As fantasy draft season heats up, it's important to understand what kind of drafter you are: a sprinter or a long-distance drafter. Here's why.
Sprinters excel in the early rounds. They've carefully thought through their top target with their opening pick, and maybe a backup option or two just in case. They've considered whether they might take an RB or WR in the second round, or maybe even an uber-elite QB or TE. Some of the best sprinters have mapped out a game plan that takes them into the fourth or even the fifth round.
Then things start getting tougher for sprinters. The RB "dead zone" (which actually coincides with the lesser-discussed WR dead zone) generates more choices. Sprinters are straight-line runners. They don't want a lot of choices. They want the clarity of the early rounds replicated in the later rounds. But that's not how drafts work.
Long-distance drafters approach this process differently. They prepare for all 16, 18, or however many rounds the draft is. Perhaps they don't know their top targets for each round. But they do know that the attention they pay with their first pick should match the attention they pay with their 16th pick. Bargains can be found everywhere.
Sprinters can't wait to finish. Long-distance drafters can't wait to pick. Decide which one you are, and more importantly, which one you want to be.

Tech stocks were volatile on Monday as strengthening AI optimism from bullish Nvidia (NVDA) earnings last week clashed with increased odds of a Fed interest rate hike in September.
It's a momentous day for one company in particular — Apple (AAPL). Longtime CEO Tim Cook steps down on Sept. 1 and will hand the reins to senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus.
Cook was seen as a savvy operator, navigating the company through tariffs, supply chain snarls, and the launch of new products such as the Apple Watch and AirPods. He also quadrupled Apple's yearly revenue.
Elsewhere in tech, it was a mixed bag. Semiconductor stocks edged higher on the whole, while software stocks wavered, coming off a big week of decisively strong earnings. Several of the "Magnificent Seven" hyperscaler stocks, however, dropped as concerns about higher borrowing costs and capital expenditures weighed on shares.
OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) fought back against allegations that it stole trade secrets from Apple (AAPL), according to a new court filing published on Monday, as a legal battle between the two highly secretive tech firms heats up.

As the left tackle competition with the Chicago Bears heats up between Braxton Jones, Theo Benedet, Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills, the Bears got some promising news about their starting left tackle from last season, Ozzy Trapilo.
Jones started last season as Chicago's left tackle before Trapilo eventually became the starter, replacing Benedet. In the Bears' playoff win against the Green Bay Packers, Trapilo tore his patellar tendon that was expected to sideline him for most of the 2026 season. But, that timeline has changed drastically when he was activated off the physically unable to perform list and back at practice. Quarterback Caleb Williams sounded off on Trapilo' to be back in practice and 's return and his quick recovery.
"Excited. Obviously, he played a lot for us last year being the left tackle for me, and so I'm excited for him, especially being able to recover, so fast with a pretty bad injury," Williams said. "So I'm excited for him, excited for us, and excited for him to get back on the field whenever that happens, whenever he's healthy and ready."
In Chicago's first preseason game, Amegadjie got most of the reps at left tackle. Jones did not play in the game at all while Wills some limited snaps. Those snaps did not help his case for the starting job while Amegadjie had a solid day. In the Bears' second preseason outing, it was Jones getting the start with Benedet and Amegadjie seeing action later.
It's unlikely that Trapilo will be ready for the season opener, so the left tackle competition is still important to determine who will start the season. However, whoever wins this job will probably play less time given Trapilo's progress in his recovery.

Can the 49ers depend on rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling?
"The team has long shied away from plugging any of its young wideouts into one position, instead asking them to learn all three spots (F, X or Z) before deciding where to put them. That workload can faze some players, but coaches and teammates have said Stribling isn't bothered.
The strong impression he left on the team was a result of the routine Stribling developed after the offseason program. Along with the studying film each day, he would say every playcall out loud or have someone recite it to him. Then, he would write it down or draw the play out so he could visualize it.
Stribling would go through the playbook repeatedly, occasionally asking his mother or his girlfriend to quiz him or call out plays. He even joined fellow wideout Jordan Watkins for throwing sessions with Purdy and Jones in Nashville prior to training camp."
The Good and Not So Good from Day 12 of 49ers Camp: The Purdy-Evans Connection Needs Work
"Give Samuel credit — he's in the best shape possible and he shows every day, as opposed to lots of other veterans on the team. He's one of the iron mans of camp so far, which is incredible….[Jack Jones] injured his hand early on Thursday night against the ****** ans, but practiced today and recovered a fumble. He takes the ball away from the offense seemingly every other practice, but his coverage isn't exactly sticky. He's an enigma.

