Every week, well mine the waiver wire for lesser-owned assets to help your squad, whether you favor dynasty or the re-draft format -- and well also toss in some tips for DFS players out there. Categorized by position, the players are ranked in descending order by ownership percentage in ESPN leagues.Well also include some former go-to fantasy assets who may be overvalued -- in the short or long term -- for one reason or another.ForwardsBryan Little, C, Winnipeg JetsOwnership percentage: 28.5Suffering a lower-body injury in the seasons opener, Little is eyeing his return to Winnipegs lineup, perhaps as early as Tuesday versus the Devils. When ready and able, the top-six centerman is pegged to split wingers Blake Wheeler and Drew Stafford on a potentially dangerous line for the Jets. A consistently productive (and underrated) presence for some time now, Little has averaged 0.74 points per game in his past four campaigns.Mikael Granlund, C/LW, Minnesota WildOwnership percentage: 21.1With a goal and four helpers in his past four games, Granlund is proving to be a valuable member of the Wilds top six and power play. ESPNs Sean Allen elaborates on why you should consider the 24-year-old for your own squad in Mondays rankings column:Granlund has seemingly earned more and more of new Wild coach Bruce Boudreaus trust as the season wears on. He started the season playing about 17 minutes per game, was up to 19 minutes on average by the end of October and has almost averaged 20 minutes per contest in November. The results are showing on the scoreboard, with Granlund set to double his point total from October with a point on Tuesday. Playing on the second line and second power-play unit with Mikko Koivu, Granlund deserves to be picked up in most fantasy formats.Travis Zajac, C, New Jersey DevilsOwnership percentage: 21.0While a red-hot Michael Cammalleri probably isnt available in your league, his underappreciated centerman might well be. Or, if power-play points are at a premium, look instead to Pavel Zacha (ownership percentage: 2.0), who centers the dynamic winger with the man advantage. Further, before he inevitably cools off (or gets hurt) again, consider also pairing Cammalleri with Zajac or Zacha in DFS play.Sam Reinhart, C/LW, Buffalo SabresOwnership percentage: 20.0Make no mistake, the return of a healthy Jack Eichel is huge for a young Sabres club struggling to score in the early stages of 2016-17. And while Eichel is likely already spoken for in your fantasy league, his projected linemate -- Reinhart, shifted to the right -- might be up for grabs. Along with Evander Kane on the opposite wing, that trio could do a lot of damage moving forward.Josh Bailey, LW/RW, New York IslandersOwnership percentage: 8.2By their own admission, the Islanders top line of Bailey, John Tavares, and rookie Anthony Beauvillier (ownership percentage: 1.0) is starting to click -- as supported further by Baileys beauty no-look assist on the captains first-period goal in Mondays 2-1 overtime win over the Calgary Flames. The clubs top power play -- including Tavares and Bailey -- also looks to be heating up after a dismal launch to the campaign. Owners is deeper leagues may want to jump on the 27-year-old winger before the option fades. Additional note: Ryan Strome has sat as a healthy scratch for two straight contests. Bench until further notice.Marian Gaborik, RW, Los Angeles KingsOwnership percentage: 7.5A broken foot suffered at this falls World Cup, and its like weve entirely forgotten about the veteran winger who scored 30-plus goals seven times in his NHL career (27 goals in 69 games only two seasons ago). While more prosperous days are in the past for the 34-year-old, hes hardly worth the fantasy brush-off altogether. A top-six role with the Kings awaits Gaborik, following another game or two of warm-up.Brayden Point, C/LW, Tampa Bay LightningOwnership percentage: 1.6Disclosure: Our heightened interest in Point is founded on all of one period of play between the Lightning and Bruins this past Sunday, as coach Jon Cooper noted, via the Tampa Bay Times:After playing most of this season at the wing, rookie Brayden Point got to play his natural center position in the third period, and he looked good with [Jonathan] Drouin. Right now youre looking to see what different guys can do in situations, Cooper said. What we were doing wasnt working. Point is a natural center. We put him in there, and once again, he didnt disappoint.So this could amount to the start of gorgeous scoring chemistry between two talented forwards in their early 20s ... or nothing at all. Hes worth a speculative add in order to find out.Nick Cousins, C, Philadelphia FlyersOwnership percentage: 0.4A knee injury suffered by Sean Couturier sees Cousins take over the centermans spot on a line with Travis Konecny and Wayne Simmonds. With Couturier out four to six weeks, the 23-year-old should get an extended look in that plum role.DefensemenJonas Brodin, Minnesota WildOwnership percentage: 10.5Five assists and one goal in a half dozen games have us, once again, paying closer attention to Brodin. Especially since three of his most recent four points counted with the man advantage. As a bonus for some of you out there, the 24-year-old also has 10 blocked shots in his past quartet of contests.Troy Stecher, Vancouver CanucksOwnership percentage: 0.7Game by game, Stecher appears to be getting more comfortable in his Vancouver digs. Now with Alexander Edler (fractured finger) out four to six weeks, the Canucks will need more from their 22-year-old rookie defenseman. This kid isnt scared to shoot the puck (41 shots in just 13 games), block a shot or throw a hit. And he skated a season-high 24:30 -- including a defense-leading 2:24 with the extra skater -- in Saturdays wild affair with over the Colorado Avalanche. While were still discussing pure potential over any real scoring statistics, Stecher nevertheless might be worth a flier in deeper