Fantasy Injury Updates: Latest news on Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, James Robinson, more affecting Week 9 start ’em, sit ’em calls

Things aren’t looking good for running backs Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, James Robinson, and Latavius Murray heading into Week 9, and plenty of fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em decisions hang in the balance. We’ve seen RB injuries come in bunches, so hopefully you have the necessary backups, handcuffs, and sleepers on your roster, but either way, you need to know the latest injury updates.

For updates on Dak Prescott and Kyler Murray, go here; for the latest on ailing pass-catchers Davante Adams, Julio Jones, Noah Fant, Calvin Ridley, and DeAndre Hopkins, click here; for news on banged-up RBs. For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter @SN_Fantasy.

WEEK 9 FANTASY: Sleepers | Busts | Start ’em, sit ’em

Saquon Barkley injury update

We’re all well aware Barkley (ankle) has been banged up all year, but after being placed on the reserve/COVID list, the prospects for a Week 9 return are even slimmer. After Adam Schefter reported Barkley turned in a negative test after his initial positive test, SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano reported he tested positive a second time. Barkley will have to test negative on two occasions, 24 hours apart, so it’s tough to tell whether that will happen. Even if it does, he’s still at risk to miss due to the ankle injury he suffered in Week 5. All in all, it sure doesn’t seem like he’ll be suiting up Sunday, but it’s not out of the question, yet.

If he does play, we can view him as a mid-tier RB1, but let’s face it, there’s always a risk he aggravates an injury or is on a snap count. If he’s out, it’s the Devontae Booker show once again. New York plays Las Vegas in Week 9, who gives up the 10th-most fantasy points to RBs, so Booker looks like a safe RB2.

WEEK 9 PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Christian McCaffrey injury update

McCaffrey (hamstring) has been designated to return from injured reserve, but he was “pretty limited” in Wednesday’s practice according to Matt Rhule. Right now, the thinking is Chuba Hubbard will start one more game, but McCaffrey will be ready to go for Week 10. Of course, things can change, so it’s best to keep up with his status all the way to Sunday.

New England is statistically a middle-of-the-pack unit against RBs, but Austin Ekeler, Alvin Kamara, and Ezekiel Elliott are really the only RBs to have a major success. Against other RBs, they’ve been stout except for in garbage time. That said, don’t expect a monster performance from Hubbard unless he gets a ton of passing work or sneaks in a touchdown. We rank him as the RB18 in PPR and RB22 in standard leagues. His floor could be much lower if Ameer Abdullah takes a ton of touches from him again, though.

WEEK 9 STANDARD RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

James Robinson injury update

Robinson (heel) didn’t practice Wednesday, but we don’t know much about his situation beyond that. Thursday and Friday practice reports will tell us more about his Week 9 availability, so we’ll have to wait and see. This isn’t a serious injury, but one that could certainly sideline him for a game. Carlos Hyde (if healthy) should take on the primary back role and dominate touches if Robinson is out.

If he does play, we rank him as the RB12 in standard and RB9 in PPR leagues. That may seem high against a strong Buffalo defense, but with all the RB injuries around the league, he’s one of the few true workhorse backs in the league at this moment.

WEEK 9 DFS LINEUPS: FanDuel | DraftKings | Yahoo

Latavius Murray injury update

Murray (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, and he’s another guy who bears watching. The Week 8 bye evidently wasn’t enough time for him to heal up, so he’s in danger of missing another game. Murray seems to be the only Ravens’ RB who could assume a workhorse role, but in his absence, it’ll be another pure committee approach with Devonta Freeman, Le’Veon Bell, and Ty’son Williams. We rank those guys in the order they are mentioned.

If Murray does play, we view him as the RB36 in standard and RB37 in PPR. Minnesota is a top-12 team against fantasy RBs, and even if Murray returns, this should be a committee approach once again.

FRITZ REINER

THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA ALBUM COLLECTION

Sony Classical reúne la discografía completa de Fritz Reiner en Pittsburgh y Nueva York en 14 CD. A la venta el 11 de septiembre.

