Fantasy Football Implications from MNF Game (2 Viewers)

[BassNBrew]

Well..... I have a real good Championship Game situation for you all to see and hear....... A real doozy.....

Before the Buff/Cincy game:

Team A has 119.08

Team B has 122.32

Team B has no one left. No player in the Buff/Cincy game.
Stays at 122.32 points

Team A has Tyler Boyd left. Boyd scores the TD.
Gets 7.90 points
Goes to 126,98 points.

Now what??????!!!!!

How should this situation be handled if the game is not resumed?????

Team A gets the victory. The lead and B has no players left. This one’s an easy call.

Team B should concede.

With the Boyd situation, that's a no brainer. It happened on the field, and the guy should get his win

And if Boyd had a donut at the time then you use season averages or week 18 scores? I don’t see this as a no brained and would call it cherry picking.

How do we determine points every week? From the final official stats from The NFL for that week. Week 17 is over,if The NFL makes the stats from last nights game official,they count. If The NFL does not make the stats official,there are no points for any player last night. Even if the game is resumed it doesn't change the fact that week 17 is over. Games for week 17 use stats for week 17. The major national sites are going this way(RTS,MFL,etc) our local league will follow.

Just to throw another wrench in the story........

I am Team A

And I am the Commissioner.

But he didn’t.

He scored a TD, and the other team had no players left.

If he’d scored a 0 at the time, then other ways of figuring it out might be needed (like week 18 stats)

But since he did in fact score a TD, for all intents and purposes, the LCG was over.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I was down 10 with chase vs Allen. Prob would lose anyway. But who knows? Should be a split pot imo

Why not use week 18 stats for those players?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t rule Boyd does good I win and if Boyd does bad I get a do over.

[BassNBrew]

I was down 10 with chase vs Allen. Prob would lose anyway. But who knows? Should be a split pot imo

Unless it’s Boyd or Cinny D then use week 17

Games for week 17 use stats for week 17. The major national sites are going this way(RTS,MFL,etc) our local league will follow.

If I were team B in that scenario, I would concede regardless of how the NFL officially scores it.

As team B I had no players left and my opponent took the lead.

I would post congratulations and concede. It seems very simple to me that once Boyd scored and I could not win, I lost.

But that’s just me.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I was down 10 with chase vs Allen. Prob would lose anyway. But who knows? Should be a split pot imo

Unless it’s Boyd or Cinny D then use week 17

Different circumstances.

In my league we both have players left. 5 total between us.

So we’re going to use week 18.

But in the case of the Boyd TD, one team had no players left.

Anyways they’re all just opinions. I have mine. I respect yours - not worth arguing about.

I’m just glad my league is reasonable and we figured an amiable solution that everyone can live with.

It’s a clusterf*** - I wish everyone luck with their own flavor of it.

 

[BassNBrew]

Had a smoking good Sunday/ Monday FD lineup going FD ruled it never happened

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t rule Boyd does good I win and if Boyd does bad I get a do over.

It’s the internet. I can do whatever I want.


lol - I understand where you’re coming from. As I suggested above, I believe different context require different solutions.

Also that’s a terrible expression. If I have cake you will literally have to fight me to prevent me from eating it.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

With this logic getting a 0 should end the game as well.

Why? Boyd would still have had 3+ quarters to play.

Team B *still had no one left*.

Again, reasonable minds can disagree.

Hard same. It’s been a sucky way to enter the new year and really taints an amazing season to date.

I went 14-2 and was the 1-seed, blew up last week to get to my 1st LCG in 9 years in that league.

And instead of lamenting a loss or celebrating a victory, I’ve had to spend a few hours in talks with league mates and Co-commish to get to the point where it’s still up in the air.

At least I still haven’t technically lost yet.

 

[LionOfGosforth]

I was up 117 - 72, a lead of 45 pts. All done while my opponent had Josh Allen.

His seasonal average is 28 in my scoring, though he has reached 40+ 3 times (though not as high as 45).

I believe that, with 2 points late first quarter, it would be unlikely he'd reach 46 pts but of course I don't know for sure.

I had hoped my opponent would make it easy and concede but being as he's a Bills fan, he's not particularly in the mood today, understandably so. We host on ESPN, so guess we wait to see what they announce?

