ASHBURN, Va. -- Not too long ago, Ty Nsekhe was making $150 a week playing Arena Football and running on hope.Now hes the starting left tackle for the Washington Redskins -- an opportunity afforded him after Pro Bowler Trent Williams suspension and years of patience. Nsekhe has four games to prove what he has always believed and tried to show during every tryout: he belongs in the NFL.I always knew in the back of my mind I was destined to be here, so something just stayed with me, Nsekhe said this week. I cant really tell you what it was, but I just knew I was going to be here. Im here.Nsekhes travels took him from Texas State to Tarleton State, a Division II school, and then to AF2, the Arena Football Leagues developmental program. At 6-foot-8, Nsekhes size garnered NFL attention, and he said Miami was about to sign him in 2011 when the lockout began.If the AFLs San Antonio Talons hadnt called in 2012, Nsekhe was content to continue operating his private security business. Reluctant to go back to banging up his body for $150 a week -- with a $50 bonus for a win -- he needed the Talons to match his salary.When they did, he was back in the game.I went down there, and the rest is history, Nsekhe said.Nsekhe had brief stays with the Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams, New Orleans Saints and the Redskins, and he bounced to the Canadian Football League and back to the Arena League.After a career of catch and release, he signed with Washington in May 2015 at 29 and started two games in place of Williams last season.All I really wanted was to have the opportunity to become an NFL player, he said. I just wanted somebody to believe in me and give me a chance, and I appreciate that.That opportunity came from coach Jay Gruden and the Redskins, who believed Nsekhe had the size to play left tackle in the NFL but was very raw.Experienced offensive line coach Bill Callahan helped him develop his technique, with Williams and right tackle Morgan Moses also lending a hand in the learning process.Luckily, we had the opportunity to keep him here and let him develop in a system and learn the system, the calls, and just watch him progressively get better and better, Gruden said. And hes been a joy to watch, quite frankly.Right now Nsekhe isnt thinking about where he would be if football didnt work out -- though he often does. Right now, hes focused on starting for the Redskins.Just everything falling into place, he said. I dont know. Sometimes things happen for a reason, and you cant explain them sometimes.Williams suspension, imposed last week for violations of the NFLs substance abuse policy, allows Nsekhe to show what he can do for the Redskins -- and, as a restricted free agent once the season ends, perhaps for other teams looking for a capable tackle.Washington general manager Scot McCloughan has said Nsekhe can be a starter, and Nsekhe will have a chance to show that potential beginning with a game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.Gruden said little will change with the Redskins offense because he has faith in Nsekhes ability to fill in for Williams.Quarterback Kirk Cousins isnt worried, either, knowing Nsekhe will be protecting his blind side.Mentally, he really understands it and knows where to be and who to get on each protection and each play in the run game, Cousins said. Hes got a big frame and it really helps to have that size, and hes worked really hard.It hasnt been an easy path, but so many of these guys in an NFL locker room, they wouldnt be here if they had given up at the first sign of adversity. Tys a great example of someone who just kept pushing and kept going, and now, hes in a great position to be successful.Game notes Gruden said an MRI on WR DeSean Jacksons left shoulder showed rotator cuff issues. Jackson missed practice for the second consecutive day, and his status for the Vikings game is uncertain. ... Gruden confirmed undrafted rookie Robert Kelley remains the starting running back and was noncommittal about the role of former No. 1 Matt Jones. ... Moses (sprained left ankle) and S Will Blackmon (broken left thumb) were limited participants in practice Thursday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Adeiny Hechavarria Jersey .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition.