Kate Douglass continued her ****** ault on the 50m freestyle world record on Saturday, clocking a stunning 23.19sec to win Pan Pacific Championships gold with her second world mark of the day.
The American sliced three-tenths of a second off the world record of 23.49sec she set hours earlier in the heats in Irvine, California.
That broke the world record of 23.55sec set by fellow American Gretchen Walsh on June 28 in Rome -- where Walsh broke the world mark that Douglass had set on June 19.
Douglass finished a whopping 55-hundredths of a second ahead of Walsh, who took silver in 23.74sec. Australia's reigning world champion Meg Harris was third in 23.89.
Douglass returned less than half an hour later to claim silver in the 200m ****** troke won by Canadian Alexanne LePage in 2:21.73.

Kate Douglass shattered the women's 50m freestyle world record on Saturday, clocking 23.49sec in the heats at the Pan Pacific Championships to set a tantalizing showdown with former record-holder Gretchen Walsh.
Douglass improved on the world mark of 23.55sec that fellow-American Walsh set on June 28 at the Sette Colli Trophy in Rome.
Walsh's mark had improved on the world record of 23.59 that Douglass herself had set on June 19 -- and Douglass said that she believed she could still improve technically.
"I definitely wasn't expecting that," Douglass told Swimming World magazine. "I still think there are things I could clean up."
Douglass's impressive performance came little more than 12 hours after she delivered the second-fastest 100m freestyle in history swimming the lead-off leg on the United States's victorious 4x100m free relay.

As summer continues to wind down, anticipation for football and basketball season heats up. When the 2026-27 NBA slate begins, Tar Heel Nation will have its eyes glued to Caleb Wilson.
The Chicago Bulls' fourth overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, Wilson quickly impressed amongst the pro ranks earlier this summer, setting a new record for most points in a Summer League debut. Part of a historic Draft class with fellow top-4 picks AJ Dybantsa (first overall), Darryn Peterson (second) and Cameron Boozer (third), Wilson will treat fans to a plethora of exciting matchups in his rookie season.
One of Wilson's first matchups you should be paying attention to is the Bulls' home opener on Saturday, October 24, when they'll be facing Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards.
Wilson's first regular season game will be Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m., when Chicago travels to face the Toronto Raptors. Dybantsa's rookie year begins that same day at 7 p.m., when Washington hosts the new-look Milwaukee Bucks.
Wilson played against the Wizards in Summer League, leading all scorers with 19 points in a 99-87 win, but Dybantsa sat out that game. Later in a postgame interview, Wilson said he'll play any chance he gets, as opposed to resting like his fellow Top-4 picks.

World record-holder Summer McIntosh failed to qualify for the 400m freestyle final at the Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, California, on Friday, slumping to the ninth-quickest time in the heats.
The 19-year-old Canadian sensation, who won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics, clocked 4min 08.56sec -- more than 14 seconds outside the world record she set last year before going on to win the world ******* le in Singapore.
McIntosh had been expected to figure in a three-way battle for the Pan Pacs crown with US freestyle great Katie Ledecky and Australian Lani Pallister.
Ledecky led the way into Friday night's final with a time of 4:03.48 and Pallister, who won the 200m free and took silver behind Ledecky in the 1,500m on Wednesday, was fourth-quickest.
The competition that brings together top swimmers from non-European countries has been a mixed bag for McIntosh.

