PITTSBURGH (AP) — Cam Heyward has been on good teams before. Ones that have captured divisions. Ones that have won playoff games, though admittedly not in a while. The longtime Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle, now well into his dotage in his 14th season, can't quite remember having a group like the one that he plays on now.

WASHINGTON: Several members of Donald Trump's incoming United States administration have received threats including bomb alerts, the FBI said on Wednesday (Nov 27), with one nominee reporting a pipe bomb scare sent with a pro-Palestinian message. The President-elect's picks for United Nations ambassador and head of the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as his former choice to be US attorney general, said they were among those who had received the threats. "The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners," the agency said in a statement. Swatting refers to the practice in which police are summoned urgently to someone's house under false pretences. Such hoax calls are common in the US and have seen numerous senior political figures targeted in recent years. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, earlier said that several appointees and nominees "were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them". Outgoing President Joe Biden "has been briefed" on the threats, the White House said. "The White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and the President-elect's team, and continues to monitor the situation closely," a spokesperson said in a statement. "The president and the administration unequivocally condemn threats of political violence." Biden has vowed a smooth and peaceful presidential transition - in contrast to when Trump riled a mob that attacked the US Capitol in January 2021 with false claims of election fraud. "PRO-PALESTINIAN" Elise Stefanik, a Trump loyalist congresswoman tapped to be UN ambassador, said her residence in New York was targeted in a bomb threat. She said in a statement that she, her husband, and her small son were driving home from Washington for the Thanksgiving holiday when they learned of the threat. Lee Zeldin, Trump's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, said his home was targeted with a pipe bomb threat sent with a "pro-Palestinian themed message". The former congressman from New York said he and his family were not home at the time. Matt Gaetz, who dropped out as Trump's pick to be attorney general after facing opposition over sexual misconduct allegations, reposted Zeldin's message on X and said: "Same". Scott Turner, the nomine for Housing Secretary and a retired NFL player, and Trump's pick for Labor Secretary, meanwhile also said they had also received bomb threats at their homes. Fox News Digital quoted unidentified sources saying that John Ratcliffe, Trump's nominee to head the CIA, and Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary pick, were also targeted. Ahead of his return to the House in January, Trump has already swiftly assembled a cabinet of loyalists , including several criticised for a severe lack of experience. The Republican, who appears set to avoid trial on criminal prosecutions related to attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, was wounded in the ear in July in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally. The shooter was killed in a counter-fire. In September, authorities arrested another man accused of planning to shoot at Trump while he played golf at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Leavitt appeared to reference the previous incidents, saying that "with President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us".EU universal charger rules come into force

Consumer revenue fell 18% to US$2B as the Company struggled to deliver new cutting-edge notebooks. Dell stock was down more than 11% in after-hours trading following the report having fallen 24.9% during the past six months. Revenue was hurt by a performance in the company’s client solutions group, which includes PCs and laptops, saw revenue fall 1% to $12.1B year-on-year in Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, Dell forecast revenue between $24 billion and $25 billion, missing the average analyst projection of $25.57 billion, according to LSEG data. Commenting on the report, Deutsche Bank analysts believe Dell’s weaker Q4 guide comes mainly due to delays in AI server sales and PC refresh activity. Nick Ross a leading reviewer of PC’s the owner of ‘High Performance Laptops web site, recently called for a boycott of Dell and Alienware claiming that the Companies actions “Almost killed him.” His comments kicked off a debate about how PR Companies are paid to milk exposure from tech writers and tech media sites in an effort to get a favourable review or story without any contribution “or very little” contribution to the originators of the content. And when they don’t like a story, or a negative review believe that ‘black banning” a media organisation’ actually works when in reality the pen is mightier than the sword as Dell