KC's incentive is irrelevant, except as it relates to Buffalo being incentivized to win to keep the pressure on KC.
 | Baltimore Ravens (10-6) | at |  | Cincinnati Bengals (11-4) |
 | New England Patriots (8-8) | at |  | Buffalo Bills (12-3) |
 | Kansas City Chiefs (13-3) | at |  | Las Vegas Raiders (6-10) |
Those points would be erased
So it thens become a week 19 game. One league site I am on states in it's rules for a game to count it must be completed in the week it is scheduled. The NFL "week" ends on Wednesday,Thursday is day one of the following week. So either way this game will not be a week 17 game. Just thought I'd put that out there.
So if they did this one problem would be if any of the players got injured Allen, Diggs, Chase, Burrow, Higgins ect. So then what happens in week 19 when they resumed the game for those people's players ?
He's gotta still concede to you.
My solution for the injured player in week 18 not being able to play in week 19 would be that owner could put in a replacement player just like he would if that player got injured in week 12 for a week 13 game. It really isn't any different than that other than there being less choices since it's only one game's worth of players
Agree. I think the best solution for fantasy purposes would be to decide on a course of action now that we know the game will not be a week 17 game. Just my thoughts so as not to drag this out,people will be upset,people will be glad,but that's the nature of fantasy football every week.
this is unprecedented. You may have to hand do the stats if the website won't support this kind of thing.
This is a national site with the people who run the games making the final decision,players have no input. We agree to abide by the rules
Except there are only 2 teams in play week 19 Buf/Cin what are the chances he has a replacement ? Not likely at all.
I believe this will happen. There's no scenario where the Buff-Cin game is meaningless.
It's unfortunate but it still is a possibility and better than taking a zero. It's a weird situation and this is a feasible solution that is fair for everyone while still giving an opportunity to get points for the continuation of that game. I would guess guys like Beasley, Irwin, Shakir, McKenzie could be available. You can even say those players are available even if they were on another team just for this particular instance and that the other team can't block them if you want to make sure that team gets a replacement.
I would really hope the other team would pro-actively concede.
I think splitting the pot is close to the fairest thing you can do.
I would still split the pot or chop it between the 2 of them...if the guy with +2 concedes, makes your job very easy
Same situation here. I'm commish, and was almost surely going to lose last night (+37, he still had Allen/Diggs/Singletary/Wilson). But as the scores stand now, I would be winner. That certainly doesn't seem fair. With the game officially not being made-up this week, I have decided to concede.
Here's the message from MFL:
That seems like a pretty clear victory for the team with Allen/Chase/Higgins. That'd be a pretty lame owner to complain about that, as those guys had in 2 series already scored enough points.
We are leaning towards double counting week 18 for the applicable players and assigning the week 18 total to the week 17 games. If the week 17 does continue in week 19 then we will revert to the week 19 scores for the week 17 game.
The way they worded it on my home page it sounds like those points would still count if the game was resumed from that spot. As of now it's a reset in case the game is cancelled or replayed from the start.
If the 104.72 team owner doesn't concede he should be mercilessly ridiculed forever or until he quits the league.
Yeah this is what I'm advocating for in the leagues I'm in where this matters.
They sent another tweet in reply in that thread saying that will not be the case. All stats default to zero. No points applied in event of reschedule, unless commish overrides.
Have everyone submit a lineup for week 18 and those Bills and Bengals players scores count for both week 17 semi and the week 18 finals (If it matters)
That is what we are doing if they never continue with the suspended game
I agree, if the game is cancelled (it is) then thats it, 0 points from that game and the 2022 ff season is over. If home lgs want to try something else fine, but it is no brainer for mid and high stakes lgs, the game is cancelled, playoffs are over. It stinks, hurts me in some, helps in others, but there really is no other option.
I guess in public leagues with thousands of competitors there likely isn't another simple option. But for private leagues there is a simple solution. Use Week 18 pts for week 17 for the Buf/Cin players. It is simple and easy to figure out. If they decide after week 18 to resume the suspended game in week 19 then those stats will count for week 17. Straightforward and simple. This is the option.