Any guidance or thoughts appreciated.

 

[Tin Cup]

Based on the MFL language, it looks like I will end up winning my league.

I had a slight lead going into MNF with my Diggs, Knox, and Bass against his Davis and Johnson (DB). Lead widened in Q1.

Does not feel like a satisfying championship or resolution to the season.

T&P to Hamlin for a positive outcome and good quality of life.

 

[Don Quixote]

The situation reminds me a bit of the COVID season, when just ran the risk of some positives showing up. I remember making some starting lineup decisions to avoid MNF because I knew game on Sunday was going off and player was active, and did not want to risk a zero on Monday with no ability to replace. Risk a game gets scrapped for any reason just part of the luck of FF. (Obviously, no strategy that could have avoided this situation — just comparing it to games got postponed and FF players not awarded points for that week.)

That said, I do think could apply some fantasy baseball type principles, where suspended games happen more frequently. There, get credit in your weekly stats for those stats accrued before the suspension. Zeroing out like MFL and some others doing is inconsistent with what happens there.

But ultimately, any solution will be arbitrary and unfair to someone. I just hope everyone approaches the situation with grace and keeps in mind that none of this really matters all that much

ESPN leagues are still in stand-by.. We have one league where team a is up 20, but team B had/has Diggs and Chase still left..

As this was final week, not sure how ESPN will handle it.

My dynasty league has Team A at 139 and done while Team B has 106 with Chase and Higgins on standby.

 

[Rubi]

FFPC just announced week 17 is over. Stats from Monday's game are still on The NFL web-site so they will remain in the scoring for this week. Once league stats are official on Friday prizes will be awarded. If The NFL removes the stats from Monday's game then those points will be removed from fantasy teams and prizes will be awarded on Friday.

I am talking about people who spent thousands but were in position to win a million or so. It isn't like you are going to read some obscure rule and say I won't play because of that 0.01% chance to be in this situation.

To be specific there is a guy in the FFPC main event he paid $1500 to get in and he came into Monday night 11.2 points out with Singletary left. The guy in 1st who will now win back to back Million dollar prizes is now the winner. Now the guy in 2nd still gets a nice chunk of money but coming from a guy who has finished in both 1st and 2nd place in RTS in 2014 and 2015 I know how much it hurts to miss the big prize and also to win the big prize.

2nd place is $200K

 

[scottybo]

Has anyone seen anything definitive about DK best ball payouts? Last I saw is they are withholding until the game is completed, but NFL said it won't be played this week.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I was up 117 - 72, a lead of 45 pts. All done while my opponent had Josh Allen.

His seasonal average is 28 in my scoring, though he has reached 40+ 3 times (though not as high as 45).

Split the pot down the middle if there is one
It's hard, it sucks, you had him beat but...Split it if you can and be the bigger man
But I think it's nice you are understanding of him since he roots for the Bills.
My bartender/waitress at one of my fav spots is an open Bills fan down here in South Florida
I left a larger than normal tip today, just felt bad for her.

 

[Don Quixote]

Zealots just sent an email that they will include Week 18 stats for Bengals and Bills players who were started in Week 17 into Week 17 scores. Also, if an owner started a Bills or Bengals player in Week 17, they can substitute another Bills or Bengals player.

 

[BigA]

What do you guys do if you feel bad when youre winning but know you probably would of lost if it continued? It was a battle of the top 2 teams.
Team A had the best record. Outscored Team B by over 150pts in the season. Team B was winning by 33pts. Team A had Burrow and Diggs left and PROBABLY was going to win.
What are some thoughts here? If the game doesnt resume Do you chop it? Does Team B just say its yours and chop the pot? Team B keeps top spot money and give Team A the champoinshio?

This is an unprecedent situation that could not of been predicted at this time of the season but games get cancelled in all sports that alter a Win and loss.
In fantasy baseball, games get postponed all the time and I know not with this magnitude that alter the weeks and wins for a team.

 

[DropKick]

Our championship game was projected to be within 2 points with four players active in last night's game. Notified them we can complete the game if the NFL does but, otherwise, my preference would be co-champs splitting the pot. I'm not directly involved. Seems like the lesser evil. Given them the opportunity to comment. Let's see what type of feedback surfaces. Maybe they'll surprise me.

