Its a familiar horror movie trope: a character thinks everything is fine, takes a deep breath, and then -- BAM! Something unspeakably terrifying takes place.That was Week 8 in a nutshell for fantasy owners.At least eight impact players were hurt, with some returning to action moments later. Now comes the horror movie sigh, and the villian-in-the-mirror-as-we-close-the-medicine-cabinet scare will probably come midweek, as injuries that seemed innocuous turn out to be more serious.EVERYONE IS INJUREDJulio Jones, Devontae Booker, Jacquizz Rodgers, T.Y. Hilton, Spencer Ware, DeSean Jackson, and Alex Smith all suffered varying degrees of injuries. And unlike years past, where wed breathe a sigh of relief if they went back into the game, it seems the unwritten rules of fantasy karma have changed in 2016.More frequently than in previous seasons, players who we assumed were fine have seen their diagnoses take drastic turns for the worse as the week progresses, moving from X-rays to MRIs to grim rumor tweets to surgery, setting off a waiver wire panic for backups. So even though Devontae Booker, for example, returned to the game against the Chargers on Sunday, we could watch his status for Week 9 deteriorate as the days go by. And that means familiarizing yourself with Kapri Bibbs.Instead of waiting for injury reports and updates, the best thing a fantasy owner can do right now is go after the backups -- in an order (for the injured starter replacement category) that is shaping up to look something like: Bibbs, Charcandrick West, Antone Smith, Jamison Crowder, Peyton Barber, Philip Dorsett, and maybe even Nick Foles.With five weeks left in the regular fantasy season, now is the time to be bold and cut loose underperformers for high-upside backups who could have a major impact in the next few weeks.YOU MUST OWN ALFRED MORRISIf this season has taught us anything, its that your starting running back is going to get hurt. Nobody is safe, including Cowboys stud running back Ezekiel Elliott. And with a top-flight offensive line blocking for him, Alfred Morris could step in for a figuratively-injured Elliott and rattle off a string of big games.Morris is currently owned in 15.5 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues. He should be owned in 100 percent as either an insurance plan for an Elliott owner or a high-upside stash for teams that dont own Elliott.WELCOME BACK, TIM HIGHTOWER! (MAYBE)Mark Ingram fumbled at the beginning of the Saints win over the Seahawks and may have lost his job to Tim Hightower, who saw 47 snaps (to Ingrams six) and carried the ball 26 times for 102 yards. As far as we know, there was no injury to Ingram, which makes the upcoming Week 9 situation an interesting one: have the Saints run out of patience with Ingram? How do you ignore Hightowers performance (the first 100-yard rushing game from a Saints player in 2016)? And was the big game simply a product of Seattle not having star defensive players Kam Chancellor and Michael Bennett?Expect Hightower, owned in eight percent of CBSSports.com leagues, to be one of the most-added players in fantasy this week. Especially with a matchup against the 49ers on the horizon in Week 9.MISCELLANEOUS- Theo Riddick has cemented himself as a fantasy force outside of point-per-reception leagues. The pass-catching specialist, in his first game back from injury, had 11 of the teams 14 carries, for 56 yards while leading the receiving corps with eight catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.- Dorial Green-Beckham, traded from Tennessee to Philadelphia at the end of the preseason, had his best game as an Eagle, with five catches off nine targets for 55 yards. With six teams on bye again next week, Green-Beckham -- who scored a touchdown in Week 7 -- merits flex consideration.- Antone Smith is the player you want if Rodgers is unable to play on Thursday, assuming Doug Martin is still out with injury. Rodgers played for Bucs coach Dirk Koetter when he was offensive coordinator in Atalanta, as did Smith. The familiarity with the system wasnt the only reason Rodgers did well, but it certainly didnt hurt. Smith played under Koetter from 2012 to 2014.- Two impact players returning from injury who fantasy players might want to search for on their waiver wires: Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman and Patriots running back Dion Lewis.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.comJaire Alexander Super Bowl Jersey .

Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from.Mark Selby summoned all his battling qualities to win a record marathon frame and draw level in his World Snooker Championship semi-final against Marco Fu in Sheffield. They finished a Saturday morning session that overran locked together at 12-12, with Selby well short of the form that saw him land this title in 2014 and Hong Kongs Fu desperately striving to take advantage.The final frame of the session lasted a draining one hour, 16 minutes and 11 seconds. That made it the longest in Crucible history, surpassing the record of one hour and 15 minutes that Stephen Maguire and Mark King set in their 2009 second-round match. They spent 22 minutes on the yellow alone, before Selby took charge and, to his relief, squared the match. The final frame score was 73-43 in the Leicester mans favour.World Snooker initially said the frame had lasted one hour, 14 minutes and 32 seconds - 28 seconds short of the record - but then stated a toilet break that Selby took should have been included in the time.A re-rack was also not counted in the official total frame time, wwith the pair having elected to start again after they initially ran to a halt following four minutes.dddddddddddd Selby won the long-running final frame to level the match It was not a world record, however, as Alan McManus and Barry Pinches contested a frame lasting one hour, 40 minutes and 24 seconds at the Ruhr Open last October.Between a gruelling opener to the day, after they resumed tied at 8-8, and a frame that Fu won with a highest break of 18, Selby sped to a nine-minute run of 125 that showed he can get a move on.Fu had breaks of 108, 71 and 77 to nose ahead, before Selby toiled for parity to take into the resumption on Saturday evening, with 17 frames the target for victory.
