I don't consider this the same. This MNF game was literally cancelled. Therefore it is as if the game never happened.


I agree with you. But his statement was "all non-injured players"

But would you also do the same if a game gets cancelled because weather turned so bad that the field became too dangerous to play on?

Fwiw I'm not saying that I would or wouldn't. Frankly....this is a pretty solid mental exercise that I'm enjoying. Personally, I prefer to treat each week like as an equal. Part of managing your fantasy roster is taking matchups into consideration.

Hypothetical: You started a guy last week because he was playing a dogshit defense and those points would have won you the game.....now we're taking that players week 18 points against the toughest defense in the league who has playoff implications on the line when you had a better matchup you would have obviously played.

What it really boils down to is you really need to take it on a case-by-case scenario. The only problem I have is the blanket "if you accept victory, you're a bitch" statement above. How in the actual hell is someone who was up by 90 with the opponent only having one player left a bitch by accepting victory?

Like you said it’s case by case, if you you were behind and it was a long shot to win, then you should probably concede or offer week 18 stats to count. No way should you try and declare no contest or be entitled to a split unless offered one.

If you were within an obvious range of victory I think you either see if the person wants to admit defeat or count week 18 stats. I’m not offering a split pot or co title to someone that was obviously beat.

Shitty situation and there’s no solution that’ll make everyone happy

I worded it poorly. I meant anyone who accepts a victory in a situation like this is a huge bitch:

Team A has Burrow down by 10.
Team B has nobody

Team B says, “well too bad, you get your 7pts from burrow that he scored but that’s all you get because that’s all he had when game was cancelled. I win.”
