If there was any reason for Dallas not to match the level of guarantees and total value fellow 2016 draft picks Carson Wentz and Jared Goff got in their recent contracts, it should have gone away when Prescott picked apart the Giants with an elite passing performance (25-of-32, 405 yards, 4 TDs, perfect 158.3 rating). After the game, Cowboys owner/general manger Jerry Jones told reporters a new Prescott deal is “imminent....

The Bucs were dispatched 31-14 by the Cowboys, but quarterback Prescott was caught on camera throwing his helmet after extra points were missed. The Cowboys were in control of much of the NFL showdown, but Prescott was demanding more. He thought there was a chance of putting down a two-point play after they scored a touchdown, especially as Cowboys kicker Brett Maher was having an off-day and had missed some conversions....

Dale Earnhardt Jr. knew something had to change with his team. The overhaul began in 2012, mostly behind the scenes. There were hirings and firings — Earnhardt had to let go both his uncle and his cousin — and JRM finally began to utilize its resources at Hendrick Motorsports. Tough decisions were made, but the result is that JRM is now a Nationwide Series powerhouse.

A multicar wreck on Lap 228, also including Casey Mears, Paul Menard, Justin Allgaier and David Ragan, caused heavy damage to Earnhardt’s No. 88 Chevy and sent him to the garage. The initial contact occurred between Ragan and Mears, and as drivers tried to slow down and avoid the two cars Earnhardt plowed into the rear of Menard’s car.

Although the conduct reportedly does not fall under the umbrella of league changes and new policies announced by Gary Bettman on Monday, the undisclosed event was pivotal enough to take Monty’s job within a few days of the information reaching GM Jim Nill’s attention. In Tuesday’s press conference, Nill said the incident does not involve any players or employees — past or present — and that he was informed of the action this weekend before an investigation began on Sunday....

Daly also called it “doubtful” any formal vote will happen on a Seattle franchise between meetings in October and December. Seattle Hockey Partners, the group looking to bring the NHL to the Pacific Northwest, will make a presentation to board’s executive committee on Oct. 2. No vote will take place that day. “We would have the vote in person,” Daly said, referring to the annual December meeting that will take place in Florida....

Hamlin was in critical condition after suffering a cardiac arrest during a primetime U.S. National Football League game on Monday. The 24-year-old Buffalo Bills player fell to the ground onto his back after colliding with wide receiver Tee Higgins 5:58 minutes into the first quarter of the match against the Cincinnati Bengals. Higgins’ helmet appeared to hit Hamlin in the chest. After receiving medical attention on-field for more than 30 minutes, he was rushed to University of Cincinnati Medical Center for further testing and treatment, the Bills said....

With victories over The Miz and Morrison in singles competition and WrestleMania 37 triumph, Damian Priest has carved a path of success on the red brand. His path has also seen its fair share of roadblocks, with Sheamus emerging as one of the biggest. Priest beat Sheamus on RAW in a singles match, which laid the foundation for their rivalry. The Archer of Infamy challenged The Celtic Warrior to a United States Championship match at Summerslam and emerged victorious....

Also in front of Kluber, Zack Godley and Marcus Stroman have been racking up strikeouts and going deep into games, and they both are in a good situations with their respective matchups tonight. Kluber faces the Red Sox, who don’t strike out much. Although he can easily rack them up, it’s not always a guarantee, and tonight might be a night he doesn’t rack them up. Drew Pomeranz, Luis Severino and Rich Hill are in the same boat as Kluber....

There are only eight games on the MLB schedule today, with the annual Patriots’ Day game in Boston getting underway at 11:05 am ET. Many in DFS contests will pay up for Noah Syndergaard or Jose Fernandez, but there are several potential value picks lower in the rankings for those in GPP tournaments. If you’re really feeling contrarian, you can grab Jerad Eickhoff, who’s pitched well this year, and go head-to-head with all the Syndergaard owners....

There’s a lot of talent at all price levels on the mound Wednesday, but unfortunately several of the aces and values are pitching in the afternoon slate. Raisel Iglesias, Kyle Hendricks, Carlos Martinez, Garrett Richards, Chris Sale, Taijuan Walker and Danny Salazar are all starting before 7 p.m. ET. To make matters worse, several are facing off against each other. MORE: Optimal lineup | DFS Playbook | Hitter picks | DFS Playbook PRO...

Kevin Durant will be a game-time decision, but thankfully Golden State is playing on the East Coast at 7 pm so we should know his status right away. LeBron James missed the Cavs last game, so we’ll need to make sure he is back in the lineup, as well. Kyle Lowry is yet another star player who is iffy for Monday. His status currently sits as “out indefinitely”, so obviously he shouldn’t be counted on for now....

The following players, consisting of three forwards and two guards who each hold a price tag of $6,500 or less for Wednesday’s slate, are not necessarily a group that should all be on a single roster, but rather suggestions that have the potential to outperform their respective low costs and help you save up for high-priced studs at other positions. This is a key strategy in large FanDuel contests....

Ideally the Matty-Julio stack avoids chalk with the help of Aaron Rodgers and Mike Evans going for slightly cheaper.
