I'm hoping they play the game Monday or Tuesday. Yahoo says they will count if for this week if they do. I and other managers will need to drop multiple players if they don't. The one IR spot helps but it doesn't do enough if you need to drop 2-3 players. I have no idea what the fair thing to do is. I think our setup is fair to all teams because you don't know who will be affected but it sucks.

If the game is postponed longer, it's going to really mess with the NFL schedule.

If this is the way the NFL is going to work this season, we're going to be hitting the waiver wire hard.

Adam Gase is >< this close to being fired. If the Jets lose tomorrow, he's gonzo. Thank goodness the Bears didn't sign him as head coach.

Of course the week my guys go off I'm playing against the lowest scoring team

Yeah, I’m going to be able to replace and make available Henry and Conner.
Are we supposed to leave them in and hope they play Monday or Tuesday?
Guess I will chalk this up as lost season if this continues.

 

[Sprayin]

This was the major risk with playing this season. If one game tanks your season, how were you even planning on handling BYE weeks?

Bye‘s only last a week. If what you say (1 week) is the case then I agree with you, managing as Bye won’t be horrible.
What I was trying to convey is how do you know if you should play PPD game players or not. It looks like they can count based on when the game is played. If they are played relatively quickly, their scores count but if it’s postponed long term they won’t count. It would suck if they say they will play short term and you leave them in, then they decide to postpone long term your screwed.

 

[Flyn]

CBS has breaking news on more positive covid results for the Titans and discusses ideas for handling FF covid.

 

[Sprayin]

I don't have any players on either team. If I did, I'd bench them this week and monitor going forward.

 

[Flyn]

That's what I did until the game was turned into bye weeks. Now it's just like a regular bye for the teams.

 

[Tight Lines]

Yeah, looks like it’s PP so they are on bye. That makes things a little easier. From what I read they weren’t going to make that decision till Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah, just an unplanned Bye week But that’s better then waiting to PP.

 

[Sprayin]

Can't wait til this happens to 6 teams in a few weeks.

 

[Flyn]

Should make for an interesting FF season. Managers may have 3rd stringers starting. We may see some big names on the waiver wire some weeks.

... Or a vaccine comes out, the NFL takes it and covid goes away.

 

[Shawn1112]

Didn’t we do a IR spot for players with Covid, or we just talking about it?
If we did, I’m not seeing how to do it

The NFL designates COVID positive players are IR. Then you use it regularly

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, you need a player to be designated IR before they are eligible to be in the IR spot. Supposedly, the NFL names players who actually have covid IR. Non covid positive players who were in proximity to them are not IR. If a game is postponed, only the positive players are IR.

The IR spot is also available if you have a top player go on IR for an injury. No need to drop Kamara or Mahomes, for example, if they are IR for a few weeks. Once they come off IR, you need to eliminate some bench guy to make room for them.

So Henry and James Conner owners are screwed? Because they don’t have COVID afaik but the game will not be played.

I have both on another team. So I’m dead in the water.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, you will need to dump your bench players to make room for subs.

That sucks, but thanks for the explanation. I have a player from the Titans, granted I wasnt going to play him this week. But what happens if I needed too, I'd have to drop someone. Oh well, we knew the risks going in, no biggie

 

[Flyn]

Man, I hope these babies taking weeks off for hangnails are an aberration for 2020 and not the way the NFL is going. So many players out for BS injuries.

I can see myself making 50 roster moves this year. I don't usually come close to that but there are so many players available in a 10 team league.

 

[Shawn1112]

Cam now with Corona

 

[Sprayin]

Man, I was predicting 6 weeks. Might not even make it to that. Season is in jeopardy.

 

[Flyn]

It's going to be a rocky ride, little bucaroo. Do I have any Patriots/Chiefs on my team? I better check.

The waiver wire is going to be nutso this season.

 

[Sprayin]

I have mahomes, but I have a fine backup. Now they're saying it could go on Tuesday though. So maybe they'll still play?

 

[Flyn]

Like you were saying, put the suspect guys on the bench and watch the news reports closely.

At least the NFL knows they had better not screw up fantasy owners by withholding info. There's a lot of money involved with Draft Kings and sites like it as well as seasonal leagues.

 

[Flyn]

 

[Flyn]

If the tests tomorrow are all negative, the game MAY be played Monday night. Watch news reports in the morning for more info. It's a risk to keep the players in the lineup because they will test again on Monday. Any positive tests would, most likely, postpone the game.
