Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted October 1, 2020 This is going to suck. We're going to put guys into our lineups and then Monday/Tuesday the Titans will have more positive tests and it will be postponed. The other thing is Tennessee isn't even together preparing for the game while Pittsburgh is. I can't imagine that's good for the titans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted October 1, 2020 Let's just plan on Monday night doubleheaders all season, even if there's not a COVID scare. And if there is--problem solved. Can we do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who want the nfl shut down to further their fear monger it and keep the gravy train going for the people making billions off COVID. Glad I’m not the only one that sees this. There have been more fudged tests than you can shake a stick at. The fear mongering is in full press mode. Hysterical headlines, body parts falling off, heads exploding, skin melting, etc. Uh huh,sure.

I thought the league policy was that if you tested positive or was near someone else who tested positive, you have to quarantine for 5 days and get 2 consecutive negative tests before resuming. I'm not positive on that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedzoneMonster 102 Posted October 1, 2020 Seems the game is scheduled for "later in the season" now. Get all PIT & TN players out of your lineups! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At a guess, I think Steelers v Titans will be rearranged for week 7, when the Titans were supposed to be on their bye. Steelers v Ravens is scheduled for week 7 currently, but as they both have their bye week 8 I reckon that game gets pushed back a week. So essentially Steelers/Titans now have their bye week 4, Ravens will have their bye week 7. Seems fairly straightforward in terms of a swap, but if it happens again it might not be. Again, just a guess but makes sense to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While weepaws is right about the bye week, at draft time this was thought to have been a good move. Draft RB's with different bye weeks to avoid what's about to happen.

Now that’s a great point, but going into this season, nothing should be a surprise, never had to play a nfl season during a mandemic. Its a tough one for me also, I have Henry on my 14 team non ppr.

Kent 228 Posted October 2, 2020 Seeing reports that two more Titans tested positive today. As an AJ Brown owner, this is real problem now if they are gonna potentially miss back to back weeks. This trickle of cases is the NFL nightmare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also have AJ, but our league allows 2 additional IR spots if your player's game gets postponed for Covid. I already picked up 2 additional WR's. Rather have AJ, but its something...

TimHauck 1,799 Posted October 7, 2020 I mean this is basically what happened with the Marlins and now they’re in the playoffs. I’m not overly concerned just yet. I could see them reducing the # of games or something though, maybe giving every team 2 bye weeks or something like that, which shouldn’t have a huge impact on FF.

My first thought was they could add in a second and maybe third BYE week for all teams. I don't see the season being canceled or a big impact on FF. You would move playoffs one week if the season is extended one week. The biggest impact will be the "sky is falling" online reactions for positive tests.
