d the day with six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. Green may return but it wont be this week, which leaves Boyd to feast on a Ravens team that has allowed 17 touchdowns and an average of 25.1 fantasy points to wide receivers.ZACH ERTZ (TE, Eagles)Ertz has received 26 targets over the las

Wacky stats are littered across mixed martial arts -- and really, professional sports in general. Dive deep enough into the numbers, theres a compelling stat line on just about anything.Thirteen absorbed punches in four combined fights, though? That is truly absurd.Demian Maia ran his welterweight win streak up to six on Saturday, submitting Carlos Condit via rear-naked choke in 112 seconds. According to Fightmetric, in the past 13 months, Maia has shared the cage with Condit, Matt Brown, Gunnar Nelson and Neil Magny -- and been hit exactly 13 times. This stat boggles the mind.So, what does it mean moving forward? Heres What We Learned from last weekends lineup of cage fights.Maia absolutely, 100 percent deserves a UFC title shot -- right after that other guyIf Maias recent run wasnt already amazing enough, consider hes also doing it at age 38. You really cant say it enough -- this is remarkable, remarkable stuff were seeing.But Maias streak -- nor the fact hes up there in age, relatively speaking -- doesnt skip him ahead of Stephen Thompson at 170 pounds. Thompson is currently on a seven-fight win streak and his past two performances in particular -- convincing victories over Johny Hendricks and Rory MacDonald -- have clearly cemented his position of No. 1 contender.If he has to, Maia says hell wait for the winner of a potential matchup between current champ Tyron Woodley and Thompson. The interesting reality here is that Maia will be taking a gamble, whether he waits for a title shot or not.The thing about waiting for a title shot is there is really never a guarantee youre actually next. And particularly in this situation, I mean, there is really no guarantee for Maia. Youve got Georges St-Pierre talking comeback. Nick Diaz is re-entering the fold. Woodley is trying to call his own shots and hes only interested in big money fights, which Maia does not represent.At the same time, as Maia himself pointed out after defeating Condit, he is a little older and any loss would be a dagger into the side of his title aspirations. So, if he does elect to stay active and try to pick up another win, which would hopefully force the issue of getting a title shot, he accepts that risk of a potential loss.My guess is Maia will stick to his original response and wait it out. Doing so actually worked for Woodley, but to be fair, Woodley later admitted hed never do anything like that again because he had so little control over his own career. Maia is definitely deserving of a title shot in 2017, but well see if thats enough to get him one.Drew Bledsoe Womens Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Drew Bledsoe Patriots Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. http://www.shoptheofficialpatriots.com/Elite-Tom-Brady-Patriots-Jersey/ .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. John Hannah Patriots Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. Sony Michel Patriots Jersey . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week.After several relatively quiet weeks, there was an explosion of injuries in Week 11, with several players saying goodbye for the rest of the season. As difficult as those injuries may be to overcome, they have also created some opportunities for fantasy owners to bolster their teams. Lets take a look at some of the better waiver wire selections as we head into Week 12.---CARSON WENTZ (QB, Eagles)The rookie has cooled off after a strong start and hes only exceeded 300 passing yards twice all season. However, the Eagles rushing attack is down to third-stringer Wendell Smallwood and they have a sweet matchup against the Packers Monday night. Green Bay has allowed 22 passing touchdowns and a league-high 8.6 yards per pass attempt.COLIN KAEPERNICK (QB, 49ers)Kaepernick is averaging 23.4 fantasy points per game, which puts him in the top 10 among quarterbacks. There is no reason to worry about starting him if you need to replace Andrew Luck (concussion) for Week 12 or stash him as insurance for the fantasy playoffs. His rushing ability almost guarantees a high floor every week.TIM HIGHTOWER (RB, Saints)Mark Ingram is in the concussion protocol but even if he can play Week 12, there is a very good chance Hightower will still receive a healthy number of touches. Hes averaging 4.2 yards per carry and hes been very productive in the passing game. At the very least, he should be owned in all deep leagues and by anyone relying on Ingram.WENDELL SMALLWOOD (RB, Eagles)Ryan Mathews (knee) is likely to miss Mondays game; he was spotted in a knee brace after injuring his MCL. Darren Sproles (rib) could play but may be limited. That leaves Smallwood as the next man up. He runs hard and could see plenty of action in the red zone. Hes also a capable receiver, which makes him worth adding in point-per-reception leagues.CHRIS IVORY (RB, Jaguars)The injury to T.J. Yeldon (ankle) could force him to miss Week 12 and possibly more. The Jaguars will lean on Ivory, especially in the passing game. Hes averaging 7.1 yards per reception and will produce if given a significant volume of touches. Ivory is a strong pickup in PPR formats.MIKE GILLISLEE (RB, Bills)It looks as though LeSean McCoy will play Sunday despite a dislocated thumbb but thats not guaranteed.ddddddddddddGillislee should be owned regardless because when called upon, he averages 5.7 yards per carry and hes a very reliable receiver. McCoy owners need to own Gillislee, a solid RB2 if McCoy is limited.ELI ROGERS (WR, Steelers)Sammie Coates is playing with broken fingers and has caught exactly one pass since Week 5. Meanwhile, Rogers has received at least five targets per game since Week 3, which makes him the WR2. The Colts are allowing a league-high 285 passing yards per game with 19 touchdowns. Only six teams have allowed more passing TDs, which makes Rogers a solid play this week.MARQISE LEE (WR, Jaguars)Lee gets a steady stream of targets every week and has caught at least four passes in all but two games this season. Allen Hurns has all but disappeared, so Lee is clearly second fiddle to Allen Robinson. Lee is a solid WR3 in PPR formats.TYLER BOYD (WR, Bengals)After the injured A.J. Green (hamstring) left Sundays game, Boyd stepped in as Andy Daltons favorite target. He finished the day with six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown. Green may return but it wont be this week, which leaves Boyd to feast on a Ravens team that has allowed 17 touchdowns and an average of 25.1 fantasy points to wide receivers.ZACH ERTZ (TE, Eagles)Ertz has received 26 targets over the last three games to become a safety blanket for Wentz. The Eagles schedule is peppered with favorable matchups for Ertz, making him a solid TE choice for the fantasy playoffs ahead. The Week 12 matchup with Green Bay is particularly good, as the Packers have allowed the second-most receiving yards to the TE position.C.J. FIEDOROWICZ (TE, Texans)The Texans TE has received at least seven targets in all but one of the last six games. Fiedorowicz is another TE with great matchups on the schedule ahead, as hell face the Packers, Colts and Bengals, whose defenses are among the most generous to the TE position. At worst, hes a terrific choice for playoff-bound teams looking for depth.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com ' ' '