Wade Boggs Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. Working the waiver wire is crucial to succeeding in fantasy basketball. With so many games, injuries and endless shifts in rotations throughout the season, we need to source stats from free agency in order to maximize our imaginary rosters.In this weekly series, we identify players available in more than 40 percent of ESPN leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below-ordered by ownership rate at each position-can contribute positively to fantasy rosters.Point guardPatrick Beverley, Houston Rockets (Owned in 33.7 percent of ESPN leagues): The Rockets have proved to be nearly indomitable with Beverley in the lineup. Part of this success is fueled by his elite defense, as he rates third among point guards in defensive real plus-minus and over the past 10 games is ninth among guards in steals per game. With 1.9 3-pointers, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game over his past 10 games, lets look past the paltry scoring output and instead focus on these rare contributions in crucial categories.Sergio Rodriguez, Philadelphia 76ers (20.9): Only Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul and James Harden have averaged more passes per game than Rodriguez this season. Eighth in frontcourt touches per game and with Jerryd Bayless out for the season, Rodriguez is a cheap source of dimes, steals, and 3-pointers.J.J. Barea, Dallas Mavericks (10.0): The crowd understandably had to move on from Barea as he was sidelined with a significant calf injury, but now that hes on the mend, its time to resurface he ranks 13th in frontcourt touches and ninth in drives per game during a career-best offensive sample earlier this season.Shooting guardTyler Johnson, Miami Heat (45.9): Minutes are the coin of the realm in fantasy hoops, while Johnson is playing nearly 33 per game over the past 10 and is producing helpful metrics from beyond the arc and 1.2 steals and an atypical 0.8 blocks over this sample.Gary Harris, Denver Nuggets (24.7): Back in the starting mix for the Nuggets up-tempo offensive scheme, Harris has averaged 17 points and 1.5 steals and 3-pointers over the past two games.Nick Young, Los Angeles Lakers (22.4): Luke Waltons fantasy-friendly system supports Youngs awesome shooting output, as hes become a specialist from beyond the arc for the Lakers. Young is fifth among guards in 3-point attempts perr game, just behind this Steph Curry character and just ahead of Klay Thompson.ddddddddddddSmall forwardMaurice Harkless, Portland Trail Blazers (48.8): Available in early half of ESPN leagues, Harkless is 10th in steals per game over the past 10 games and provides a unique 3-and-D profile for fantasy purposes.T.J. Warren, Phoenix Suns (39.6): Back Saturday from a 13-game absence, its wise to prove proactive with Phoenixs emergent wing, as hes sixth among forwards in points per touch and should resume a heavy workload in the games ahead.Bojan Bogdanovic, Brooklyn Nets (32.2): As a starter over the past eight games, Bogdanovic has emerged as a worthy fantasy asset with two 3-pointers per game and 17 points per on a Brooklyn team leading the league in pace.Power forwardErsan Ilyasova, Philadelphia 76ers (39.3): Even with the increased traffic for minutes and touches in the Philly frontcourt with Nerlens Noel back in the mix, Ilyasova continues to claim a firm stake of shots and minutes as the teams top stretch four. Over the past seven starts, hes averaged 17.3 points, 9.1 boards and a helpful two 3-pointers per game.Marvin Williams, Charlotte Hornets (29.0): An injury-plagued start to the campaign disappointed draft investors, yet Williams is surging recently with results in points and steals.Jon Leuer, Detroit Pistons (25.4): With at least 17 points in three of the past four games and a steady role in the Pistons tight rotation, Leuer can help in deeper formats.Terrence Jones, New Orleans Pelicans (17.5): With 11.6 points and eight boards over the past five games, Jones has provided 1.8 3-pointers and 1.2 swats per game over the past five games.CenterCody Zeller, Charlotte Hornets (24.8): Zeller has emerged as a viable fantasy asset thanks to playing the best interior defense on the Hornets while capably cleaning the glass.John Henson, Milwaukee Bucks (21.4): Blocks are an absolutely scarce statistic to source from the waiver wire, while Henson is fifth in the league in blocks per game over the past 10 with a 2.4 per game. As a steady rim protector for the Bucks, Henson is a valuable depth addition in leagues with 12 teams.Kosta Koufos, Sacramento Kings (2.2): Available in well over 90 percent of ESPN leagues, Koufos is thriving with extended exposure for a Kings team in need of his scoring in the second unit.
