Why was veteran Fox News host Neil Cavuto ousted after almost 30 years? Theories swirlJet crash disaster in South Korea marks another setback for BoeingThe week is highlighted by the three-game Thanksgiving slate, but there is still plenty of action to take advantage of Sunday's main slate. We have 10 matchups to analyze and there are plenty of ways to put together a strong DFS lineup for these games. In DFS, it all comes down to finding edges over your opponents or the field. There are plenty of ways to attack this slate and find edges over other players, but we are given a finite salary, so we have to get a bit creative. But without further ado, here are the Sporting News' optimal lineups and best picks for Week 8 DFS slates on both DraftKings and FanDuel . DraftKings DFS Picks Week 13: NFL DFS picks for GPP tournaments Sunday Main Slate, $50,000 salary QB: Russell Wilson, Steelers at Bengals ($5,700) Russell Wilson has had his moments as the Steelers' starter this season, leading them to four wins in five starts and eclipsing 19 DK points twice in the process. Wilson requires multiple touchdowns to reach his weekly ceiling, but we can see him do just that this week. The Bengals have struggled to contain opposing passing attacks this season, ranking 24th in EPA per dropback and have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in six games this season. Cincinnati will also be down multiple cornerbacks and will be starting Cam Taylor-Britt, who has allowed the third-most receiving yards this season according to PFF, and Josh Newton, a fifth-round rookie. If the Cincinnati offense pushes the Steelers into a pass-heavy approach, Wilson could crack 300 yards for the first time in a Steelers uniform. WEEK 13 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/ST | Kickers RB: Bucky Irving, Buccaneers at Panthers ($5,800) Could we be seeing a changing of the guard in the Tampa Bay backfield? In Week 12, Bucky Irving played more snaps and ran more routes than Rachaad White, his first time accomplishing either of these feats. Irving also dominated in that game, racking up 151 yards from scrimmage, a career-high. Irving will be quite chalky against the Carolina Panthers, the premier matchup for running backs in fantasy, but this is too good of a spot to pass up. RB: Kimani Vidal, Chargers at Falcons ($4,000) J.K. Dobbins has already been ruled out this week, leaving the Chargers with Gus Edwards, Hassan Haskins, and Kimani Vidal in the backfield. Edwards will likely get the first crack at the RB1 duties, but he is anything but secure in this role. His nine carry, 11-yard performance on Monday Night Football all but confirmed that he is a replaceable back. If Edwards struggles early, don't be shocked if Vidal gets an opportunity to take the reigns in this backfield. It also helps that Vidal is the only back with pass-catching chops out of this trio. Gus Edwards has 39 targets in six NFL seasons, and Haskins does not have a target since 2022. So at a minimum, we know he's the favorite to play on passing downs with the potential for his role to expand over the course of the game. Considering the wide receivers in this lineup, we had to swing for the fences somewhere, and Vidal is a solid option to fill that need. WR: A.J. Brown, Eagles at Ravens ($8,300) Since his return from a hamstring injury, A.J. Brown's underlying metrics have shown an elite receiver. His 30-percent target share and 50-percent air yards share are all you can ask for in a receiver. Unfortunately, his production has lagged behind, largely due to the Eagles' run-heavy mentality. Well, with the Ravens on the schedule this week, the Eagles could finally be forced to sling the rock. This game has the highest total on the slate, and we're going to go with Brown in this matchup. WR: Nico Collins, Texans at Jaguars ($7,900) It's safe to say Nico Collins is all the way back. Last week, his route participation shot up to 83 percent, and he was the focal point of the passing attack, accounting for 27 percent of the targets and 41 percent of the air yards. Collins cleared 20 DK points last week, a number we've consistently seen him hit this season. This week could be Collins' official "I'm back" game for the masses of NFL fans. The Texans get the Jaguars this week, a defense that Collins already torched for 150 yards and 36.1 DK points earlier this year. This is a premium matchup for wide receivers in general, but it's especially juicy for Collins as the Jaguars utilize man coverage at the 2nd-highest rate in the league. Collins averages a ridiculous 0.32 targets per route run and 3.94 yards per route run against man coverage