Cuando, a los 50 años, Fritz Reiner fue nombrado director de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Pittsburgh en 1938, todavía era relativamente desconocido en Estados Unidos. Este alumno de Bartók en la Academia de Música de su Budapest natal, ex director de la Ópera Real de Dresde, donde trabajó con Richard Strauss, y durante los últimos 16 años, el director musical de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Cincinnati, rara vez era mencionado en la prensa estadounidense, aunque en realidad había hecho algunos discos en 1938 con la Filarmónica de Nueva York, que fueron emitidos de forma anónima.

Todo cambió para Reiner cuando su mudanza a Pittsburgh llevó a casi una década de grabaciones fundamentales para la Columbia Americana. Sony Classical ahora se complace en presentar una nueva caja de 14 CD que recoge toda la discografía de la Sinfónica de Pittsburgh de Reiner, junto con las grabaciones de Columbia que hizo después de mudarse a Nueva York en 1948, para convertirse en director principal de la Metropolitan Opera.

Reiner ya era un experimentado director de Wagner cuando llegó a Pittsburgh y, como era de esperar, sus primeras sesiones en febrero y marzo de 1940 incluyeron, entre otras selecciones populares, la Cabalgata de las valquirias. Esta es la grabación más antigua del nuevo set y el primer registro comercial acreditado de Reiner. Desafortunadamente, los problemas eléctricos arruinaron los masters de Wagner restantes de 1940, por lo que esas obras tuvieron que volver a grabarse en 1941, Otros que datan de antes de la guerra incluyen el Don Juan de Strauss (de enero de 1941) y Don Quijote, con el violonchelista Gregor Piatigorsky (noviembre de 1941), así como Iberia de Debussy (también de noviembre de 1941).

Tras la prohibición nacional de grabación en tiempos de guerra, Reiner y la orquesta regresaron a la Mezquita de Siria en marzo de 1945 para establecer algunos ejemplos principales del repertorio muy variado del director: la Sexta Sinfonía de Shostakovich; la grabación principal de la suite de Robert Russell Bennett de Porgy and Bess de Gershwin, encargada por Reiner; Divertimento No.1 de su amigo húngaro Léo Weiner; las Danzas de Galánta de otro compatriota, Zoltán Kodály; y la Segunda Sinfonía de Beethoven.

Algunas de sus grabaciones más memorables de Pittsburgh se hicieron en febrero de 1946: la primera producción en estudio del Concierto para orquesta de su antiguo maestro Bartók; Danzas húngaras de Brahms y el primer concierto para piano con Rudolf Serkin; El amor brujo de Falla, un perenne favorito de Reiner, con la excelente mezzo solista Carol Brice, que también grabó Lieder de Mahler eines fahrenden Gesellen durante esas sesiones; y la suite de Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme de Strauss, que Reiner había presentado en los Estados Unidos en Cincinnati. Ninguno de estos, excepto el concierto de Brahms y el Strauss, había aparecido en CD en Sony Classical.

Reiner realizó su última grabación en Pittsburgh, Ein Heldenleben de Strauss, en noviembre de 1947. Dos años más tarde, sus primeras sesiones de Nueva York para Columbia tuvieron lugar en el 30th Street Studio, produciendo un conjunto completo notablemente elegante de los Conciertos de Brandenburgo de Bach. También lanzado por Sony Classical en CD por primera vez, presenta nombres tan ilustres como los clavecistas Sylvia Marlowe y Fernando Valente, el flautista Julius Baker, el trompetista William Vacchiano, el oboista Robert Bloom, el violista William Lincer y el violonchelista Leonard Rose. Unos meses antes, Fritz Reiner hizo una de sus grabaciones más famosas de todas. Estuvo en el Metropolitan dirigiendo el Salomé de Strauss con el mejor exponente del papel principal, Ljuba Welitsch, haciendo su debut en la casa. En medio de la carrera en marzo, en el 30th Street Studio, Columbia capturó la escena final en el disco, una grabación que ha conservado su estado de referencia.

