Most people love the idea of discovering a gem. Thats often how fantasy footballers see rookies -- people love to brag they had a breakout superstar player in his rookie year.While rookies have become more relevant in fantasy the past few seasons, you dont want to litter your team with them.Rookies this year dont appear to be as good as previous classes, but there are some good players that should be drafted and many that wont start with big roles but could grow.Keep these rookies on the radar:---DEVONTAE BOOKER (RB, Broncos)Booker is going to be the backup running back to C.J. Anderson. Booker has the skills to be a three-down back and Anderson has not been able to stay healthy the last two seasons. Booker is good between the tackles, has good vision and can catch the football. If you draft Anderson, Booker is someone you want to draft as a handcuff.---TYLER BOYD (WR, Bengals)Boyd is a possession receiver that could see a big role quickly. Boyd is vying with Brandon LaFell for a starting spot and Boyd has impressed in the preseason. The Bengals lost more than 150 targets with the departure of Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu, leaving a clear opportunity for Boyd.---COREY COLEMAN (WR, Browns)Coleman is explosive and is dangerous after the catch. He was the first receiver drafted this year at 15th overall. He will be the No. 1 receiver for the Browns while Josh Gordon is suspended and the offense will be better under coach Hue Jackson.---EZEKIEL ELLIOTT (RB, Cowboys)There has been a lot of hype for the fourth overall pick. He is being drafted in the first round of many fantasy drafts. Dont hesitate -- the Cowboys will rely on him heavily. Elliott is in a unique position for most rookie running backs: an exceptional talent who can catch and pass block well and playing on a team with one of the best offensive lines.---DERRICK HENRY (RB, Titans)Henry is a big back at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds and starts the season in a complementary role to DeMarco Murray. The Titans want to run the ball a lot and Henry is a solid mid-round pick that could see more touches if he runs well.---TAJAE SHARPE (WR, Titans)Sharpes stock has risen due to his success in the preseason. Dorial Green-Beckham was traded to the Eagles and Sharpe is slated to start opposite Rishard Matthews. Sharpe has excellent hands and runs good routes. The Titans dont figure to pass a lot, but Sharpe comes cheap as a late-round pick.---STERLING SHEPARD (WR, Giants)Shepard is going to see a lot of snaps as the starter playing opposite Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants, who were sixth in pass attempts last season, will pass often again. Shepard runs good routes and will get a lot of targets in this offense.---MICHAEL THOMAS (WR, Saints)Thomas has good hands, quickness and size at 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds. That makes him a red zone threat in a pass-heavy offense. He should fill the role once held by Marques Colston, though the Saints spread the ball around.---Others to keep on the radar: Kenneth Dixon (RB, Ravens), Josh Doctson (WR, Redskins), Will Fuller (WR, Texans), Tyler Higbee (TE, Rams), Jordan Howard (RB, Bears), Malcolm Mitchell (WR, Patriots), C.J. Prosise (RB, Seahawks), Wendell Smallwood (RB, Eagles), Laquon Treadwell (WR, Vikings), DeAndre Washington (RB, Raiders).---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com .

NEW YORK -- WNBA President Lisa Borders says she hopes that rescinding the fines the league imposed over black warm-up shirts worn in solidarity for shooting victims will lead to a fresh start on social activism for the players and their union.I would tell you in reflection, recognizing that we were at an impasse, we needed to move forward in the future, she said Monday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. In order to do that, stop what youre doing currently, take a breath and re-engage. Rescinding the fines allowed us to do that, along with the Olympic break.It had been a tense week for the WNBA and its players after the league decided to impose $500 fines on three teams for wearing the black warm-up shirts in response to recent shootings by and against police officers, saying the shirts were a uniform violation.The fines seemed to galvanize the players, who used postgame interview sessions and social media to voice their displeasure. There also was public criticism of the fines, including from NBA star Carmelo Anthony. The league announced Saturday that the fines had been withdrawn.When we came to this decision most recently we realized it was a very complex issue, Borders said. There was no right way to deal with it. We had a traditional response to a nontraditional situation. Our players wanted to lift their voices on the court as well as off the court.The players were happy that the league had changed course and rescinded the fines.Because of this and how we were able to communicate as players, thats really important, said Tamika Catchings, who is presidennt of the players association.dddddddddddd Thats a great thing. Weve gotten players more engaged with the union and on social issues. Now I feel because of this, it brought our players home and more together and more focused on our voice and what we collectively stand for.Although the league is on a break until the end of August, Borders said conversations have renewed between the WNBA and its players. They will talk a lot during the monthlong Olympic break.If we all work together, well make some incremental progress, she said. No one has dealt with this before in this format or this forum. Well get some things right and some things wrong.Borders said rescinding the fines had already been in the works and was decided on Friday, hours before the Rev. Al Sharpton and his organization, the National Action Network, said they would pay the fines.Rev. Sharpton is an amazing man and had an amazing history in civil rights. He was working when my grandfather was working in civil rights, said Borders, who said the Ku Klux Klan burned a cross into her grandfathers lawn nearly 60 years ago. I appreciate all he has done and all he stands for, but we had this done inside our house before Rev. Sharpton got engaged.The president stopped short of saying it was a mistake to fine the players, but she did say that she hopes to learn from it.Not going to do do-overs, she said. Learn from what happened in the last 72 hours, help our behavior on a go-forward basis.