is finding out after Ross called for a boycott of the big PC brand. The slump in Dell stock and the fall in consumer PC revenue follows the exit of Dells Alienware range from JB Hi Fi. Both Dell Technologies and HP are forecasting lower-than-expected earnings for the current quarter, due in part to lack of demand for AI notebooks which are being sold at a premium price. The shares of both companies have fallen on average 12%, while pacing what would be HP’s worst day in more than three years. Yesterday HP’s shares dipped to just over $34, putting the stock on track for its worst loss since March 2020, when shares fell by more than 14% in a single day. Dell—whose fourth quarter began Nov. 2—expects revenue to fall between $24 billion and $25 billion with adjusted earnings of $2.50 per share, below the $25.5 billion in revenue and $2.65 per share in earnings projected by analysts, according to FactSet. Meanwhile, HP projected earnings per share to fall between 70 cents and 76 cents for a first quarter that started Nov. 1, compared to the 85 cents per share projected by analysts. The AI market is a “robust opportunity” for Dell with “no signs of slowing down,” Jeff Clarke, Dell’s COO, said in the company’s report, though he noted on Wednesday that Dell’s AI business “will not be linear” as customers navigate a “changing” market. HP personal systems, which includes personal computers which makes up the bulk of overall growth, saw net revenue rise 9% to US$11.5B year over year. Printing net revenue rose 1% to $4.5B, while personal systems revenue rose 2% to $9.6B in Q4 year on year. Bernstein analysts said HP’s guidance pointed “to an unusually back-half loaded year, which appears predicated on continued strong IPG margins and strong PC growth/upgrade cycle.” “We don’t have high conviction in either and end up slightly below the midpoint of HPQ’s guidance range,” analysts led by Toni Sacconaghi commented. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) analysts voiced similar comments, noting that an in-line full-year guide and a sub-seasonal Q1 outlook “means 2025 will be more back-half loaded than ever before.”
Minister Sam Kawale fails to respond to fertilizer deal questionnaire after over a monthTORONTO — Canada's main stock index moved lower Monday, weighed down by weakness in energy stocks, while U.S. stock markets were mixed on the first trading day of December. Tech stocks rallied south of the border as the bullish sentiment that marked November continues into the final month of the year, said Ryan Crowther, portfolio manager at Franklin Templeton Canada. “I think it’s just continued optimism in the market,” he said. “It feels like the sentiment of the market right now is, if there’s nothing to worry about, then it’s a green light for stocks to keep moving higher.” Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq posted new records, with the latter gaining almost one per cent. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 128.65 points at 44,782.00. The S&P 500 index was up 14.77 points at 6,047.15, while the Nasdaq composite was up 185.78 points at 19,403.95. Meanwhile, Canadian markets took on a different tone Monday as tech darling Shopify saw its stock drop almost two per cent. The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 57.67 points at 25,590.33. Shopify’s Black Friday numbers seemed pretty good, said Crowther, but perhaps some investors thought they weren’t strong enough. The company’s real-time map of sales showed a new record for Black Friday, with global sales reaching US$5 billion. However, Crowther noted Shopify shares have been riding high recently, so “there’s room for it to take a breather.” This week, Canada’s biggest banks are set to cap off earnings season. “As far as the credit situation for Canadian banks, we should be nearing the peak for loss provisions at this point and so far, things haven't been as bad as some would have feared,” said Crowther. “The investor outlook for 2025, if market strength continues, could include an improved capital markets backdrop, a potential return of IPOs into the picture, so that would be something that people will be thinking about this week as we digest the Canadian bank earnings.” Both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada are set to announce one more interest rate decision this month. Markets in the U.S. are currently leaning toward expecting a quarter-percentage-point rate cut from the Fed, according to CME Group. Meanwhile, “I think the conditions in Canada are still amenable for further rate cuts,” said Crowther, with an outsized half-percentage-point cut still in the cards for this month. The Canadian dollar traded for 71.14 cents US compared with 71.38 cents US on Friday. The January crude oil contract was up 10 cents at US$68.10 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was down 15 cents at US$3.21 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was down US$22.50 at US$2,658.50 an ounce and the March copper contract was down a penny at US$4.13 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 2, 2024.