this season. Collins' calling card throughout the season has been explosive plays, and he could have a few of them in this one. WEEK 13 FANTASY ROSTER MANAGEMENT ADVICE Stock Watch | Start 'Em, Sit 'Em | Sleepers | Busts | Usage Report | Flex Finder | Weather WR: George Pickens, Steelers at Bengals ($6,800) With Russell Wilson on the roster, it shouldn't be a surprise that we'll be pairing him with his go-to receiver, George Pickens. Pickens has flourished with Wilson under center, scoring at least 16.9 DK points in three of five games and clearing 20 points twice. Pickens' usage has been elite, drawing targets on 26 percent of his routes for an average of 8.0 targets per game with Wilson. The Bengals will be thin at corner, and Pickens should be able to exploit a favorable matchup for yet another big day alongside Wilson. TE: Dalton Schultz, Texans at Jaguars ($3,300) Running back wasn't the only position where we had to utilize a salary-saver. We'll be using Dalton Schultz as a budget-friendly option at tight end. Quite simply, Schultz is a touchdown-or-bust option, but this is a good week to bet on him hauling one in. Jacksonville has the No. 30 scoring defense in the NFL and have allowed 30 or more points five times this season. Houston should have several red zone drives in this one, and we're betting on Schultz to cap one off. FLEX: Michael Pittman Jr., Colts at Patriots ($5,200) Michael Pittman just had his best game in several weeks, leading the Colts in targets for the first time since Week 7 and scoring 15 DK points for the first time since Week 4. Pittman is likely to continue to operate as a high-volume receiver who can be of value on a PPR site like DraftKings. Josh Downs suffered a shoulder injury last week and is considered week-to-week, opening the door for Pittman to be the lone target earner in this offense. At a price of $5,200, he's a solid bet due to his projected volume this week against the Patriots. D/ST: Indianapolis Colts, at Patriots ($2,800) The Colts' defense has not been great this season, but the Patriots' offense hasn't looked much better. The offensive line is arguably the worst in the league, and there is no true WR1 in New England. The Patriots require some heroics from Drake Maye every week, and if that doesn't happen, the offense tends to struggle. FanDuel DFS Picks Week 13: NFL DFS picks for GPP tournaments Sunday Main Slate, $60,000 salary cap QB: Russell Wilson, Steelers at Bengals ($7,500) Russell Wilson will be a staple in both of our lineups this week and comes in at $7,500 on FanDuel. The Steelers have an implied team total of 22 points, and they could easily pass this mark if Joe Burrow and company keep their foot on the gas and force Wilson to make a few big plays. If Wilson can find the endzone two or three times, he'll pay off at this salary. RB: Chase Brown, Bengals vs. Steelers ($7,300) Chase Brown will be functioning as our bring-back for the Russell Wilson stack. Over the Bengals' last three games, Brown has been utterly dominant. He's played 85 percent of snaps and handled every single running back touch. There's a good chance Khalil Herbert takes a few touches now that he has become acclimated to the offense, but expect to see Brown in a bell cow role. Brown has looked good as a rusher, ranking top-15 in explosive rush rate, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yard after contact per attempt. He's now locked down the receiving work (23 targets in the last three weeks) and goal line role that has allowed his value to skyrocket. He's a strong play with an RB16 price tag on FanDuel. RB: Bucky Irving, Buccaneers at Panthers ($7,200) Bucky Irving is another player who is carrying over from our DraftKings lineup. As mentioned in the previous write-up, we may have seen Irving take over the Tampa Bay backfield last week. Even if Rachaad White returns to having a slight edge over Irving, this is still a game where Irving can thrive in a "1B" role. The Panthers allow the most points to running backs this season and Irving could easily run all over them with just 12 carries. WR: Puka Nacua, Rams at Saints ($8,700) Since returning from injury, it's become quite clear that Puka Nacua is the preferred fantasy option in the Rams' offense. From Week 8 on, Nacua has the edge over Cooper Kupp in target rate, fantasy points per route run, yards per route run, and first-read target share. Nacua now gets the Saints' defense which has been a bottom-5 unit against the pass this season. Before their bye last week, Jameis Winston torched them for 377 yards through the air. The Saints have had no answers for quality WR play this season, allowing 