well, as someone without a dog in the fight, I think he needs to make a ruling on the availability of Chase for IH (which I would hope would be given)
Yes, agreed on the very secondary comment, and I was waiting to see how the NFL will deal with the situation, but glad it isn’t going to cause an issue here.
As it now looks, my plan is to have the standings hold as they are, and to consider JChase available to IH for Week 18… but again, waiting to see how this plays out.

I think there are 2 ways it could go. Either IH has Chase available for week 18, or IH gets “the average weekly score for Chase for week 17”. I guess there is a 3rd if the NFL are dicks and say the game will be finished Wednesday in which case IH would just get Chases points like normal.
Obviously with hindsight the 2nd doesn’t change anything for IH but he loses Chase, but had IH needed say 40 points from Chase to avoid burning a booster it might have been big.
Whatever UA decides will be fine with me but I’d be fine with IH getting a 0 at WR and having Chase available for week 18.
do we have a precedent for a whole game being postponed off a week (COVID?)
what did we do then? Not fair to treat it as if the player did not play (unless there is a make-up before wk 18)
I don’t recall, there was some COVID clause in 2020 but I don’t recall what it was.
This is the closest thing to a clause I could find for COVID, from last year.
This situation seems a bit different than COVID though. I’m fine with whatever is decided, YT’s options all seem viable (average score for Chase awarded this week, 0 for WR and Chase is available week 18, if game is played tomorrow normal score). I’d probably lean towards option 1 as without the results-oriented approach of this not mattering at the bottom it would be the most fair (imo) if IH was at the bottom. But I’m also fine letting Chase be available again in week 18. Whatever our fearless moderator decides (and likely no rush since I’m not posting picks this week until the deadline).
I think with the emotional news we should all get another chance next week.

Game will not be resumed this week, per the NFL minutes ago. I am treating the situation as an “unfortunate outcome” and I am not planning to use Chase in Week 18.
Given that the BUF-CIN game will not be played this week, here’s how we’ll handle it:
Week 17 ruling: Week 17 is considered complete, and since the BUF-CIN game was not played, no player from those teams played this week either. Therefore IH still has JChase available at WR for Week 18. 
(And yes, the commissioner fully realizes that this situation had a relatively simple solution in this instance, and reserves the right to deviate from this precedent if said simple solution seems less-than-fair in future scenarios… but honestly, let’s just hope this never happens again. 
)

ItalnHalibt … and just to be out in front of this, should the BUF/CIN game be played, the results of that game will not factor into the Week 18 score (unless it becomes a Week 18 game, of course).
In other words, you will only get one game out of a player for a given week - don’t think you will be doubling up (not that I think any of our finalists were even considering it; I’m just trying to catch all the loopholes ahead of time).
Let’s get the party started…

If I were still playing my triplet would have likely been Cousins, Akers, Lamb
Alright YT I’m not going to wait you out.
QB- DWatson
RB- TEtienne
WR- ACooper
Activate my booster
Good luck everyone!
Brock Purdy
Cam Akers
George Kittle
Activate both boosters
Well Mr Irrelevant, a disgruntled RB who requested a trade and a TE wasn’t what I was planing for the final week around Thanksgiving when it looked like I had a chance to make a run but here we are.
Hoping for the same Purdy to Kittle magic the last time these 2 teams met.
And I went the whole year not using the NFL’s leading rusher, hope that doesn’t bite me in the ass.
Good luck MA & IH, though not too much luck. But hopefully no repeat of the Bills-Bengals anywhere in the NFL.

I guess I’m rooting for FG kicking contests in JAX-TEN and PIT-CLE.
Interesting both of you will be done before I have a player tip off on Sunday.
edit - oops missed that AJ Brown is also in the late window.
… and we are set for Week 18, the 2002 Survivor Fantasy Football finals!