En 1953, el capítulo final de la larga carrera de Fritz Reiner comenzó cuando se convirtió en director musical de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Chicago y comenzó una famosa serie de grabaciones estéreo para RCA Victor. Pero cualquier apreciación completa del legado de este legendario director de orquesta debe incluir sus logros anteriores para Columbia Records en Pittsburgh y Nueva York. Para todos los innumerables aficionados de Reiner en todo el mundo, la nueva caja de 14 CD de Sony Classical será una escucha esencial.

USA: 1 of 148 Trumpeter/Vocalist Bob Merrill's "Tell Me Your Troubles: Songs by Joe Bushkin, Vol. 1" Set for May 19 Release by Accurate Records

Trumpeter/Vocalist Bob Merrill Celebrates the Musical Legacy of Pianist/Songwriter Joe Bushkin with "Tell Me Your Troubles: Songs by Joe Bushkin, Vol. 1," Set for May 19 Release by Accurate Records

   First Volume of Two-Album Tribute Project Features Rhythm Section of Howard Alden, Nicki Parrott, & Steve Johns Plus Guest Appearances by Singer Eric Comstock, Bucky Pizzarelli, Harry Allen, Wycliffe Gordon, & Virtuoso Vocal Accompanists Laurence Hobgood & John Colianni at the Piano

Merrill to Serve as Musical Director For Bushkin Centennial Concert At BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, NYC, Thursday, May 4

     April 24, 2017

Coinciding with the centennial of pianist/composer Joe Bushkin's birth, the release on May 19 by trumpeter and singer Bob Merrill of Tell Me Your Troubles: Songs by Joe Bushkin, Vol. 1 (Accurate Records) celebrates the musical legacy of a man who was revered by many of America's foremost entertainers for his wizardry at the keyboard and skills as a tunesmith. He also happened to be Merrill's father-in-law.

Bushkin penned songs with his longtime lyricist John DeVries or the great Johnny Burke in the repertoires of the likes of Sinatra (Joe's "Oh! Look at Me Now" was Frank's first hit), Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, Benny Goodman, Louis Jordan, and countless others. This first volume of a planned two-album commemorative project pays reverential tribute to Bushkin's oeuvre and its special blend of mood and merriment on contemporary interpretations of 10 songs ranging from the popular to the obscure. The album opens and closes with archival spoken word salutes to Bushkin by Sinatra and comedian Red Buttons.

Cut from the same engaging entertainer's cloth as Bushkin -- not to mention trumpeter-singers like Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Prima, and Chet Baker -- Merrill was already performing crowd-pleasers like "Oh! Look at Me Now" and "Boogie Woogie Blue Plate" (a 1947 hit for Louis Jordan and his Tympani Five) before he met his future wife Christina and bonded with her gregarious father. "These songs have such a timeless, universal appeal," says Merrill. "I really hope the album exposes them to a new generation. Maybe Harry Connick, Diana Krall, Michael Bublé, or even Lady Gaga will give them new life."

Tell Me Your Troubles is full of classic tunes and rediscoveries, charismatic vocals, swinging solos, and sparkling arrangements and presents Merrill at his elegant best, whether showcasing his brass palette of trumpet, cornet, and flugelhorn or his smooth Tormé-like vocals, easy articulation, and natural enthusiasm. In addition to the A-List rhythm section of guitarist Howard Alden, bassist Nicki Parrott, and drummer Steve Johns, the album features an illustrious list of guest artists including saxophonist Harry Allen, trombonist/singer Wycliffe Gordon, cabaret star Eric Comstock, guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, and pianist Laurence Hobgood.

A previously unreleased performance of "Oh! Look at Me Now!," from Bushkin's final recording session in 2003 with Merrill, Howard Alden, and drummer Duffy Jackson, is one of the album's standouts. "Joe's tempo for the song had increased over the years," says Merrill, "but I suggested we slow it down to the tempo of Sinatra's later version, from the 1957 album Swingin' Affair on Capitol." (Pictured at left: Bushkin and Merrill, 2003.) 

"I got to spend a lot of time with Joe, always looking over his shoulder, absorbing stuff by osmosis," recalls Merrill, who coaxed Bushkin out of retirement in the early 1990s and performed with him at festivals and clubs such as New York's Tavern on the Green and L.A.'s Jazz Bakery until his passing in 2004 at age 87. He also produced and wrote liner notes for CD reissues of four Bushkin albums, including last fall's release of Live at the Embers (Dot Time Legends) from 1952.