90-plus yards to six different receivers in 11 games. As long as the Saints can keep this one close, Nacua could be streaking up and down the field all afternoon. WR: George Pickens, Steelers at Bengals ($7,400) George Pickens is the second wide receiver in this lineup and he is Russell Wilson's stacking partner. Matchups with Cam Taylor-Britt and Josh Newton should have you foaming at the mouth. Pickens is a big play waiting to happen and we should see a few of them against a depleted Cincinnati secondary. WR: Calvin Ridley, Titans at Commanders ($6,800) Speaking of a big play waiting to happen, Calvin Ridley has regularly struck for explosive plays this season. Ridley is as volatile of a fantasy player as it comes. He has an aDOT of 16.3 yards and is catching passes from Will Levis, both of which drive his boom-bust nature. He sees a steady dose of deep targets (targets with 20-plus air yards), 2.0 per game to be exact, and whether he converts on these looks largely dictates his fantasy output for the week. Ridley does not have a single game this season with 10-plus FD points in which he failed to haul in a deep target. Ridley's fantasy production hinges on these big plays, but these plays have led to 20-plus FD points three times this season. We'll be chasing that ceiling this week. TE: Dawson Knox, Bills vs. 49ers ($5,000) Dalton Kincaid did not practice to open the week; considering this is coming out a bye week, this is a bad sign for his Week 13 availability. This opens the door for Dawson Knox to be a budget-friendly option at tight end yet again. Knox posted a 4/40/0 stat line on six targets last week in relief of Kincaid. He offers a reasonable floor, but we'll need a touchdown for Knox to reach his ceiling. At the end of the day, the floor-ceiling combo is fair at just $5,000. FLEX: Brian Thomas Jr., Jaguars vs. Texans ($6,700) Brian Thomas Jr.'s fantasy value has been on a sharp decline in the last month. His fall has largely been driven by the absence of quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Luckily for Thomas, Lawrence returned to practice this week and could be back on the field against the Texans. Thomas not only benefits from the return of Lawrence but will also reap the rewards of the lack of receiving talent in Jacksonville. With Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis done for the year, Thomas will be running routes alongside Parker Washington and Tim Jones for the foreseeable future. At this point, it seems that a weekly 25-percent target share is the expectation for Thomas. His projected volume and playmaking ability make him an appealing option at this price. D/ST: Tennessee Titans, at Commanders ($3,300) Prior to the nonsense of the final six minutes of the game, the Washington offense looked rather inept against the Cowboys. Through more than 3.5 quarters, Jayden Daniels was held to 92 passing yards, and the Commanders struggled to get anything going. The Washington offense is on fraud watch and we'll be playing into that this week.

The Assembly, an umbrella body of youth from the 19 Northern states, accused Senator Jibrin of systematically working to ensure the bills scale through their second reading. In a letter signed by Ali Mohammed Idris and Abdullahi Garba, President and Secretary of the Assembly, respectively, they described the reform bills as “evil” and argued that they would gravely undermine the economic and commercial prosperity of the North. In their letter to the distinguished senator, dated 29th November, they contended that the tax bills put forth by the Tinubu administration represented the highest display of insensitivity to the economic and commercial struggles of the people of Kano North, Kano State, and the entire Northern Nigeria. The Assembly lamented that the North is currently besieged by critical issues such as electricity shortages, insecurity, poverty, poor infrastructure, and unemployment. They expressed regret that the Deputy Senate President has chosen to embark on a venture that would aggravate these challenges. They insisted that the Deputy Senate President was serving the interests of his political godfathers at the expense of his constituency and the region. The Assembly further alleged that Senator Jibrin was determined to push the bills forward due to a political promise made to him by his godfathers. However, they pledged to resist this effort and vowed to thwart his political interests come 2027. “Northern Nigeria requires only leaders who can speak in the interest of the region,” they declared, while assuring that they would do everything within their power to defeat the bills.