The OpenAI Sora protest is just a taste of what’s coming in 2025 – here’s what needs to change
Syrians poured into streets in celebration on Sunday after a stunning rebel advance reached the capital, ending the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule . Russian state news agencies were reporting that President Bashar Assad and his family had arrived in Moscow and were given asylum. Russia said Assad left the country after negotiations with rebel groups and that he had given instructions to transfer power peacefully. Joyful crowds gathered in central squares in Damascus, waving the Syrian revolutionary flag. Others ransacked the presidential palace and residence. Abu Mohammed al-Golani , a former al-Qaida commander who cut ties with the group years ago leads the biggest rebel faction in Syria and is poised to chart the country’s future. He made his first public appearance since fighters entered the Damascus suburbs Saturday, at the capital’s sprawling Umayyad Mosque, and called himself by his given name, Ahmad al-Sharaa. He said Assad’s fall was “a victory to the Islamic nation.” The rapidly developing events have shaken the region. Lebanon said it was closing all its land border crossings with Syria except for one that links Beirut with Damascus. Jordan closed a border crossing with Syria, too. Israel has issued warnings to villages in southern Syria and its forces seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights. Here's the Latest: The Israeli military said on Sunday it was reinforcing a barrier along its border with Syria as part of its “enhanced preparedness” in the area following the fall of the Assad regime. Israel released images of the construction, which showed bulldozers digging what appeared to be a trench. The army said in a statement that the barrier was named “New East.” Satellite images analyzed by The Associated Press show that as early as September, Israel began building what could be a new road right along the so-called Alpha Line that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syria . The United Nations confirmed that Israeli troops entered the demilitarized zone during the work. Over the weekend, the Israeli military sent additional troops to the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights to bolster Israel’s presence along the border with Syria. Russian state news agencies reported that ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad has arrived in Moscow with his family and been given asylum. The agencies, Tass and RIA, cited an unidentified Kremlin source. The Associated Press was not immediately able to verify the reports but had contacted the Kremlin for comment. CAIRO — The Arab League on Sunday condemned Israel for taking advantage of Syrian President Bashar Assad's downfall by moving into more Syrian territory. Hours after Assad’s overthrow, Israel announced it had seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights that was established by a cease-fire agreement with Syria in 1974. In a statement, the Arab League said Israel illegally sought to occupy more territories. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the 50-year-old agreement regarding Syrian territory had collapsed and that Syrian troops had abandoned their positions, necessitating Israel taking over as a “temporary defensive position.” UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations secretary-general is marking the “fall of the dictatorial regime” in Syria and says the future of the country is “is a matter for the Syrians to determine.” A statement by Antonio Guterres also called for calm and the protection of the rights of all Syrians as well as of diplomatic and consular facilities in Syria. He said there is much work ahead to ensure an “orderly political transition to renewed institutions,” and he called on the international community to ensure that “any political transition is inclusive and comprehensive and that it meets the legitimate aspirations of the people of Syria, in all their diversity.” KYIV, Ukraine - Ukraine’s top diplomat on Sunday responded to Assad’s ouster by describing him as a “dictator” who relied on Russia to prop up his rule - a reference to the military campaign Moscow has waged in Syria since September 2015, teaming up with Iran to allow Assad’s government to fight armed opposition groups and reclaim control over most of the country. "Assad has fallen. This has always been and will be the case with all dictators who bet on Putin. He always betrays those who rely on him,” foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said in a post on X. In a separate update on the social network, Sybiha said Kyiv was ready to take steps towards restoring relations with Syria, severed months into Russia’s full-scale invasion of the neighboring state. Kyiv broke off diplomatic ties after Damascus in June 2022 recognized Kremlin-occupied parts of eastern Ukraine as independent territories, in a move welcomed by Moscow and decried by the West as a clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty. JERUSALEM — The Israeli military has issued a warning to residents of