The Jets and Giants are neighbors and are chasing the same prize, but they are not rivals -- at least not in Todd Bowles' eyes.
Considering how well he's been playing lately (scoring over 41 fantasy points per game in his last three games), Lopez is a bargain player that is expected to fare well against a Phoenix team likely playing without Tyson Chandler. DFS building blocks
Coming off of a huge victory over the Giants, the Redskins have the best chance to win the NFC East, according to ESPN's FPI. Do the Giants, Eagles and Cowboys still have a chance?
The Jets and Bills Week 17 matchup could decide the AFC's second wild-card spot. A lot can change between now and the final week of the season, however. Which other games should you circle on your calendar? Games that will decide the season
The Indians had a little fun on Twitter after signing Joba Chamberlain, apologizing for the insects that attacked him during Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS.
As part of his contract restructuring this past offseason, the Giants guaranteed $500,000 of Geoff Schwartz's $3.925 million 2016 salary. He has two years left on the four-year, $16.8 million deal he signed prior to the 2014 season. He has played just 13 games in the first two seasons of the deal and was placed on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday. Seems likely they move on, but that guarantee could at least make them think about it.
Sources tell ESPN that the Nets have been gauging trade interest in Bojan Bogdanovic.
The Patriots have over a 99.9 percent chance of locking up their division for the 12th time in 13 years. So why will their game with the Jets be a must-watch? Games that will decide the season
The Jets-Giants game Sunday will feature two Bill Parcells disciples, Todd Bowles and Tom Coughlin. They learned a lot from Parcells, who learned a lot from his mentor, Mickey Corcoran, his old HS basketball coach. Sadly, Corcoran died Sunday at the age of 93. In his Hall-of-Fame speech in '13, Parcells called Corcoran "a second father to me." Corcoran played HS basketball in NJ for Vince Lombardi, creating a Lombardi-Parcells link. The branches on that coaching tree will reach to Sunday's game.
Carmelo Anthony is still under the weather but expects to play tomorrow vs. Philadelphia. He missed Sunday's game due to illness.

Bills coach Rex Ryan addressed his defensive-line need by raiding his old team's practice squad, signing Jets NT T.J. Barnes. He appeared in six games for the Jets, playing in 32 defensive snaps. They cut him Nov. 13 and stashed him on the practice squad.
Pitcher Jenrry Mejia still has 100 games to serve of a suspension for PED use, but that comes at a reduced price that makes him worth taking a chance.
