I am wondering people are handling this in their leagues. Are you simply telling the owners not to start these players? Will you count the points from this game whenever it is played for week 2?
I assume this one is specifically about commissioner-talk. That's why I didn't play Honda police in the first response.Did we really need another thread about this?

thats not a bad idea. will cbs sportsline let me do this after the games are played? will it make all the scoring and other adjustments?I'm just going with the sub route. If they start a BAL or HOU player, they can announce a sub that will be switched in if the game isn't played.
This has already been discussed in the other three threads.I assume this one is specifically about commissioner-talk. That's why I didn't play Honda police in the first response.Did we really need another thread about this?no hondas here. I am just trying to see what other commissioners are doing so that i can handle this the best way i can in my league.
This depends greatly on league size. And once 1 or more players is affected, it becomes worth discussing.Between these teams, 4 fantasy players will be affected.
Thanks for contributing. You could have just ignored this thread if it bothered you so.This has already been discussed in the other three threads.I assume this one is specifically about commissioner-talk.

The only way scenario 2 could happen in my mind is if it's played after the regular season. If it's played at any other time, wouldn't it just be a bye week for both teams.BTW, this should be much clearer this afternoon. I've just told my guys to be on stand-by at this point and treat it like an injury that will be a GTD for their Houston and Baltimore players.1) If game is postponed and Houston and Baltimore have their bye weeks this week, then so be it. Just continue as if it was a regular bye week for those players.2) If the game is postponed to a later date (ie. HOU-BAL Week 2 game is played in November) then assign the stats from that game back to each fantasy team's week 2 matchup. The only real problem this could cause is if this game is postponed to sometime after your fantasy regular season. (i.e. HOU-BAL game is played in Week 18 - what if the stats the players get would have changed the outcome of the regular season standings but its too late cause you have awarded your championship)
Not sure about CBS, but scores can be adjusted in MFL.thats not a bad idea. will cbs sportsline let me do this after the games are played? will it make all the scoring and other adjustments?I'm just going with the sub route. If they start a BAL or HOU player, they can announce a sub that will be switched in if the game isn't played.
Does anyone know what time they will be announcing the decision?The chronicle article has been updated, the only news is that the game will not be played at Reliant, they could still play Monday night somewhere else. NFL will make a decision today.
I just heard on TV it is postponed.The chronicle article has been updated, the only news is that the game will not be played at Reliant, they could still play Monday night somewhere else. NFL will make a decision today.
Quite a few IDP starters on these two teams.Between these teams, 4 fantasy players will be affected.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5999358.htmlThe NFL will determine where and when the Texans play the Ravens. The Texans' bye week (Oct. 26) is a possibility. The Texans and Bengals have the same bye week. The Ravens' bye week is Nov. 9. The Texans host the Bengals on Nov. 9. The Texans could host the Bengals on Oct. 26 and the Ravens on Nov. 9.I just heard on TV it is postponed.The chronicle article has been updated, the only news is that the game will not be played at Reliant, they could still play Monday night somewhere else.

So that would mean 15 straight games for both the Ravens and Texans... that would hurt IMOIs there any chance they could move the game to Austin or San Antonio. I know in San Antonio we have not had a drop of rain.. I am pretty sure Austin is pretty dry as well.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5999358.htmlThe NFL will determine where and when the Texans play the Ravens.

This looks like the same news that it won't be played at Reliant stadium. Has the decision been made to reschedule the date of the game?http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5999358.htmlThe NFL will determine where and when the Texans play the Ravens.

NFL to announce at 4pm, surely they had a backup plan?Does anyone know what time they will be announcing the decision?The chronicle article has been updated, the only news is that the game will not be played at Reliant, they could still play Monday night somewhere else.

Austin is dry, Ike took a turn East and we are just getting a bit of wind. No real rain to speak of. Would love to have the game in Austin, but the Alamodome would make more sense.So that would mean 15 straight games for both the Ravens and Texans... that would hurt IMOIs there any chance they could move the game to Austin or San Antonio.

Man my yard could of used a little bit of rain.

Teams played 16 straight weeks for quite a while. The bye week is a construct by the NFL to squeeze out another week of revenue, not a chance for teams to get rest.So that would mean 15 straight games for both the Ravens and Texans... that would hurt IMOIs there any chance they could move the game to Austin or San Antonio.