five villages and towns in southern Syria to stay inside their homes for their safety. “The fighting in your area is forcing the IDF to act,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman said on X. The military didn’t respond to questions. Earlier, Israel said its troops had seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established in 1974, saying it was to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned their positions. Defense Minister Israel Katz said on X that the IDF has been instructed to “seize the buffer zone and control points to ensure the protection of all Israeli communities in the Golan Heights – Jewish and Druze – so that they are not exposed to threats from the other side.” Israel captured the Golan in the 1967 Mideast war and later annexed it. The international community, except for the United States, views it as occupied. BEIRUT - The leader of the largest insurgent group in Syria visited the Syrian capital’s sprawling Umayyad Mosque and declared that the victory against President Bashar Assad “is a victory to the Islamic nation.” Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, made his first public appearance and remarks since fighters entered Damascus. He told hundreds of people at the historic mosque that Assad had made Syria “a farm for Iran’s greed.” He added that Assad made Syria a base for the illegal amphetamine Captagon that brought cash to Assad’s circles. Al-Sharaa, the leader of the jihadi Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, said Sunday that the victory was achieved because of “God and the blood of martyrs.” He said that he left Syria 20 years ago and since then his heart has longed for this movement. AMMAN, Jordan — The vast majority of the Jordanian people are welcoming the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and the success of the Syrian revolution. “There is no doubt that I felt overwhelming joy at the fall of the Assad regime," said Badi Al-Rafaia, Engineer, union activist and member of the Islamic Action Front. "There is no doubt that we are happy with what happened in Syria, happy with the success of the revolution, happy with the Syrian people getting rid of an oppressor and criminal who treated the Syrian people and made the Syrian state a failed state.” Al-Rafaia said that Jordan is benefiting from what happened in Syria, and "we hope that Jordan will help the revolution succeed and not work against it.” Amman resident Muhab al-Majali said the fall of the Assad regime is “The end of every unjust and tyrannical rule, and more than that, it mortgaged the country and its people to the Iranians, who abandoned it in minutes... I believe that the future is beautiful and prosperous for the Syrians.” BERLIN — The International Committee of the Red Cross is calling for safe humanitarian access and protection of civilians in Syria after the fall of Bashir Assad’s government. “Our teams in Syria, including in Damascus, have been closely monitoring the fast-evolving security and humanitarian situation in coordination with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent,” the ICRC’s head of delegation in Syria, Stephan Sakalian, said in a written statement Sunday. The ICRC is “responding wherever possible, with further efforts underway, as hundreds of thousands of people need care and humanitarian assistance,” he said. Sakalian called “on all parties to urgently enable safe and unhindered access for medical and humanitarian workers to reach those in need, to protect civilians, and to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law.” BAGHDAD — The Iraqi government said in a statement Sunday that it “supports all international and regional efforts seeking to open a dialogue” for Syria “leading to the adoption of a pluralistic constitution that preserves the human and civil rights of Syrians, and supports cultural, ethnic and religious diversity.” The statement from government spokesperson Bassem al-Awadi, said that Iraq understands “the necessity of respecting the free will of all Syrians, and stresses that the security of Syria, the unity of its territories, and the preservation of its independence are of utmost importance, not only for Iraq but also for its connection to the security and stability of the region.” It cautioned against “interfering in Syria’s internal affairs, or supporting one party for the benefit of another.” Iraq, which has a close relationship with Iran - once a strong ally of former Syrian President Bashar Assad - has taken in some 2,000 Syrian army soldiers who fled the country amid the advance of armed opposition groups. CAIRO — The head of Yemen’s internationally recognized government welcomed the fall of the government of President Bashar Assad of Syria. “It’s a historic moment,” Rashad al-Alimi, who chairs the ruling presidential council, wrote on X platform of Assad’s downfall. “It’s time for the Iranian regime to stop meddling in Yemen, respect its sovereignty and identity.” Al-Alimi, who is backed by Saudi Arabia, was referring to Iran’s support of Houthi rebels who are at war with Yemen’s internationally recognized government for a