Ours is similar and, as stated above, my preference is to call them co-champs and split the money. I think any outcome comes with an asterisk so I may as well recognize both teams.

Ouch...but that's what I expected.

If he hadn't scored a TD by the time the game was suspended, we wouldn't be able to say with any confidence who would have won. So in that case I'd vote to split the pot.

But ultimately, any solution will be arbitrary and unfair to someone. I just hope everyone approaches the situation with grace and keeps in mind that none of this really matters all that much

Except to the people that have millions on the line.

If I had millions on the line, I'd be kicking myself for not vetting the league rules more carefully before committing my money.

I am talking about people who spent thousands but were in position to win a million or so. It isn't like you are going to read some obscure rule and say I won't play because of that 0.01% chance to be in this situation.

To be specific there is a guy in the FFPC main event he paid $1500 to get in and he came into Monday night 11.2 points out with Singletary left. The guy in 1st who will now win back to back Million dollar prizes is now the winner. Now the guy in 2nd still gets a nice chunk of money but coming from a guy who has finished in both 1st and 2nd place in RTS in 2014 and 2015 I know how much it hurts to miss the big prize and also to win the big prize.

2nd place is $200K

Hard to sign up for these with a 15-20% vig and crap like this can happen. A lot of people will have a sour taste about ff from events like this.

Well..... I have a real good Championship Game situation for you all to see and hear....... A real doozy.....

Before the Buff/Cincy game:

Team A has 119.08

Team B has 122.32

Team B has no one left. No player in the Buff/Cincy game.
Stays at 122.32 points

Team A has Tyler Boyd left. Boyd scores the TD.
Gets 7.90 points
Goes to 126,98 points.

Now what??????!!!!!

How should this situation be handled if the game is not resumed?????

Team A should get the victory, and if Team B disputes that then he/she sucks at life.

Just to throw another wrench in the story........

I am Team A

And I am the Commissioner.

League vote?

League votes usually tell you who your friends are...or aren't.

Well, guess it pays to not be a douche then… at least in fantasy football

Going into Monday night it was projected 50/50 with Allen + Bass Vs Cook.

Some good ideas including using week 18 stats for those 3 players, waiting for the game to be finished, etc.

In the end decided to split 50/50 so we can end the season and move forward. Never have been a fan of the split but this is not a normal situation.

 

[BigJim®]

Did I read right that if the game is cancelled, Bengals win the north regardless of week 18? Seems iffy to me relying on week 18 as a solution.

I don’t love any of the solutions I’m seeing. I’m kicking around that the best way to replicate actual stats from players in a prime time meaningful game against playoff completion may be to use stats from week one playoffs involving Buffalo/Cincinnati. I can’t say it’s a better resolution than giving goose eggs, but it’s more satisfying.

What do you guys do if you feel bad when youre winning but know you probably would of lost if it continued? It was a battle of the top 2 teams.
Team A had the best record. Outscored Team B by over 150pts in the season. Team B was winning by 33pts. Team A had Burrow and Diggs left and PROBABLY was going to win.
What are some thoughts here? If the game doesnt resume Do you chop it? Does Team B just say its yours and chop the pot? Team B keeps top spot money and give Team A the champoinshio?

This is an unprecedent situation that could not of been predicted at this time of the season but games get cancelled in all sports that alter a Win and loss.
In fantasy baseball, games get postponed all the time and I know not with this magnitude that alter the weeks and wins for a team.

Ours is similar and, as stated above, my preference is to call them co-champs and split the money. I think any outcome comes with an asterisk so I may as well recognize both teams.

What if one team has a 6 point lead with no players left and the other team has Josh Allen, joe Mixon, and Gabe Davis left and that team is the commissioner?

Still split pot 50/50.

Alternative option: Let it play out however the site determines, in which case the team with the 6 point lead probably wins right?

Zealots just sent an email that they will include Week 18 stats for Bengals and Bills players who were started in Week 17 into Week 17 scores. Also, if an owner started a Bills or Bengals player in Week 17, they can substitute another Bills or Bengals player.

Hey Don, I sent you a reply regarding this. It's probably not how I would have done it, but the solutions are wildly imperfect. All of them. So I understand and look forward to Sunday. Another week of pins and needles! It's probably the best way to go, actually.

