jayhawks resumed pounding away inside out of the timeout, slowly took control down the stretch and pulled away for an 80-69 victory in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Andrew Wiggins of Vaughan, Ont., had 19 points for the Jayhawks (25-9), who will play No. 10 seed Stanford on Sunday in the South Regional. Jamari Traylor added 17 points and 14 rebounds, Perry Ellis had 14 points and 13 boards and Tarik Black finished with 12 points as Kansas dominated in the paint. "Our main focus on the game was to get in there and pound them," Traylor said. Even without 7-footer Joel Embiid, who is out for the weekend with a back injury. Glenn Cosey hit five 3-pointers and had 17 points for the 15th-seeded Colonels (24-10), who have lost all eight of their NCAA tournament games. Tarius Johnson and Eric Stutz finished with 15 points apiece, but second-leading scorer Corey Walden was held to four points before fouling out. "Corey is a very important part of our team," Colonels coach Jeff Neubauer said. "With that being said, thats not an excuse. Kansas really played great." In the second half, perhaps. Certainly not in the first. Like a swarm of gnats, the smaller guards of Eastern Kentucky made life miserable for the turnover-prone Jayhawks in the first 20 minutes. Kansas had more turnovers (10) by the midway point than field goal attempts (9), and at one juncture turned it over on six of eight possessions. Most of those miscues turned into easy points at the other end. The Colonels, buoyed by their trademark 3-point shooting, raced out to a 23-14 lead, silencing a heavily pro-Jayhawks crowd and even making some fans out of New Mexico and Stanford folks. "Our defence is focused on turning people over and being aggressive," Stutz said. "In that first half, thats what got us our leead.dddddddddddd" It wasnt until the first of two rim-rattling dunks by Wiggins off alley-oop passes that Kansas showed some life. The second came during an 8-0 flurry that gave the Big 12 champions a 28-27 lead with just over a minute to play, their first since the opening minute of the game. The Jayhawks have grown accustomed to tussles with lower seeds, of course. Just last year, they trailed No. 16 seed Western Kentucky at halftime before pulling away down the stretch. It looked like Kansas would pull away again Friday, scoring on its first seven trips down court and building a 45-38 lead. The turnovers suddenly came to a stop -- after 13 in the first half, the Jayhawks had just one in the second -- and Eastern Kentucky was suddenly on the ropes. But rather than continue to pound away inside, where the Jayhawks were having so much success, they reverted to missing jump shots. The Colonels took advantage with a 10-0 run, and Self called a red-faced timeout rather than risk pulling out his hair. "We knew that anything could happen," the Jayhawks Conner Frankamp said. "We were down, we tried to stay poised and not get too rattled, and just tried to make the easy play, because we felt like we could score pretty good down low." Once they were reminded of that fact. Kansas went back inside out of the timeout, dumping the ball to a big man or driving to the basket. The Jayhawks regained the lead at 59-56 on Wayne Seldens free throw and Traylors putback dunk, and then kept turning back every 3-pointer that Eastern Kentucky managed to rattle home. "Just our mentality (changed)," Wiggins said. "We were tougher on the ball. We knew against the defence of this team, we had to make good decisions, great plays and throw it inside." When the final seconds ticked away, and the Jayhawks were assured of advancing, Self slowly walked to the scorers table to shake hands with his Eastern Kentucky counterpart. He exhaled deeply as he stuck out his hand, and the first words he said were, "Great game." "They played great. They played loose and gave us everything we wanted," he said later. "It was a hard-fought game, one we had to work our tail off 40 minutes to come out with a win." ' ' '