decade. DAMASCUS — Families wandered through the high-ceilinged halls of the presidential palace in Damascus on Sunday, along with some armed men. Some paused to take family portraits or selfies on the few remaining couches against the backdrop of mosaiced walls, while others walked out with chairs and other items under their arms. On the massive parking lot out front, cars drove in circles honking ecstatically. In central Damascus’ Umayyad Square, drivers passing by also honked jubilantly, while young men piled onto a tank abandoned in the square. But for some the celebration was bittersweet. “I am very happy, but this happiness will not be completed until I can see my son out of the prison and know where is he is,” said Damascus resident Bassam Masr. “I have been searching for him for two hours - he has been detained for 13 years.” TEL AVIV, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israeli forces have seized a buffer zone in the Golan Heights established by a 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria. He spoke from an overlook near the border between Syria and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, after Syrian rebels tore through the country and dramatically ended Assad’s rule on Sunday morning. Netanyahu said the 50-year-old agreement had collapsed and that Syrian troops had abandoned their positions, necessitating the Israeli takeover as a “temporary defensive position.” Israel captured the Golan Heights in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it. The international community, except for the United States, views it as occupied Syrian territory. Satellite images analyzed by the Associated Press show that as early as September, Israel began construction of what could possibly be a new road right along the so-called Alpha Line that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syria . The United Nations confirmed that Israeli troops entered the demilitarized zone during the work. The United Nations maintains a peacekeeping force in the demilitarized zone called the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, or UNDOF, with around 1,100 peacekeepers from Fiji, India, Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Uruguay. After the 1973 Mideast war, the U.N. Secretary Council voted to create UNDOF to patrol a roughly 400 square kilometer (155 square mile) demilitarized zone and maintain the peace there. DAMASCUS, Syria — An Associated Press journalist in Damascus reported airstrikes in the area of the Mezzeh military airport, southwest of the capital Sunday. The airport has previously been targeted in Israeli airstrikes, but it was not immediately clear who launched Sunday's strike. The Israeli military refused to comment on the airport strike. Israel often does not publicly claim responsibility for attacks in Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor, reported that Israeli warplanes also targeted warehouses belonging to the Syrian army’s Fourth Division and another former military site outside of Damascus Sunday. On Saturday and Sunday, the Israeli military sent additional troops to the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights to bolster Israel’s presence along the border between Israel and Syria. Agricultural areas along the border were declared closed military zones and some schools shifted to online classes in anticipation of unrest.Fianna Fail and Fine Gael eye independent TDs as option to secure Dail majority

Advertisement The latest NFL news and headlines Last updated: 8 a.m. ET, Dec. 8 Injury news | Weather report Featured games | Market share report Flex Fliers | Fantasy football player rankings Injury news Last updated: 8 a.m. ET, Dec. 8 Trevor Lawrence , QB, Jacksonville Jaguars (concussion) — Injured reserve Trevor Lawrence was placed on injured reserve after taking a massive blow to the head in Week 13, clearing the way for Mac Jones . WR Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Evan Engram take big hits with Lawrence out. Jones’ highest passer rating (100.0) came in Week 3. In Week 10, his next game, he achieved only a 38.2 passer rating. On the season, he has a 62 percent completion rate, lower than Daniel Jones , Aidan O’Connell , Will Levis and Aaron Rodgers . Breece Hall , RB, New York Jets (knee) — Out Hall is out, which makes Braelon Allen a flex consideration on a heavy bye week. Hall only had 60 yards rushing in Week 13 but averaged five yards per carry and had 31.1 PPR points in Week 11. Allen is averaging 5.31 PPR points per game but should see increased usage with Hall out. With Aaron Rodgers’ struggles, the Jets may lean on Allen against the Dolphins in Week 14. Allen Lazard , WR, New York Jets (chest) — Expected to play Lazard was activated from injured reserve and is expected to play. But with Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson handling most of the Jets’ targets, Lazard may not be the fantasy force he was early in the season. Bucky Irving , RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (hip/back) — Questionable Irving was a non-participant in Thursday’s practice but is expected to play