There are weather risks for three games tonight. First, the Padres and Cubs are at Wrigley Field, and there will be rain all day and night in Chicago. Wrigley Field is one of the worst in baseball at water drainage and the Cubs have shown a quick trigger in cancelling games the past couple years.

As always this time of year, cold temperatures are also a factor, as games could be postponed or significantly affected by chilly conditions. Windy games won’t see delays, but it’s important to know how gusty conditions are expected to be when setting your fantasy lineups. Fortunately, our friends at Fantasy Alarm have all the information you need (and more) compiled in one place every day in their MLB Weather Center....

While half of daily fantasy is rostering the right guys, the other half is approaching your contests in a calculated manner to minimize risk and maximize return. I’ve found myself approaching the madness in two ways: Scaling back an aggressive midseason cash strategy, or committing to mass multi-entering low-stake tournaments with top-heavy payouts. That’s it, nothing fancy. It’s just being aware of the nature of the competitive landscape and the increased uncertainty we face right now....

With most fantasy football season-long playoffs beginning, the owners eliminated need to get their fantasy fix, so expect them to be joining the DFS contests.

Instead of paying Prescott as a franchise-tagged player for the second consecutive year, the Cowboys have locked him up through the 2024 season. After Prescott earned $31.4 million in guaranteed money playing on the tag in 2020 — and coming off an ankle injury that limited him to five games — he wanted a combination of short-term security and long-term flexibility. He ended up getting both in what also worked out to be a team-friendly deal....

The Cowboys announced on Monday they had signed Prescott to a four-year extension, bringing protracted negotiations that began over 12 months finally to an end. While the franchise is yet to formally announce the terms of the contract, ESPN and NFL Network both reported Prescott’s deal is worth $160 million over four years, making it the second-biggest in the NFL behind the 10-year deal worth up to $500 million Patrick Mahomes signed with the Kansas City Chiefs last year....

Coming out of the two-minute warning, Detroit held a 31-23 lead over Minnesota. Facing a third and 7 at the Vikings’ 41, Jared Goff dropped back and tossed it right to 6-foot-5, 335-pound offensive tackle Penei Sewell, who made the grab and dived forward to pick up a crucial first down. It went a long way toward securing the stunning upset win, as Detroit bled most of the clock and eventually kicked a field goal with 17 seconds left to ice the game....

But NFL quarterback-turned-ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky took it a step further on Friday’s episode of “Get Up!”, portraying Lawrence as a veritable Frankenstein’s monster when he claimed he had comparable assets to three former No. 1 overall draft selections. “Trevor Lawrence is Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford kind of balled up into one," Orlovsky said. “I think that his brain is Peyton Manning-like. … And then with the talent level of Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford....

In fact, the 32-page document is former CBS anchor Dan Rather’s stunning, $70 million lawsuit filed yesterday against the network, its corporate owners and his bosses stemming from “Memogate,” the flawed three-year-old report on the nearly four-decade-old military record of President George W. Bush—an account that blackened the eye of CBS News and apparently hastened the end of Rather’s 44-year career at the network. In dropping the legal bombshell, Rather, 75, alleges that CBS and his former bosses “coerced” him into apologizing for a controversial story in which his role was little more than that of a narrator....
