Our strategy is centered around a stack of Steelers’ stars, then we’re filling in the rest of lineup with values and mostly under-the-radar picks at other positions.

The theme for NFL DFS in Week 2 was fairly clear: Elite wide receivers paid off and elite running backs ticked us off. Aside from Adrian Peterson, no other high-priced RB was worth owning on the Sunday slate. You would have been much better off with the likes of Dion Lewis and DeAngelo Williams.

When these teams met in Week 8 last year, the result was an epic 52-49 shootout between future Hall of Fame quarterbacks Drew Brees (511 yards and 7 touchdowns) and Eli Manning (350-6). It was a game that “helped” each secondary finish at the bottom of the NFL and each defense finish 31st and 32nd, respectively, against fantasy quarterbacks. The best news for those in DFS contests this week? These defenses didn’t look much better against the pass in Week 1....

Before the Cowboys’ frustrating 10-7 loss in New York at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night, Prescott’s worst game in his first season in Dallas was his first game. Since then it had been perfection on the road, first-half dominance, second-half heroics, and all-around veteran savvy. It added up to consistently gaudy passer ratings, and most important, 11 straight wins to help his team take command of the NFC East....

Sort of. During his speech at the TD Garden in Boston, the 14th Dalai Lama donned a Boston Bruins cap to pay homage to his hosts. Maybe this will help Boston start to climb out of the middle of the Eastern Conference?

NASCAR announced Thursday that it would require drivers to take the ImPACT test before the season and the test would be used to help clear a driver who suffers a concussion. Earnhardt did not inform NASCAR personnel of his concussions as he was quickly treated following the first accident at an August tire test at Kansas Speedway, and then was not looked at by medical personnel after he drove the car back to the garage following an Oct....

He is making significant progress, however, and credits not only his doctors but also the help of his family and friends. At the top of that list is his fiancée, Amy Reimann, whom Earnhardt says plays a key role in his recovery. MORE: Key career moments | Junior quiets retirement talk | Sunday observations “Amy has been there every step of the way pushing me to stay focused and to realize the progress we have made and to keep working hard,” said Earnhardt, who will miss the rest of the 2016 NASCAR season but hopes to return for 2017’s season-opening Daytona 500....

It was the 14th anniversary of the death of Dale Earnhardt, who was killed on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, sending the NASCAR world into shock.

So when Earnhardt ran Hamlin up the track midway through the Pure Michigan 400, it irritated Hamlin enough that after the race he went and talked to Earnhardt about what he felt was a disrespectful move Sunday afternoon. MORE: Gordon wins | Results | Burton defends Stewart | Danica wrecks | Kyle crash Earnhardt wasn’t hard to find. With the seventh-place Hamlin stopped on pit road as one of the drivers who clinched a spot in the Chase, he was able to walk over to fifth-place Earnhardt and let him know how he felt....

In a strange twist, both the driver and crew chief insist that they don’t feel a lot of pressure despite a flat tire that led to a wreck and a 39th-place finish Sunday in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. At 11th in the standings and 25 points behind the current Chase cutoff of eighth, Earnhardt faces an uphill battle to advance to the third round of the Chase....

Just to clarify, he wasn’t referring to his tangle with Carl Edwards in that race. He made that clear this week in a podcast.

Junior was running well at Charlotte, the first race in the Contender Round of the Chase, when he and Edwards’ cars came into contact.

The Dallas Cowboys remained the league’s most valuable team with a current value of $4.2 billion and an operating income of $300 million. The New England Patriots came in second at $3.4 billion. Fresh off the opening of The Star — Dallas’ new and improved headquarters in Frisco, Texas — and still showing off the impressive AT&T Stadium whenever the opportunity strikes, the Cowboys have a web of incredible facilities lined within their confines....

The Yankees and Braves are now the favorites to sign 2015 American League Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel, according to MLB.com. What makes the situation even more entertaining is the two teams are reportedly close on money, which means they could go back and forth in the fight over Keuchel in the coming days. According to a report from MLB Network Radio, Keuchel is looking for a deal in the one-year, $18 million range which would be a tick more than the $17....

The NBA halted proceedings on March 11 shortly after Utah Jazz centre Rudy Gobert became the first player to test positive for COVID-19. While it remains to be seen how long the suspension will last, basketball isn’t expected by mid-May at the earliest. Whenever the NBA returns it will probably do so behind closed doors for a while and Cuban suggested that once fans are allowed back into the arenas they should undergo testing for coronavirus symptoms....

Just hours later, Dame delivered. In the track, Dame D.O.L.L.A throws a couple subtle digs at the Kings forward. “You ain’t established in the league for one. You got potential, but this rapping is a breeze at lunch, easy,” Lillard raps. “You a clown, so go and enjoy the circus.” It didn’t take long for social media to find the track, and listeners were shook. We knew Dame went hard — but not this hard....

On Saturday, the six-time All-Star took to Instagram to share an image of him standing next to Kevin Durant. Harmless, right? Not exactly. The image wasn’t of Lillard standing next to Durant wearing a Nets uniform. It was of him standing next to Durant wearing a photoshopped Trail Blazers uniform. To no surprise, it didn’t take long for Lillard’s post to make the rounds on social media. MORE: Breaking down why Durant left Warriors for Nets...

Now, that same injury will cause him to miss Game 5 with what the Trail Blazers diagnosed as a right knee sprain. NBA PLAYOFFS: TV schedule, scores, results for Round 1 The injury seemed to occur late in the third quarter as Lillard attempted to drive to the basket. As he planted his right leg, his knee buckled slightly and seemed to cause him trouble after. Portland coach Terry Stotts had little to offer in terms of updates on Lillard’s status after the game, saying only that he “injured his right knee and that he’s getting an MRI....

OK, so maybe he didn’t come up with the concept for these, but based on his past with Comic Sans font, it’s not that far of a stretch. These jerseys are hideous. One can only hope Gilbert is making some elaborate prank. Either way, he gave fans a sneak peek of three new alternate options and they’re all equally atrocious.
