NFL Week 4- The Adam Vinatieri Edition

I think it's one player and two staff for a total of three. At any rate, the number is growing.

 

Patriots-Chiefs now planned for Monday, per Dianna Russini of ESPN.

 

And the Saints and Lions are on the clock.

Saints fullback Michael Burton, who traveled to Michigan, tests positive for coronavirus: report

 

At what point do they just call this week?

 

Honestly, I don't know if you can ever just call off a week at this point -- it has to be two weeks at a minimum to reset everyone. If you call this week off, then the opponents next week for the Titans, Patriots, Saints, next team to pop a test, get stuck waiting around. Everyone should play as scheduled as they can, if they can and then make a game up when the can along they way. If Jacksonville and Cincinnati don't end up playing, no one will care in the long run.

 

I have a feeling the playoff dates and Super Bowl date is written in pencil and more weeks will be added to the season, if needed, to get these games in.

 

So... will KC Pats count for this week’s fantasy games?

I sorta need to know in the next few hours.

 

Yeah, same. I know it's meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but I'm benching my Chiefs because I don't have any faith they're actually going to play tomorrow and I don't want to get stuck with zeros at those positions.

 

And when the owners of those two teams balk at paying players for not playing, I’m sure the players will understand.

 

Test was a false-positive. Lions-Saints back on

Sources: Retest of Saint negative; game still on

 

I got an email from Yahoo that said unless the NFL treats this as a bye week, it will still count for this week. If they indeed are playing Monday, it should be fine.