according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Irving has been getting the bulk of the carries for the Bucs since Week 10 and has been efficient. He’s had just over 27 PPR points the past two weeks and had 152 yards rushing in Week 13. Rachaad White is down to 13.2 PPR points per game on the season but put up 6.9 yards per carry in Week 13, though half of his 76 rushing yards came off a 38-yard run. Advertisement Taysom Hill , TE, New Orleans Saints (knee) — Injured reserve Hill is out for the season due to a torn ACL . Hill’s skillset is unique, and he’s utilized like no one else in the league, but Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau should see more work with Hill out. Cedric Tillman , WR, Cleveland Browns (concussion) — Out Tillman hasn’t played since Week 12, but the real Cleveland WR to start in fantasy is Jerry Jeudy , who had 40.5 PPR points in Week 13. I suggested flexing Jeudy last week, and this week, he may even deserve a WR slot on your roster with six teams on bye. Will Reichard, K, Minnesota Vikings (quadriceps) — Questionable / injured reserve Reichard was designated to return to practice on Tuesday. In Reichard’s absence, John Parker Romo has gone 11-for-12 on field goals and 7-for-8 on extra points this season; his longest kick was a 55-yarder. While Romo played well, Reichard will start for the Vikings when healthy. Dallas Goedert, TE, Philadelphia Eagles (knee) — Injured reserve Goedert injured his knee in the win over the Ravens and has been placed on injured reserve. It’s Grant Calcaterra time again ... but probably not for your fantasy team. Calcaterra scored zero PPR points in five games this season, and his high of 10.7 points came in Week 6. Even with six teams on bye, starting the Eagles backup tight end is for the desperate. Theo Johnson , TE, New York Giants (foot) — Injured reserve Johnson was placed on injured reserve and underwent season-ending foot surgery, according to SI.com’s Patricia Traina. Chris Manhertz is now atop the depth chart at TE for the Giants. Malik Nabers , WR, New York Giants (groin) — Questionable Nabers did not practice Friday and is questionable for Week 14 but has a realistic chance to play, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Nabers is the No. 1 receiver in New York, and with him out, many targets are up for grabs. Look for Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton to see more usage in Nabers’ absence. Advertisement Ja’Tavion Sanders , TE, Carolina Panthers (neck) — Questionable Sanders missed last week and has had only two games with over 10 PPR points this season. Backup TE Tommy Tremble , who had 12.7 PPR points in Week 13, would get another start if Sanders sits again. Jakobi Meyers , WR, Las Vegas Raiders (ankle) — Questionable Meyers didn’t practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 14, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he is expected to play. Meyers has been a bright spot, along with Brock Bowers , on an otherwise hard-to-watch team. Tre Tucker could have some flex relevance without Meyers. Tucker was targeted eight times in Week 12 and had seven receptions for 82 yards. Zamir White , RB, Las Vegas Raiders (quadriceps) — Out Alexander Mattison , RB, Las Vegas Raiders (ankle) — Questionable With both White and Mattison out last week, Sincere McCormick led the backfield with 12 carries and 64 yards, while Ameer Abdullah had 10 rushes for 39 yards. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Mattison is a long shot to play today. With White already ruled out, McCormick has some flex appeal with six teams on bye this week. George Pickens , WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (hamstring) — Questionable Pickens was a limited participant in practice Friday and is now questionable. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he is likely to play but will need to test his hamstring during warmups. Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III are lower-end flex options this week, with six teams on bye. In Week 13, Jefferson saw more targets, but Austin scored a touchdown, had more fantasy points, and has more targets per game this season than Jefferson. Raheem Mostert , RB, Miami Dolphins (hip) — Questionable Mostert is questionable heading into Week 14. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that he is not expected to play. De’Von Achane is the No. 1 RB in Miami, but with Mostert out, Jaylen Wright could see more usage. On the year, Wright is averaging 4.1 yards per carry. Christian McCaffrey , RB, San Francisco 49ers (knee) — Injured reserve Jordan Mason , RB, San Francisco 49ers (ankle) — Out The Niners placed McCaffrey on injured reserve early this week, and Mason is expected to join him, so I subsequently placed a waiver claim for Isaac Guerendo in every one of my leagues (seven) and was successful in one. Guerendo is now San Francisco’s No. 1 back, and he’s been good when given the chance. He has averaged 5.9 yards per carry, and among RBs with over 40 carries — Guerendo has 42 — he’s ranked first in yards before contact per rush. Kenneth Walker III , RB, Seattle Seahawks (ankle/calf) — Out Walker is out for Week 14, making Zach Charbonnet a great flex option. Charbonnet had 12.1 PPR points last week and averaged seven yards per carry; however, on the season, he is averaging only 3.5 yards per rush. Advertisement Dalton Kincaid , TE, Buffalo Bills (knee) — Questionable Kincaid is not expected to play, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Kincaid hasn’t played since Week 10, and if he sits again, Dawson Knox is a streaming option during a week with six teams on bye. Keon Coleman , WR, Buffalo Bills (wrist) — Questionable Coleman remains questionable heading into Week 14 and is a game-time decision, according to Ian Rapoport. Khalil Shakir gets the most usage for Buffalo. If Coleman sits, Shakir’s and Cooper’s stock rise when the Bills head to Los Angeles to face the Rams . D’Andre Swift , RB, Chicago Bears (quadriceps) — Questionable Roschon Johnson , RB, Chicago Bears (concussion) — Out Swift and Johnson did not participate in Thursday’s practice, and Johnson was subsequently ruled out. Behind them on the depth chart is Travis Homer , who has three carries on the year. Swift (3.9 yards per carry) is the No. 1 back in Chicago, but Johnson (2.9 YPC) did see 10 carries in Week 11. Swift is averaging 13.89 PPR points per game, with a 29.5-point season high in Week 4. DJ Moore , WR, Chicago Bears (quadriceps) — Questionable Moore is questionable heading into the week. If Moore doesn’t play, high-ceiling, low-floor WR Rome Odunze could be a viable flex option. Tyler Higbee , TE, Los Angeles Rams (knee) — Out Higbee practiced this week and had a chance to be activated off injured reserve but will remain out for Week 14. Davis Allen is the Rams’ No. 1 on the depth chart but has no fantasy relevance, scoring 0.99 PPR points per game. Colby Parkinson has done slightly better with 4.8 points per game. Ladd McConkey , WR, Los Angeles Chargers (knee) — Questionable McConkey is a true game-time decision, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. If he can’t play in Week 14, Quentin Johnston will benefit the most, and Joshua Palmer could also see additional targets. On the season, McConkey’s seen 24.9 percent of team targets; TE Will Dissly’s had 16.3 percent, Johnston’s absorbed 14.2 percent and Palmer gets only 12.6 percent. McConkey’s absence leaves a lot behind, and Johnston’s ceiling is around the 22 PPR points he scored in Week 9, while he’s averaged 9.72 points this year. Spencer Shrader , K, Kansas City Chiefs (hamstring) — Injured reserve After Harrison Butker was placed on IR, the Kansas City Chiefs signed Shrader from the Jets’ practice squad. Shrader was 3-for-3 on field goal attempts (including a game-winner in Week 12) and made all six extra-point attempts. But a hamstring injury sent Shrader to IR, and the Chiefs signed Matthew Wright to their active roster. In Week 13, Wright made 4-of-5 field goal attempts (missing only a 59-yarder) and hit his only extra-point attempt. Advertisement Evan McPherson , K, Cincinnati Bengals (groin) — Injured reserve McPherson has been placed on injured reserve. In his absence, the Bengals are signing Cade York to the practice squad, and he’ll likely be next in line to kick for Cincinnati. York kicked for the Commanders in Week 1 and went 0-for-2 on field goals but made both of his extra-point attempts. CeeDee Lamb , WR, Dallas Cowboys (shoulder) — Expected to play Jake Ferguson , TE, Dallas Cowboys (concussion) — Expected to play Lamb is the only reliable Cowboys receiver and Dallas owner Jerry Jones said he will benefit from rest and should be ready for Week 14, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic . With all the Cowboys’ struggles and Cooper Rush taking over QB duties, Lamb is still averaging 16.49 PPR points on the season. Ferguson hasn’t played since Week 11 and is only averaging 8.66 PPR points per game, but he has averaged 6.44 targets and 4.78 receptions per game and should make it back for Week 14. Weather report Outdoor games only According to Rotowire ’s aggregated NFL-related forecasts, no games on the schedule will be impacted by weather. None have expected temperatures below 35 degrees, which would impact the passing game as per Jake Ciely’s fantasy football strategy guide to weather and as illustrated in the table below. Featured games Game-specific previews and live updates are available on the day of the game. Buffalo Bills (10-2) vs. Los Angeles Rams (6-6) The Buffalo Bills, having clinched the AFC East, go on the road as favorites to face the Los Angeles Rams. The 6-6 Rams still have a shot at the NFC West title and have plenty to play for, but motivation does not equal victory. LA’s defense ranks 28th in rushing yards allowed per game, which bodes well for James Cook who averages 4.7 yards per rush and has 11 rushing TDs on the year. Josh Allen has the odds to win MVP this year with 2,691 passing yards, 334 rushing yards, 26 total TDs and only five interceptions. His primary targets are Khalil Shakir (6.64 targets per game), Amari Cooper (6.6) and Dalton Kincaid (5.9). The Rams suffered from wide receiver injuries early in the season, but Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are now healthy. Matthew Stafford ranks in the top 10 in passing TDs and passing yards but ranks last in passer rating under pressure. Fortunately for him, the Bills rank in the bottom half of the league in sack percentage and opponents time to pressure and time to throw. Kyren Williams has 926 rushing yards (5th in the NFL) and 10 rushing TDs (T-7th) on the year. Blake Corum had eight carries in Week 13, tying his season-high in Week 2 but remains a handcuff with limited fantasy viability. Read the full preview . Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (11-1) The Kansas City Chiefs are home favorites in their second matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. In the teams’ first meeting, the Chiefs won 17-10, typical of a skin-of-their-teeth season in which they’ve won by three points or fewer in three of their last four games — the fourth game was their only loss, to Buffalo. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have renewed their chemistry since Week 4, and Kelce has had three 20-plus PPR performances since then. During the past three weeks, DeAndre Hopkins has run the most routes (87) and been the most targeted (19) receiver (outside of Kelce). Xavier Worthy is right behind him with 19 targets and 83 routes. Isiah Pacheco averaged 6.3 yards per carry in his first game back last week, and he’ll likely see more touches going forward. Advertisement The Chargers’ 8-4 record is their best at this point in the season since 2018, but much of their success has come against weaker opponents. They’ve lost to the Steelers, Cardinals , Ravens (and Chiefs). Head coach Jim Harbaugh has made massive improvements to the defense, and Justin Herbert and the offense are coming along. But J.K. Dobbins is out for the season, Gus Edwards is an inadequate fill-in, and Ladd McConkey is battling a knee injury. If McConkey plays, he’s shaping into an every-week starter with 17.8 PPR points per game over the past three weeks, fantasy’s WR13 during that time. Read the full preview . Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) vs. Dallas Cowboys (5-7) The 4-8 Cincinnati Bengals are favored on the road against the 5-7 Dallas Cowboys. While the Cowboys defeated the Giants on Thanksgiving, they face a tougher QB in Joe Burrow , who is having a career year with a 108.4 passer rating to go with a league-leading 3,337 passing yards and 30 passing TDs. Chase Brown is averaging 14.78 PPR points per game, and Ja’Marr Chase leads the league in receiving yards (1,142). Tee Higgins ranks fourth overall in PPR points per game (18.4) for receivers who have played in five or more games, putting up WR1 numbers as the team’s No. 2 receiver. The Cowboys may struggle to stop Burrow, but even with Cooper Rush under center, they may be able to score on the Bengals, who allow the second-most points and are ranked 27th in yards per game allowed. CeeDee Lamb, tied for fourth in total receiving yards, tweaked his shoulder on Thanksgiving but should be ready for MNF, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic . Rico Dowdle is a boom-or-bust RB3/flex (in 12-team leagues) with under 10 PPR points in five games this season and over 19 in three but should find opportunities against Cincinnati’s defense. Read the full preview (coming Monday). Statistics in this section come from TruMedia . Market share report Michael Salfino studies utilization to help you set your Week 14 lineup. Target and touch totals are important but not as important as the market share. “Targets” is mostly a receiver stat (although there are some notable early exceptions). Touches are the currency of the running back. What we’re doing is really simple. For pass-catchers, market share is targets divided by team pass attempts. For running backs, it is touches divided by team plays from scrimmage (not team touches, to be clear). Advertisement Rico Dowdle should be starting for you. He’s been in the top 10 for the past two weeks now. Ditto Bucky Irving , who is electric (but who may be banged up — check the practice reports). Don’t ask me questions about these guys, who play each other in Week 16. —Salfino Read all of Salfino’s insights . Flex Fliers Scott Engel discusses last-minute free agency options to fill roster holes. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, NO (52 percent rostered): MVS’ rostered percentage continues to climb, but many skeptics remain because of his long history of following good games with long quiet spells. But the new reality is that Derek Carr enjoys hitting Valdes-Scantling downfield frequently, to the tune of four TDs in the last three games. The New York Giants rank sixth in fantasy points per game allowed to WRs over the past four weeks, but their defense may also spend a lot of time on the field. Kimani Vidal , RB, LAC (32 percent): Gus Edwards could start losing touches to the rookie as soon as this week. Vidal averaged five yards per carry last week and can invigorate a Los Angeles Chargers offense that needs a sparkplug in an important matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.
