Jalen Brunson contributes 19 points with four threes, while Josh Hart adds 8 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and a key defensive play. Karl‑Anthony Towns grabs 16 boards and 11 points, and Jordan Clarkson scores 7 in just 11 minutes. The game highlights the Knicks’ resilience and bench depth after a shaky start.

NFL insiders quickly dismiss reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers will trade for New York Jets wideout Garrett Wilson. While Jason La Canfora floated Wilson as a game‑changing addition to a 6‑2 Steelers offense, ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the deal “won’t happen,” citing a strained past between Wilson and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers, battling WR depth issues and injuries to DK Metcalf, are also linked to Jaguars’ Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts’ Josh Downs, but Wilson’s reunion with Rodgers looks unlikely.
The New York Jets are getting the solid quarterback play they have long waited for. Geno Smith is on pace to break multiple franchise single-season records.

ESPN insider Adam Schefter says the Pittsburgh Steelers will not trade for Jets receiver Garrett Wilson before the Nov. 10 deadline. Schefter told his podcast that “no way they trade him,” dismissing rumors sparked by Jason La Canfora that linked Wilson to Aaron Rodgers. Wilson, a 2025 four‑year, $130 million extension player, has no trade request, and his relationship with Rodgers soured. While the Steelers sit 6‑2 and eye other receivers, Wilson remains firmly with New York, ending speculation for Steelers fans.
A new report fuels speculation that the New York Giants are the most aggressive suitors in a bid to trade for Colts running back Jonathan Taylor after an injury to Cam Skattebo. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport told ESPN that a move makes sense for the Giants, who are now shifting focus from defensive backs to shoring up a struggling 3.9‑yard rushing attack. Taylor’s power and vision could boost the backfield and aid rookie Malik Nabers, while at least four other teams—Vikings, Bengals, Broncos and Packers—also monitor the deal ahead of the trade deadline.

McCarthy (Giants) earns a Superflex stream after a solid 20‑28‑252 debut and a favorable matchup at Philadelphia, while Gardner Minshew (Cardinals) becomes a starter but faces a tough Seattle test. Running backs: Mike Washington Jr. (Raiders) offers 25‑carry volume against the 49ers; Tyler Allgeier (Cardinals) provides big‑play upside if injuries persist; Kenneth Gainwell (Buccaneers) posts back‑to‑back 140‑yard games but meets a strong Bears run defense. Wide receivers: Makai Lemon (Eagles) delivers consistent PPR floor despite potential target drop with DeVonta Smith’s return, and rookie Jordyn Tyson (Saints) is a stash pending practice clearance. The piece flags each player’s role, matchup and fantasy value for Week 9.
The Giants face a backfield shake‑up for Week 8 as rookie RB Cam Skattebo #44 is ruled out, leaving veteran Devin Singletany to assume RB1 duties behind Gregory Desrosiers Jr. and fullback Patrick Ricard. Injured Tyrone Tracy Jr. adds to the crunch, while practice‑squad rushers Phil Mafah, Eric Gray and Grant Finley provide depth. Rumors of a blockbuster trade for Colts star Jonathan Taylor swirl, but reports suggest the team may hold off. The 4‑2‑1 Giants aim to stay atop the NFC East and secure a playoff spot before a tough Week 9 clash with the Eagles.

Japanese Triple Crown champion Teruaki Sato, 27, emerges as the Yankees' prime free‑agent target for third base in the 2026‑27 offseason. ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel projects a five‑year, $115 million deal plus a $19 million posting fee, totaling over $130 million. A new report confirms the New York Mets have dropped their pursuit, clearing the path for New York’s intensified Japan scouting efforts. With a lockout looming on Dec. 1, the Yankees aim to lock Sato in before the new CBA takes effect.
The Las Vegas Raiders snapped a four‑game skid with a 38‑33 comeback win over the New York Jets in Week 9, boosting them to #17 in the latest NFL Power Rankings. Rookie Mike Washington Jr. emerged as the lead back, rushing 25 times for 83 yards, while Ashton Jeanty shifted to a third‑down, pass‑catching role after a controversial comment about the Jets. Jeanty still leads all running backs with 37 receptions for 376 yards and three TDs, but his carries dropped to two for nine yards. Analysts note Washington’s higher rush‑over‑expected metric (+0.4) and Jeanty’s elite EPA per target as key factors shaping the Raiders’ offense going forward.
After the Knicks' 103-90 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 2, coach Mike Brown faces a rotation dilemma for Mikal Bridges, who logged just 16 minutes and went 1-for-7 for six points. Despite Bridges' 6.1 points per game and 30.8% shooting over seven contests, Brown plans to keep him in the starting mix while simplifying his early possessions and using his speed in transition. Bench contributors Landry Shamet (22 points) and Jordan Clarkson have shown they can fill the wing role, but Brown emphasizes a game‑by‑game approach rather than a permanent demotion as Bridges works to regain his form.

A new ESPN report suggests the Yankees could sign free‑agent Tarik Skubal and then trade from their deep rotation, opening the door for the Mets to acquire three‑time All‑Star Carlos Rodón. Rodón, coming off a 7‑3 record with a 2.67 ERA despite injury‑limited starts, has two years and $55 million left on his deal. The Mets might offer Francisco Álvarez, Ronny Mauricio, Brett Baty or top‑50 prospects for the pitcher. With a looming lockout and a $325‑400 million Skubal contract on the table, the trade could reshape both New York clubs.
John Harbaugh’s debut season with the New York Giants sits at 4‑2‑1, but the next five days could reshape the NFC East race. The Giants travel to Philadelphia on Nov. 8 to face an Eagles squad that has dropped six straight and is missing quarterback Jalen Hurts, then host Washington on Nov. 12. Despite leading the division (Eagles 2‑6, Washington 2‑4‑1), New York has lost 13 straight games in Philly, and the tight schedule forces Harbaugh to balance preparation for both opponents while managing health and depth concerns. How the Giants handle this short‑turnaround will determine whether they protect their early‑season edge.