leagues.GoaltendersMike Smith, Arizona CoyotesOwnership percentage: 20.1While were indeed wary of championing a fantasy goalie for one of the most porous teams in the league -- their 3.15 goals against per game is the fourth most in the NHL this season -- Smith has been flat-out awesome in three of his past four consecutive starts, allowing five total goals on 121 shots in wins over the Sharks and Oilers (twice). Plus, theres the obvious upside to enlisting a netminder who faces more shots, on average, than anyone else: the potential for a lovely save percentage if he manages to stop nearly all of them.Jonathan Bernier, Anaheim DucksOwnership percentage: 7.5A quarter of the way through 2016-17, and theres no arguing Bernier has been better (2.02 goals-against average, .933 save percentage) than the Ducks top banana John Gibson. That prompts Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register to suggest the club may want to run with their understudy for the time being:Bernier continues to give the Ducks some effective goaltending in what is still a backup role. Perhaps some thought may need to be given toward letting Bernier have the net for a bit of time. It isnt that John Gibson has been bad or even pedestrian in his starts but this is a team that needs to start getting a run together and right now, it is responding to Bernier. Hes now won four of his last five starts, with the only loss coming in a 14-round shootout. Theyll need Gibson and this way he doesnt get overworked in the early part of the schedule.Yeah, youll want shares of Bernier in the event he does start seeing more action.Lowered expectationsJames Neal, LW/RW, Nashville PredatorsOwnership percentage: 92.5Placed on IR with an upper-body injury, Neal is out for the remainder of this week at minimum. Following his call-up from AHL Milwaukee, Kevin Fiala skated on a line with Mike Ribeiro and Craig Smith on Sunday. The 20-year-old prospect has eight points in seven games with the Admirals this season.Jimmy Vesey, LW, New York RangersOwnership percentage: 52.1After making much noise with six goals in his first 10 NHL games, Vesey has since quieted. Tucked away on the Rangers fourth line -- he played only 11 minutes against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday -- the Harvard product has only two assists in his past seven contests. A valuable asset in dynasty leagues, Vesey would best fit on your bench until his fortunes change.

Vapormax Flyknit 3 Blue Fury . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Ronnie Stanley wont have the luxury of watching from the sideline to learn how to play left tackle in the NFL.The Baltimore Ravens werent looking for an apprentice when they nabbed Stanley out of Notre Dame with the sixth overall pick in the 2016 draft. They expected the 6-foot-6, 320-pounder to start somewhere, perhaps at guard or right tackle.The recent release of Eugene Monroe, however, means Stanley now sits atop the depth chart at what is widely considered to be the most important position on the offense line.Stanleys priority will be protecting quarterback Joe Flacco, whos returning from a serious knee injury that forced him to miss the final six weeks of the 2015 season. The last thing the Ravens need is for Flacco to get struck from the blind side, and Stanley knows it.Its been going good, but definitely I feel a lot of pressure, the rookie said after practice Wednesday. Being put in such a high-valued position of blocking for a player like Joe Flacco, Im pretty much one of the five responsible for his well-being. But I think I can handle it.Fortunately for Stanley, he learned the finer points of the position within one of the most esteemed college football programs in the country.While playing with the Irish under head coach Brian Kelly and offensive line coach Harry Hiestand -- both of whom have NFL roots -- Stanley made 26 consecutive starts at left tackle over his final two seasons.I want to give a ton of credit to coach Hiestand, Stanley said. Hes done a tremendous job getting guys ready for what to expect.Two weeks into training camp, Stanley has handled every obstacle in his path -- from learning the playbook to fending off defensive ends and linebackers.Thats a premier position in the National Football League, and Ronnie continues to prrogress manning that job as a rookie, coach John Harbaugh said.ddddddddddddHes doing well. All positive so far. Up to this point, hes proven to be up to the challenge.Stanley is receiving on-the-job training from one of the best linemen in the game, five-time Pro Bowl guard Marshal Yanda, who is thus far impressed with what hes seen.He has the right mindset. He is a hard worker and keeps his head down, and I love a rookie like that, Yanda said. I love a rookie that stays quiet and does his job and just produces on the field. Just do what you do on the field. He is doing everything the right way, so we will see.Offensive coordinator Marc Trestman agreed.Hes had a very good start. Hes got an excellent demeanor, Trestman said. He carries himself with a quiet confidence. Hes doing good things over there, and hes just working to get better every day.Some rookies buy fancy cars and lavish homes after receiving their signing bonus. Stanley invested in items he hopes will make him a better player. Hes hired a masseuse, a nutritionist and a personal trainer.Im very blessed and fortunate to be able to afford those kinds of things, he said.Stanley was on his own when it came to performing in the annual rookie show. He was forced to wear a chicken suit while singing Ignition Remix by R Kelly for the veterans.Tough work, but he handled it like a pro.He sang his song. He got the guys singing along with him and having a great time, Harbaugh said. Its nice when you are a first-round pick, effectively kind of the leader of the rookie class, and make the statement: Well have some fun, and I can fit in.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