The Atlanta Falcons are just three days away from making their 2026 NFL season preseason debut against the Denver Broncos. While we don't know how many of the team's starters will play in Friday's opener, the players have been putting in some serious work at practice.
In today's Falcons Wire Recap, Tua Tagovailoa heats up, Michael Penix Jr. draws praise from quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt, Atlanta signs two more players to the roster and Avieon Terrell is held out of practice due to injury.
The Falcons claimed former Alabama guard Jaeden Roberts off of waivers from the Eagles on Tuesday afternoon. Roberts, an undrafted free agent, signed with Philadelphia following the 2026 NFL Draft but was waived on Monday. Atlanta could use the extra depth up front after waiving former seventh-round pick Jack Nelson earlier this week.
"Roberts is a powerful guard-only prospect with elite body composition but technique that falls below the NFL mark," NFL.com's Lance Zierlein wrote in Roberts' pre-draft scouting report. "He has legendary weight-room strength that will flash on tape, but he struggles to play under control and cleanly fit blocks."
The Falcons signed veteran tight end Nick Muse to their 90-man roster on Tuesday morning. The team also placed undrafted free agent wide receiver Le'Meke Brockington and linebacker Malik Verdon on the waived/injured list in corresponding moves.

Keely Hodgkinson and expected gold medal rivals Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol remain on course for their highly anticipated showdown after safely reaching Thursday's women's 800m semi-finals at the European Athletics Championships.
Olympic champion Hodgkinson, winner of the past two European **** les, controlled her heat throughout to win in one minute 57.28 seconds - the fastest time across the four heats on Tuesday morning.
Swiss athlete Werro, who stunned Hodgkinson by running the fastest time for 43 years to beat the Briton earlier this season, appeared equally comfortable as she won her race in 1:57.83.
There were no issues either for Femke Broeders-Bol. The fast-improving Dutch two-time world 400m hurdles champion, who chose to switch events this season, crossed the line first in 1:59.96.
Hodgkinson's post-race interview with BBC Sport was briefly interrupted by Italy's Eloisa Coiro, who said the 24-year-old was "an inspiration on and off the track".

The Auburn Tigers have made an impression on one of the nation's top offensive playmakers as the 2028 recruiting cycle heats up.
Auburn is one of several schools catching the eye of four-star tight end Kaleb Ballard, according to a report by Rivals' Chad Simmons, joining SEC rivals Ole Miss and Florida. The Wetumpka native has stormed up the recruiting rankings, and many schools are beginning to take notice.
In an interview with Simmons, Ballard says he hopes to visit several schools, including Auburn, during the 2026 season. Playing close to home is a key component in his recruiting, which is why most of his visits will be to schools located in the Southeast.
"Growing up, we traveled a lot, so around six hours away is really just a drive for my family," Ballard said in an interview with Rivals. "I am looking mainly at schools in that window."
Auburn is a perfect fit for Ballard based on his preference. Ballard, who plays football for Wetumpka High School, is located only 48 miles west of Auburn. Auburn has also recruited its home base well in recent years, as three of Alabama's top 10 recruits from the 2027 cycle are committed to Auburn, and three of the top 20 recruits from the state signed with Auburn during the 2026 cycle.

The Tennessee ****** ans entered training camp with plenty of attention focused on first-round pick Carnell Tate and free agent signee Wan'Dale Robinson. Along with the return of Calvin Ridley, the ****** ans have a new starting core of wide receivers. However, another wide receiver has quietly become one of the biggest stories of camp in Elic Ayomanor.
The second-year receiver has consistently turned heads throughout the first week of training camp, and his performance recently earned praise from ESPN's Turron Davenport as the biggest standout. As Tennessee's receiver competition heats up, Ayomanor is making a strong case that he deserves to be a significant part of the offense in 2026.
For a player looking to establish himself in Brian Daboll's new system, it's been an ideal start.
Ayomanor spent a lot of his rookie season last year as the ****** ans' de facto WR1, after injuries limited Ridley to only seven games played. The former 2025 fourth-round pick finished the season as the team's leader in receiving yards (515) and touchdowns (4) from the wide receiver position.
Despite that, the ****** ans added Carnell Tate with the number four overall pick to pair with the veterans Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson, who both have experience in new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's offense. So, that relegates Ayomanor to WR4, which isn't a slight, and it appears he hasn't taken it that way.

