ducer.---TYROD TAYLOR (QB, Bills)Taylor threw for just 20 TDs last year, but he also rushed for 598 yards and four scores. T-Mobile has the coolest nickname in the NFL and the potential to be a top 10 Fantasy quarterback. He should throw more TD passes this year with Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods hea

Joe Allen is relishing the more advanced role that has seen him become an unlikely goalscoring hero since his switch to Stoke City this season.The Welshman had traditionally been a more defensive-minded player during his time at previous clubs Swansea and Liverpool, but he has already netted four times in nine Premier League appearances for the Potters - as many as he managed in four years at Anfield.Allen, 26, who faces former club Swansea on Monday Night Football, told Sky Sports that Mark Hughes decision to move him into a No 10 role is the primary reason behind his new prowess. Stoke vs Swansea October 31, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass I think the biggest change has been the position, said Allen. Obviously things seem to have fallen my way as well but Ive been given a much more advanced role here, which means Im getting myself into more goal-scoring positions. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Weve also got players in this team with creativity, and theyve been able to put a few things on a plate for me. Im obviously not the type of player who will tower over and score headers or be a handful for centre-halves, but there are different ways of picking up goals and theyre the type [Ive been scoring] recently.The way the team has been set up provides a platform for the likes of me, with Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri roaming on the left and right, and that ability to interchange has been one of the reasons its worked. Allen evades a sliding challenge from Dider Ndong of Sunderland Stoke failed to win any of their first seven Premier League games of the season, but their recent upturn in form has also seen a dramatic improvement from the likes of Arnautovic and Shaqiri - the latter of whom scored a stunning brace in the 2-0 win over Hull last weekend.And Allen believes that his attacking midfield partners are as good as anyone else in the country on their day.I had the chance to work at a club like Liverpool, but in both Marko and Shaqiri youve got players who technically are right up there, said the Welshman. When the pair of them are hot theyre as dangerous as anyone in the league.It was one of the reasons I was excited to join Stoke, as I looked from the outside at the players they had and thought I could see the team doing a lot of damage as the season went on. Xherdan Shaqiri of Stoke City celebrates scoring his teams second goal against Hull Stoke host Allens former club Swansea on Monday Night Football, and the midfielder admitted it can feel a bit strange to play against the side he was at from the age of nine until his move to Liverpool in 2012. However, he insisted that connection has never hindered his performances against them.Its a fixture I always look out for because theyre still my team and I always want them to do really well, bar when I play against them! he said.The build-up to the game is always a little strange, but as soon as Ive got out there on the pitch its never something thats affected my emotions or how I play.I think itll be a good match, and [hopefully] with the run and momentum weve built up in the last couple of weeks its a good chance for us to get three points.

Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing.Uncovering sleepers in fantasy football isnt easy with so many players seeking and finding much of the same information.So its an advantage to consider sleepers not just hidden stars but as players who should outperform their projected fantasy draft positions.Be bold and take a chance, and you could find yourself with true difference-makers who can propel your fantasy team to greater heights in 2016.---WENDELL SMALLWOOD (RB, Eagles)Ryan Mathews has played 16 games just once in six seasons, and current backup Kenjon Barner is too small to take over as a featured runner if Mathews gets hurt again. Smallwood has been slowed by a preseason injury in his rookie year, but he is versatile and will be ready to contribute when called on during the regular season.---CHRIS THOMPSON (RB, Redskins)He is the teams best pass-catching running back, and the Redskins will be throwing often this year. Matt Jones is already having preseason performance and injury issues, and Thompson could end up being the only trustworthy running back on the roster, especially in point-per-reception formats.---JAY AJAYI (RB, Dolphins)Miami added Arian Foster, but he is a definite health risk. Ajayis preseason stock is falling because of the Foster addition, but at some point he will be back as a starter for the Dolphins and he should get a lot of work as a primary ball carrier.---SPENCER WARE (RB, Chiefs)He scored six times last year after Jamaal Charles went down with a knee injury, and could be in line to vulture some touchdowns this season as the Chiefs manage their true No. 1 running back. Should Charles go down again, Ware should be the preferred top option over Charcandrick West.---ELI ROGERS (WR, Steelers)Rogers is back after his 2015 season was ruined by a foot injury. An undrafted free agent, Rogers is pushing the struggling and more-ballyhooed Sammie Coates for his spot on the depth chart. Rogers is looking good in the preseason and has the promise to contribute in a potent passing game.---BRUCE ELLINGTON (WR, 49ers)Someone has to step forward to catch passes for the Niners, and that may not be Torrey Smith often enough. He is miscast aas a top wide receiver on an NFL team and will frequently be matched up against a top cover cornerback or extra defensive attention.dddddddddddd If Ellington can finally avoid injuries this year, he could emerge as a needed playmaker for San Francisco.---MIKE WALLACE (WR, Ravens)Wallace has been seemingly lost ever since he left Pittsburgh, but Wallace could be reborn in Baltimore. Joe Flacco throws very well downfield, a skill that seemed to be lacking for Wallaces past QBs, Ryan Tannehill and Teddy Bridgewater. The Ravens desperately need quality performers at WR, and Wallace has a great opportunity to seize here.---CHRIS HOGAN (WR, Patriots)As he did with Danny Woodhead and Wes Welker, Bill Belichick (or someone close to him) has raided the roster of a divisional opponent to pluck a player who can fit perfectly into the New England offense. Hogan is a big, nifty target who can vault quickly up the Patriots WR depth chart and become a quality statistical producer.---TYROD TAYLOR (QB, Bills)Taylor threw for just 20 TDs last year, but he also rushed for 598 yards and four scores. T-Mobile has the coolest nickname in the NFL and the potential to be a top 10 Fantasy quarterback. He should throw more TD passes this year with Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods healthy along with a rebound season from TE Charles Clay. Taylor should improve as a pocket passer and he is a dual threat with some true fantasy upside.---TYLER HIGBEE (TE, Rams)Most veteran Fantasy analysts never recommend rookie tight ends, but Higbee can be a notable exception. He is a converted wide receiver and he may have quite an opportunity to contribute in a Los Angeles passing game that seems to be devoid of quality targets. Higbee has already showed off the skills to be an effective possession receiver on key downs in the preseason. Hell go undrafted in many leagues, but consider taking him in the final round as a flier.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com . ' ' '