Born in Manhattan in 1958, Bob Merrill traces his early interest in jazz to the fact that Benny Goodman lived in the penthouse of the building he grew up in on the Upper East Side. After his father took him to a Tonight Show taping where he heard Doc Severinsen, Merrill devoted himself to the trumpet (Bushkin's second instrument). He studied with William Vacchiano, first trumpet of the New York Philharmonic, and received improv tips as a teen from Red Rodney. Merrill attended both the New England Conservatory of Music (studying with Jaki Byard, in whose Apollo Stompers he played) and Harvard, where he co-founded a jazz concert series at the Hasty Pudding Club and led a house band for such visiting artists as Illinois Jacquet, George Coleman, Lee Konitz, and Warne Marsh.

Merrill released his first album as a leader, Catch as Catch Can, in 1997, the same year he was featured on American Movie Classics leading the AMC Orchestra on the series Gotta Dance! His second album, Got a Bran' New Suit, featured pianist Bill Charlap among others. It was followed by Christmastime at the Adirondack Grill, and then the wildly eclectic Cheerin' Up the Universe (2015), which featured pianist John Medeski and trombonist Roswell Rudd.

On Thursday May 4, Merrill will preside over a Joe Bushkin Centennial concert at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center (199 Chambers Street, Manhattan), part of Jack Kleinsinger's Highlights in Jazz series. Featured performers include several from the new CD's cast (Wycliffe Gordon, Eric Comstock, Nicki Parrott, John Colianni, Harry Allen) as well as pianists Ted Rosenthal and Spike Wilner.

When Miles Davis was taking lessons from me at Juilliard he had never had to study transposition before. In the first lessons I was trying to teach the basic methodology and said, "You've got a B-flat trumpet, the music has three flats, and the part says 'Trumpet in E.' Where does that put your trumpet [What key are you playing in now]?" Davis looked at me confidently and said, "As far as I'm concerned, right back in the case!"

Jets won't discipline Darron Lee, but NFL is investigating heated altercation

Leonard Williams had to intervene and remove Lee from an argument with a woman on Saturday.

New York Jets defensive tackle Leonard Williams intervened in an altercation between his teammate, Darron Lee, and a woman at the Governors Ball Festival in New York City on Saturday. The NFL is investigating the incident, according to Lindsay Jones of USA Today Sports.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Tuesday that the Lee will not face discipline from the Jets:

Meanwhile ... Todd Bowles said he won't discipline LB Darron Lee over what he said was "an argument with his girlfriend" in weekend video.

— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) June 6, 2017

Based on an eyewitness account, Lee and an unknown woman, identified as Lee’s girlfriend by Bowles, were arguing. The eyewitness said that Lee was shouting at the woman, and then he “started to manhandle her and call her names.” Several people tried to intervene, but it was Williams who did it successfully.

The argument between Lee and the woman was not caught on video, but Williams’ intervention was.

No arrests were made, and he won’t receive any punishment from the Jets. But Lee may still face league discipline for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

2017 NFL mock draft database: Which player is each team projected to pick?

Rounding up and compiling mock drafts to predict the 2017 NFL Draft.

Now that the 2016 NFL season is over, all eyes turn to the 2017 offseason. The big event is the NFL draft, scheduled for April 27-29 in Philadelphia.

The Cleveland Browns are at the top of the draft order following their 1-15 season, but they also have the No. 12 selection thanks to a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016. While there’s still time for players to climb up or slide down boards, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is the near consensus choice to be Cleveland’s No. 1 pick.

By surveying as many mock drafts as possible, we can get a good idea of the directions experts expect most teams to go.

A few notes:

This will be updated consistently until draft day.

Players selected less than five percent of the time fall in the "others" category.

Mock drafts that include trades are not included.

With a lot of similar colors, I know some of the slices can be hard to tell apart (sorry, Raiders fans). Hover over or click on the chart and it'll show the numbers and name for each individual slice. It also can be read like a clock with the names on the right representing the slices clockwise around the chart.