If this is the case, the most logical thing to do is to treat this as a bye week.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5999358.htmlThe NFL will determine where and when the Texans play the Ravens. The Texans' bye week (Oct. 26) is a possibility. The Texans and Bengals have the same bye week. The Ravens' bye week is Nov. 9. The Texans host the Bengals on Nov. 9.

There are some issues with this, assuming the game is postponed to a later week.1. I assume you'd have to get fantasy teams to designate who their starters are now, and add their points later. So those teams would not be able to cut or trade those players by the time the game is played, or they would get a zero... right?2. If those points are going to count retroactively in week 2, then that means HOU/BAL players cannot be counted in the week the game is actually played... right?3. Will the teams who are waiting on points from this game receive no win or loss for this week until the game is played? This affects waiver order in many leagues.IMO the only possible option is to treat week 2 like the bye weeks for HOU and BAL. That will no doubt hurt some owners, but I don't think other options are logical.2) If the game is postponed to a later date (ie. HOU-BAL Week 2 game is played in November) then assign the stats from that game back to each fantasy team's week 2 matchup. The only real problem this could cause is if this game is postponed to sometime after your fantasy regular season. (i.e. HOU-BAL game is played in Week 18 - what if the stats the players get would have changed the outcome of the regular season standings but its too late cause you have awarded your championship)
Hope people have adequate backups for all those Ray Rice/Steve Slaton tandems...Should this be rescheduled in another week later in the season, it will have HUGE impacts on the subscriber contest, the ultimate survivor leagues, and all other survivor and best ball leagues.
I'm in that situation and I have no idea how it will be handled in my league.Say for example, you have Balt D only. The waiver period is over, if this is treated like a bye, you'd get a zero for D this week? That doesn't sound fair.
Well, first there's no guarantee that this game is being cancelled. Second, a reasonable commish would open up the waiver period for such an owner.Say for example, you have Balt D only. The waiver period is over, if this is treated like a bye, you'd get a zero for D this week? That doesn't sound fair.
Sometime life ain't fair. That's not news. In this sort of league, I'm sure you've been stuck with a zero due to Sunday morning players ruled out so it's not a lot different. But if I were in a league where there were no last minute pickups allowed, I'd be looking to change the rules anyway.Say for example, you have Balt D only. The waiver period is over, if this is treated like a bye, you'd get a zero for D this week? That doesn't sound fair.
same here in the leagues I commish...Only clarification is that location of the game does not matter... IF it gets moved to Waco or something, the starters would still count, if it gets cancelled, the backup points count.I'm just going with the sub route. If they start a BAL or HOU player, they can announce a sub that will be switched in if the game isn't played.
way more than that in IDPBetween these teams, 4 fantasy players will be affected.
They'll play this week.Moving the game to San Antonio as a few other suggested was my first thought. Surely the NFL has contingency plans. I'll be surprised if they don't play somewhere this week.
ESPN is reporting the game was postponed and has not been re-scheduled as of right now...looks like it will be played at a later date.In my league, we're waiting for the NFL conference call announcement. However we've considered a separate email submission of a contingency player, if the game is cancelled or delayed beyond week 2.Don't forget that standings will be delayed and could affect waiver wire and FA pickups for week 3, if your league is designed that way.IMO, I feel that there's ZERO chance this game will not be played somewhere, somehow this week. When Katrina hit New Orleans they didn't postpone their game, it ws simply moved to Giants stadium and treated like a Saints home game. Yikes!!!!Also, two NFL franchises in the 'general' area of Houston, Atlanta and New Orleans (irony anyone?) are on the road this weekend. It would surprise me to see if the NFL doesn't try to one of these locations. San Antonio is a great suggestion, too, as this was the foster home of the Saints after Katrina.In the end, I bet this will be much ado about nothing for fantasy football. I just hope loses in the Houston area are as minimal as possible.

Does that mean I can take my fantasy credit and cash it at the Fantasy Strip Club?I heard if it's cancelled you can apply for fantasy credits on fema's website.
exactly what I already posted only problem is teams who have Balt defense and Kris Brown and don't have backups. What thenI'm just going with the sub route. If they start a BAL or HOU player, they can announce a sub that will be switched in if the game isn't played.
That's why my opinion was that everyone should just treat it as a player that's going to be a GTD with injury until after the NFL makes their announcement.exactly what I already posted only problem is teams who have Balt defense and Kris Brown and don't have backups.
