Vikings have a BYE Next week so the short week won't come into play for them in week 7. Falcons play Sunday week 7 and then Monday Week 8 so I think that works.
Still waiting for confirmation

"out of an abundance of caution" is a phrase that I would be cool if I never read or heard it again.

Out of an abundance of caution following one new positive test, we have made the decision to stop all in-person work at IBM Performance Field Thursday and will conduct all operations virtually."

what will be really off the rails, is if they add games to the end of the year. The league has said a week 18 (and beyond) is possible. That would muck up everything fantasy-wise.

As long a decision happens prior to week 14 (dependingo n your league) then all the sites can adjust when their playoffs start. That's basically the big cutoff for fantasy being "fair".

how would playoffs be "adjusted"? there might only be one week 18 game or several? you could lose in week 15 or 16 because those games are postponed. I get it that we all are playing by with the same risks, but I wouldn't call it totally fair.

we are going to move the game to Tuesday night, because the ratings are really good.

Listen, I know coved isn't anything to joke about, but we know if the NFL can make a few extra million by doing this.. they might.

I didn't understand why anyone would play fantasy this year. The lack of camp and preseason combined with the possibility of the season being disrupted seems to have made it so unpredictable. None of my usual leagues found enough players (I wouldn't of played anyway).

that plus we're in the keeper league. It's even harder because of the full keeper dynamic but like you I really wanted to jam it in if possible. We're 1/3rd of the way through...getting rocky

What I've heard is if they do a week 18 it won't be for the make up games, week 17 would. Week 18 would be the full schedule of the original week 17 games.

That means every team would still play the same number of games prior to week 18. How fantasy sites adjust for that, I don't know. I guess it will depend on when a week 18 becomes official.
