Players sit often when the playoffs are set. I thought this was a well-known thing.

I've played in a bunch of leagues and the latest one went to week 16 (back on the old 17 week schedule).

And you play in leagues that don't play past Week 15? The second to last week of the season is pretty much considered Championship weekend across the entire community.

Where did I say we didn't play past week 14?

Ahh, you ninja changed the post.

In my dynasty league championship, 1 team has Josh Allen, and is down 1.6 points to a team that has Joe Burrow. Obviously the guy with Burrow was in the lead when the game was stopped, but the rolled back points to zero today on MFL's site so he's back to being behind. There is $1800 on the line. The commish is proposing to just give each team the points that the players get in Week 18. Glad I'm not commish for this one.

That’s what we are doing in 1 of my dynasty leagues, just going to use week 18 points instead of Monday’s, 1st place $600. In my other dynasty league, 1st and 2nd just agreed to split pot, pretty even going into Monday’s game, both teams had a QB and WR to go. Team leading by 5 points going into that game is this year’s champion. We play on MFL and that site has already finalized the week with no points at all for Cinn/Buff players.

I just find that solution nonsensical.

Week 18 is totally different matchups. The only way it makes sense to give the Bengals/Bills players points if they resume the game at some point.

Anything else is just trying way too hard to fix something that can't be fixed.

It's unfortunate, and it's not "fair", but this is part of the game. Coming up with more unfair ways to try to fix it doesn't make sense.

Nothing is going to fix it, but if the owners who are playing in the championship agreed on this, then I don’t see an issue. If the owners didn’t agree we wouldn’t have went this route, we would have did what the MFL hosting site did which was give the team who was winning prior to the Monday night’s game the championship. The owner who was leading and would have been handed 1st place, didn’t want to win that way.

Ok, that's fair. If both owners agreed, that's on them.

It's just weird that people "don't want to win that way".

For instance, my opponent wasn't going to let me wait till week 18 when Hurts is back. He was perfectly fine "winning that way".

Guys go down in championship games every year and give you a dud. We had to deal with COVID in fantasy and people accepted those wins.

Week 15 OR 16.

(based on the old 17 week schedule)

Okay, Week 16 from 2020 and earlier would make sense. Just your original post made it sound like currently scheduling games past Week 15 or 16 was a bad idea when there are 18 weeks. All good though if what you really meant was only past Week 16 if the year is 2020 or earlier.

I still think of stuff on the old format.

Old age and all.

I still remember 94' when they had a 18 week schedule, and gave every team 2 bye weeks. I'm shocked they don't do that now because it would give the NFL viewers.

I won a 10 team league last week. Thank goodness we don't have this mess to deal with.

Cincy and Buffalo have heavy fantasy rosters.

Congrats. Yeah I'm glad in the two leagues I commish none of the outcomes were affected even though every team had players from the game.

Nice.


When guys are saying they are giving their money back, are they talking about the entire season?

Goodness, I would just split the pot for 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th if the game was affected.

League sites seem to mostly be deciding to just award zero points to all players in the game. One site I know of is planning to actually just award whatever points were in the box score Monday night. Most of these sites are saying "but your league can change the points and do whatever you want". It's mass hysteria.

I have Higgins and Bass and am winning the championship game 451.28 to 333.20 and he has/had Josh Allen and Stephon Diggs left.

It’s pretty safe to say I’m going to win the whole thing and the guy currently in second place is fine with whatever we decide and suggested just paying me out (it’s a wta league) but I don’t want to win it that way.

I think I’m going to wait to see what happens and possibly just use stats from the final week to finalize the scores.