After nearly two hours in stop-and-go traffic on a one-lane coastal road, we decided to call it. Dogs joyfully poking their heads out of car windows was the closest my husband and I got to the World Dog Surfing Championships this year.
My husband and I have been attending this annual dog surfing event in Pacifica, California, every summer, but this year—the championship's 10th anniversary—was its biggest yet. As talented surfing dogs, including the event's winner, a Yellow Labrador named Rippin' Rosie Drottar, took over the beach, thousands of dog enthusiasts just like us flocked to the coast for a chance to get a peek. The tiny beach town nearly shut down with the crowds!
Everyone wanted to watch these dogs hang ten! (Or, hang 18, if you want to be anatomically correct.) The event featured 14 talented pups of all sizes competing for 7 categories, including solo surfing (small, medium, and large), human-dog tandem surfing, dog-dog tandem surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and an overall championship.
Even though the experienced surfing dogs like Iza the French Bulldog put on a show for those who were lucky enough to get to the beach, some pups didn't get to ride as many waves as planned. The competition continued despite rough surf, but several of the later heats were canceled in order to keep surfers safe.
"It was rough," contestant Sophia Sadlowski told KQED. "A little too rough for that size dog. Yeah, I mean it's rough for the other dogs, but when you're 12 pounds, it's just too much." Her dog, 'Rusty the Surfing MinPin,' still took home 3rd place in the small dog category and 1st place alongside Iza in the dog/dog tandem category, but one special Yellow Labrador took home more awards than any other pooch.

Aug. 2—BEMIDJI — The 20th Annual Lake Bemidji
Dragon Boat Festival
saw the Nordic Whitecaps take home the championship race after upsetting a local rowing dynasty.
The rhythmic drumming of the dragon boats filled the air along the shores of Lake Bemidji on Saturday, as a large crowd watched the 11-time champion-winning team, the HydraHeads, finish second to the team they help train in the off-season.
After a day of racing, complete with 11 morning qualifying heats, followed by another 11 in the afternoon, each team's racing times were combined to determine the top finishes of the day — deciding who would race in the division finals for the bronze, silver, gold and championship cups.

It's not officially official, but it sounds like Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is going to be dealt by the end of the 2026 MLB trade deadline. And that makes all the sense in the world for everyone -- the Tigers don't look like World Series contenders and they're not going to give the left-hander the kind of massive long-term contract he's earned.
So who could land the two-time Cy Young winner who currently sports a 2.79 ERA with 116 Ks in 96.2 innings? That's the question we all want to know the answer to as the bidding heats up. Let's run through some names of teams who would love to add Skubal and instantly change their fortunes with a top starting pitcher:
You could roll your eyes at the fact that the Dodgers are reportedly in yet again on a big name, but it makes sense -- Shohei Ohtani may not pitch for a while and their rotation isn't the strongest at the moment. Plus, they've got a ton of big-name prospects to deal to the Tigers.
Another team with a lot of intriguing prospects and young pitching talent... but there's risk there if the Brew Crew doesn't win a World Series with Skubal and he leaves in free agency.
Feels like they've got a playoff spot on lock, so getting Skubal would be helpful for the postseason.

Josh Kerr isn't done chasing history.
Just 11 days after brilliantly breaking Hicham El Guerrouj's world mile record, which had stood for 27 years, he was back on the track to start his Commonwealth Games campaign at Scotstoun.
The mile has returned to the athletics programme here for the first time in six decades, 72 years after both Roger Bannister and John Landy dipped below four minutes at the old Empire Games in a race dubbed the "Miracle Mile".
By contrast, all 13 qualifiers for Saturday's final have broken that fabled barrier. Kerr came through the slower of the two heats with ease, but Australia's Cameron Myers underlined why he's viewed as the sport's next big thing, his time just a little over a second slower than Kerr's new 3:42.66 world best.
"It's going to be a war out there," said Kerr. "This is home ground. This is our track, where we grew up racing and where we learned the sport. It's our crowd as well.

Welsh sprinter Jeremiah Azu missed out on a Commonwealth medal for the second games in a row after finishing fifth in the men's 100m final
It was the same position he managed in Birmingham four years ago.
The Welshman had eased through the heats and ran 10.00 seconds in his semi-final but could only manage 10.03 seconds in a rain-affected final won by Cameroon's Emmanuel Eseme.
"I don't feel like I really made any mistakes so it's a hard one to take. These guys are just running crazy fast," he said.
"I felt like I put a good race together. I thought it would be won in 9.9-low which I think I'm capable of, I just didn't put it together today.