More detailed update from Yahoo:

We understand Yahoo Fantasy Football managers are awaiting news regarding the postponed Week 17 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills. Our main concern is Damar Hamlin’s health at this time. Our thoughts are with Damar, his family and the Buffalo Bills. These are unprecedented circumstances so we wanted to provide as much clarity as we can while awaiting the NFL’s final decision on the game.

Here’s what you need to know if you are competing in a season-long fantasy league with active playoffs​

• Week 17 standings will update for now, but scoring updates will be applied once a decision regarding the Bills-Bengals game status is made by the NFL. Waivers will be processed as normal for leagues playing in Week 18.
• Yahoo will be honoring the official NFL Gamebook for Week 17 by updating the stats and fantasy scores in our game to match the official record.
• If official NFL scoring changes impact the result of your Week 17 matchup, we will retroactively adjust Week 18 matchups to reflect the change.
• Payouts for Private and Public Prize Leagues will not be processed until a final decision is made by the NFL on the Bills-Bengals game status.
• League commissioners have the choice to make manual changes through their commissioner tools but we encourage commissioners to wait until the NFL makes a final decision on the game's status.
• If your league has any active Week 18 playoff matchups, you should set your lineup as usual.

The Week 17 Bills-Bengals game is currently in a postponed state. As such, all stats accumulated hold as is for now (as per official NFL gamebook).

IN THE EVENT OF A BILLS-BENGALS GAME CANCELLATION​

• If the game is declared final by the NFL and scored as is (meaning the score is finalized as 7-3), all fantasy points will remain as is.
• If the game is canceled and stats are zeroed out by the NFL, all fantasy points accumulated in the Bills-Bengals game will be zeroed out to reflect the official record.

IN THE EVENT OF A BILLS-BENGALS GAME CONTINUATION​

• If the game resumes (at any point in the future), scores will accrue as they normally would for Week 17 matchups. This will impact Week 17 results and Week 18 matchups may be impacted (as necessary).
  • Example: A manager who wins their Week 17 matchup may end up losing after we apply stat corrections following the completion of the Bills-Bengals game. That manager’s Week 18 matchup would then be a 3rd-place game rather than the championship game.

Re-scoring previous weeks is not something we take lightly, as these are truly unprecedented circumstances. However, we want to ensure a fair outcome for all impacted matchups. We hope to never have to implement re-scoring previous weeks in the future.

Waivers will be processed as normal for leagues playing in Week 18.

Thank you for choosing our platform for your fantasy experience and we truly appreciate your patience during this time.

In the PPR superflex auction league I commish, I led a discussion and this was what was decided.

Our championship and third-place games are played over two weeks (16 and 17). In the championship game, one team led the other by 133.7, with the trailing team having Cook, Chase and Knox left. They would have to average more than 44 points each for the trailing team to catch up, so there were no issues with declaring the leader to be the champion.

The third-place game was tougher to figure out. One team led the other by 17.7, but the trailing team had 4 players left vs. 1 for the leading team. I presented several options and suggested that if the two owners agreed on one, we abide by that. They chose to declare the game a tie and split the third-place prize money.

We give $20 to the team with the high score each week, continuing through Week 17. We decided to give that prize to the team currently with the highest score.

Correction:
if the game is rescheduled use those stats and apply to week 17. If not, apply week 18 stats from Bills and Bengals players to week 17.

 

[jabarony]

So the FFPC ended with stats from the game. Man, gonna be a lot of happy/upset people

Easy decision by them. And by that I mean it's the least amount of work for them, not updating their software, etc.

It really only impacted me in one league where I needed Diggs to get ~8ppr pts for a couple hundred bucks. But I'm guessing there are people with 10x (100x?) more on the line staring at 3 MNF players with goose eggs. That's gotta hurt.

Not sure why they couldn't just use week 18 stats, average, wait on "week 19", etc. Oh yeah - see above.

That’s BS when I had. 99.99999% chance of winning with 3 players remaining and he has none and only a 6 point lead.

in all 3 leagues I commish we will do the following:

if the game is rescheduled use those stats and apply to week 17. If not, apply week 18 stats from Bills and Bengals players to week 17.
