Valve has just kicked off pre-orders for its long-awaited Steam Machine, offering four options: two with 512GB of storage and two with 2TB, with one of each pair bundling a Steam Controller. The prices are indeed quite high, as feared following the storage and memory crisis. The basic Steam Machine (512GB, no controller) costs $1049, while adding a controller to it makes it $1128. The base 2TB version costs $1349, while the 2TB Steam Machine with a controller will set you back $1428. The 2TB versions also include two extra faceplates in red fabric and solid walnut colors.

Apple's planned debut of its iPhone 18 Pro lineup is fast approaching, with mere weeks left until the high-profile launch spectacle kicks off in early September. Naturally, as the proximity to the launch event increases, so does the supply chain's confidence in what the next-gen iPhone Pro duo would look like, and a consensus now appears to be forming around a thicker camera plateau to cater to the lineup's advanced camera sensors. Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro duo will likely sport a heftier camera plateau to house a 48MP ultra-large camera sensor that reportedly comes with a variable aperture optionality [β¦]
The NFCβs Team of the Decade is probably the Eagles. Theyβve won five division titles and two Super Bowls in that time, and they have a 101-63-1 record in that time. The Chiefs, Bills, Ravens and Steelers have better records, but no one in the NFC is ahead of them. But the Seahawks are right there. They only have one Super Bowl title in the last 10 years and only two division titles, but then the NFC West has been the best division in football for a big chunk of that time so big win totals have been harder. They have the same 101-63-1 record as the Eagles in the last 10 years, and their worst year in that time (7-10 in 2021) is better than anyone elseβs worst (the Eagles went 4-11-1 in 2020). And now theyβre coming off the top of the world, and theyβre at worst the No. 2 favorite entering the 2026 season. Itβs good times in Seattle. Again.
Barner nearly doubled his target (38 to 68), reception (30 to 52) and touchdown (4 to 7) totals from his rookie 2024 to 2025, and he more than doubled his receiving yards (245 to 519). And he found a new role, and a new play: The Barnyard. The Seahawks brought the Tush Push into their offense, but instead of Sam Darnold, itβs the 6-foot-6 Barner (a former quarterback) who leads the way. It only led to one touchdown last year, but he gained 10 first downs on 11 carries in the regular and postseason combined. So in the aggregate, we have maybe the No. 2 pass catcher in a good offense, who also has rushing touchdown upside, and heβs only 24. Oh, and heβs going 25th among tight ends in early ADP. Iβll buy that.
Bust: Rashid Shaheed, WR
Shaheed is a much better idea than he is a fantasy product. Heβs never topped 800 scrimmage yards or 5 touchdowns in a season. For all his upside as a big play waiting to happen, heβs just not consistent on a down-to-down basis. When the Seahawks traded for Shaheed last year, there was all sorts of excitement about him joining a good offense that lacked a reliable WR2. But the primary reason for excitement was reuniting Shaheed with his former New Orleans offensive coordinator in Klint Kubiak. And despite that reunion, Shaheed only put up 252 scoreless scrimmage yards in nine regular-season games as a Seahawk, with another 100 yards in the postseason. He did score a couple of return touchdowns, which boosts his numbers a bit, but itβs not enough. Shaheed is fun to watch. But just enjoy him as an idea, not as a fantasy contributor. (Note: If your league offers points for return yardage, I mostly take this back.)
Bold Prediction: Jadarian Price Is the Top Rooking Running Back
This oneβs out there on the boldness, but Iβm intrigued by it. Barring someone like a Kaytron Allen (in Washington) or Nicholas Singleton (in Tennessee) surprisingly seizing a bell cow role, the only real candidates to lead rookie RBs in fantasy scoring are Price and his former college teammate Jeremiyah Love in Arizona. Well, Price landed in Seattle, which had the third-highest run rate in the NFL last year, and Loveβs Cardinals had the lowest rate. To be sure, some of that was the disaster of a backfield the Cardinals had last year β after James Conner and Trey Benson went down, the team had to go with guys like Michael Carter, Bam Knight and Emari Demercado. But even without considering the bad running game, this just isnβt a team set up to run a lot. Itβs a bad defense with an offensive line ranked 21st in our offensive line rankings, and it has three good-to-great pass catchers in Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. And of course, the Cardinals still have (for now) Conner, Benson and offseason signee Tyler Allgeier on the roster. Love wonβt necessarily lose time to them, but they arenβt going to disappear, either. Meanwhile, Price is going to get every shot to be a bell cow early in the season. With Zach Charbonnet likely out to start the season, his only real competition are George Holani and Emanuel Wilson. Itβs an offense that wants to work through the run and, after Jaxon Smith-Njigba, doesnβt have many sure things at pass catcher. If Price can start strong, and if the Seahawks and Cardinals are as good and bad, respectively, as they were last year, itβs set up for Price to top his former teammate in Year 1.

The pricing question has hounded Grand Theft Auto 6 for the past couple of years, ever since Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter suggested that Rockstar Games could price the game at $100 and get away with it.
