Jaguars vs. Chargers: Week 11 fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em

Leave a comment

If you have any Jacksonville Jaguars players on your fantasy football team, it’s important to know who to start and who to sit for Week 11, especially with their matchup against the LA Chargers. Let’s take a closer look.

**Start: RB Travis Etienne**
Etienne has had a strong season so far, totaling 656 rushing yards at an impressive 4.9 yards per carry. The Jaguars will likely lean into the run game to help open up their passing attack. This strategy plays well against the Chargers’ defense, which has been allowing 4.9 yards per rush on the season—ranking 26th in the league. Expect Etienne to be a focal point in the offense and a reliable fantasy option this week.

**Sit: WR Dyami Brown**
Brown’s role within the Jaguars offense appears to be diminishing. Last week in Houston, he played just 23 offensive snaps, down significantly from 48 snaps the week prior. With the recent addition of Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington continuing to establish themselves as key offensive weapons, Brown may find himself on the outside looking in when it comes to consistent playing time. It’s advisable to sit him this week.

**Start: WR Parker Washington**
Brian Thomas Jr. is currently questionable for Week 11, and with Meyers still getting acclimated to the offense, Washington’s role remains steady and dependable. When Washington gets the ball in his hands, good things tend to happen. Additionally, he has the potential to make a big impact on special teams, possibly even returning another punt for a touchdown. Washington is a solid start for your fantasy lineup this week.

Keep these recommendations in mind when setting your lineup for Week 11 to maximize your fantasy points with Jaguars players!

The national debt is America’s hoarding problem | Las Vegas Review-Journal

Is “Three” the New “Two?”

Consumer prices notched another 3% year-on-year increase in September, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Despite this, no one in Washington seems bothered that inflation remains well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

The big headlines about job losses tend to focus on major employers. For example, UPS has announced layoffs of 48,000 workers, Intel is cutting 24,000 positions, Amazon is reducing its workforce by up to 30,000, and Target is letting go of 1,800 employees. These pink slips are being dropped largely on white-collar positions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Aerolíneas de EE.UU. cancelan más de 1,000 vuelos por cierre del gobierno

Las principales aerolíneas de Estados Unidos han cancelado más de 1,000 vuelos debido a un nuevo recorte relacionado con el cierre parcial del gobierno.

Esta situación ha generado inconvenientes significativos para los pasajeros, afectando tanto viajes nacionales como internacionales. Las cancelaciones se deben a la reducción de personal y recursos provocada por la falta de financiamiento federal.

Las autoridades y las aerolíneas instan a los viajeros a revisar sus vuelos con anticipación y estar atentos a posibles cambios en sus itinerarios.

General Hospital Fans Really Want Martin To Leave With Drew

Leave a comment

General Hospital is currently at a very exciting point, with numerous big plot developments unfolding. Among these, Martin Grey has emerged as a significant figure on the show, drawing comparisons to characters like Drew Cain. Interestingly, fans are now expressing a strong desire for Martin to leave alongside Drew.

This sentiment gained momentum following the latest developments involving Martin. While Drew’s negative reputation has been established for quite some time, Martin Grey has recently joined the list of characters that many fans find hard to tolerate. A recent debate among fans questioned whether Martin is as cunning as Drew, and the October 28, 2025 episode only served to fuel the frustration.

In that episode, Martin is seen preparing to manipulate Ronnie. His plan involves convincing Ronnie to sell the house through deceptive means, showcasing his scheming nature. This storyline prompted a wave of discussions on social media, with many fans voicing their wish for Martin to exit the show alongside Drew.

One fan ignited the debate on the General Hospital Fans Official Facebook page, posting, “I need Drew gone and he needs to take Martin with him to DC. Bye.” This comment resonated with many, sparking a variety of responses.

“They are both dishonest! No one would miss them if they moved to Washington!” one user replied.

Another fan added, “How many times do you all have to have people say that?”

Others chimed in with remarks like, “Yes, agreed!! They are both scum!” and “From your lips to the writer’s ears.”

The collective reactions clearly indicate that fans are fed up with both Drew and Martin. Drew’s months of evil scheming have made him one of the most hated characters General Hospital has seen in recent years, and Martin’s recent actions seem to have placed him in the same disliked category.

As the story progresses, upcoming episodes of General Hospital will further explore Martin’s diabolical plans. It remains to be seen whether the show’s writers will ultimately have Martin exit the canvas, potentially satisfying fans who want both him and Drew gone.

Bucks’ Kyle Kuzma exits Raptors game with ankle injury

Leave a comment

Kyle Kuzma suffered an injury during Friday night’s matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors.

Kuzma is now in his second season with the Bucks, which began this past Wednesday. He joined Milwaukee after being acquired from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Khris Middleton.

In Friday’s game, Kuzma came off the bench and played 18 minutes before sustaining the injury. The incident occurred in the first minute of the fourth quarter when he landed on an opposing player’s foot. He immediately limped off the court and headed to the locker room.

NBA insider Brett Siegel later reported that the veteran forward would miss the remainder of the game. “Bucks say Kyle Kuzma has a left ankle sprain and will miss the remainder of tonight’s game against the Raptors,” Siegel wrote.

Leave a comment

The Commanders had the Chargers stopped at the Washington 11-yard line, with Cameron Dicker lined up for a field goal. Dicker made the chip-shot kick, but the Chargers took the points off the board due to a penalty.

Mike Sainristil was flagged for offsides, giving the Chargers a first down. This costly error shifted the momentum in Los Angeles’s favor.

Just two plays later, Justin Herbert connected with Ladd McConkey for a 2-yard touchdown, putting the Chargers ahead 7-0.

During the play, Herbert sustained a cut on his left hand and scraped his elbow after a 41-yard run. Despite the injury, he was efficient on the opening drive, completing 3 of 4 passes for 21 yards.
