Last Game of the Week Rule

Today's ruling (posted on the FB group and reiterated below) will replace the Week 5 Contingency whereby teams would designate replacement players in the event the final game of the week is postponed due to COVID-19. Instead if any players in the final game of the week are in your starting lineup and the game is CANCELED after all other games that week have begun, the players in your lineup will be replaced by the highest scoring position eligible player currently on your bench.

• If you do not have a backup at the position you are stuck with a zero.
• If the game is played and your player does not play (due to injury or covid or whatever) there will be no replacement
• If a game earlier in the week is postponed or canceled, players should be treated as injured, and subbed for manually.
• If a player is dropped before the Tuesday game they do not count as a replacement; they must remain on your roster through the end of the week.

This rule will be in effect for any MNF games, except in the case that a game has been postponed to Tuesday (or even Wednesday), such as this week's PIT v BAL game. I will do my best to alert the league when a game has superseded MNF as the LAST GAME OF THE WEEK; This rule will remain in effect through the end of the season.

For instance, if Pawnee has WR Chase Claypool in the WR/TE position and the game is canceled after 8:00pm EST on Monday, then whomever scores highest on his bench (TE Tyler Higbie or WR Richie James) would automatically replace him. If Claypool was in the WR slot, it would mean only WR Richie James is an option to replace him. If Richie James and Julian Edelman were both active and on his bench, the higher scorer would be subbed in.

REMINDER: With Bye weeks over, players set to participate in a game that is PPD are now eligible for IR through the remainder of the season.