Electrical Appliances Market Forecast: USD 2.34 Trillion by 2034, Driven by 7.1% Annual Growth | TMR
By Aaditya GovindRao and Roushni Nair (Reuters) – Goodman Group’s stock has been on a hot streak this year, shining bright among its Australian real-estate peers as the artificial intelligence boom has driven a frenzied demand for data centres. Global “hyperscalers”, or large-scale cloud service providers, such as Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, have been spending billions on data centres to cater to growing demand for AI services. Australia’s data-centre market, though nascent, saw outsized investment this year with Blackstone buying AirTrunk for A$24 billion ($14.91 billion) in September and developer NEXTDC raising nearly A$4.6 billion in equity and debt. Goodman, the country’s biggest property developer, counts the world’s largest hyperscalers as its customers, its website says, but the company did not confirm the identities of its customers in response to Reuters. Its inventory, however, reflects the heightened demand for these specialized facilities, with data centres under construction making up 42% of its A$12.8 billion ($7.96 billion) portfolio of projects under development at the end of September, up from 37% at the end of last year. This has sent its stock flying 45.8% higher this year, positioning Goodman for its best performance since 2006. It is also the Australian real estate index’s top performer. Higher exposure to data centres in development makes the market more comfortable paying a higher multiple for the business, said John Lockton, head of investment strategy at Sandstone Insights. “Investments into data centres continue to see momentum ... We expect this environment to continue to support Goodman – CAPEX outlook for hyperscalers implies ongoing growth for FY25.” The consensus is split on whether Goodman’s stock rise can continue. Some factions of the market highlighted that investor interest in data-centre-focused stocks has begun to cool as valuations get rich. They drew caution from landlord DigiCo Infrastructure REIT’s initial public offering this month, where it raised A$2 billion, but the stock fell 9% on debut. “We think Goodman’s securities are expensive at current prices ... we are more cautious about assuming maintainable excess returns from DC investment in the longer term,” said Winky Yingqi Tan, a Morningstar analyst focused on REITs. Tan also flagged risks of data-centre obsolescence leading to capital-intensive upgrades, and rivals adding more supply, as factors that could erode Goodman’s returns over time. Lockton, however, remains upbeat on Goodman’s prospects. He lauds its existing pipeline, and access to land with power supply that can be converted to data centres, which rivals have flagged as difficult to obtain.

A family moving from Ontario to Alberta in November had a scare when their family dog got loose during a stop in Dafoe, Sask. and ran away. Jax, a 15-year-old senior dog was limping along Highway #16 when Cassey Reiniger and her sister came across it. "He [Jax] looked cold he was kind of stumbling was not walking right so we were like 'Well he’s obviously hurt, needs help, [and] we might as well help him,'" she explained. Reiniger’s mom suggested she take him to a nearby shelter – the Mozart Sympawthy Animal Sanctuary. After a few days of asking around, and with little help, they figured the owners were maybe a little further away. The sanctuary shared several posts over social media about the lost canine with no luck. That is until a conversation between locals gave them a tip. "One of the local residents overheard a family had lost their dog and were looking for it but did not have any of their information," Veronica Hermiston explained. "There is someone who is missing their dog who lives further away so we just started posting everywhere and all over and luckily the family saw it." Days passed and a few social media posts of Jax later, the family reached out to claim the precious pooch. "So relieved, you just feel for the animal and now in the family, it was beautiful because it was a senior dog, and its stressful for them," Hermiston said. For Reiniger, it’s a happy ending for everyone. "If we had left him, he could have been stranded for days so we were like ‘Well that’s pretty good he got back to his family’ and it was kind of crazy how far they were moving and right in the center [of the country] too," Reiniger said. CTV News was unable to reach Jax's owners for comment. However, Mozart Sympawthy Animal Sanctuary posted videos of Jax reuniting with his family – as well as Jax’s owners thanking all those involved.MrBeast plans to 'show how blown out of proportion' game show allegations with BTS footage
