    Fantasy football leagues on all platforms had some difficult decisions to make with the Monday night game of Bills vs Bengals being suspended and then cancelled

    what did your league do? What is the way you felt it should be handled?

    In my dads 2k online fantasy league, they gave players from both teams 0 points. He had Burrow and Higgins, and Burrow started out good with a td then leading them back down the field. Getting 0 points especially from Burrow cost him the loss.

    I said I’d probably be pissed getting 0 points for the 2k fee or at least count his td, but they never had a situation quite like that. So idk how you would go about it. The game couldn’t continue though just for fantasy and sports gamblers. A risk you take in fantasy or player props.

    I am in 10 fantasy leagues all of which are pretty high stakes. Many of them that had teams playing for payouts with players involved in that game weren’t close enough to warrant anything needing to be done. If they were, it was first just left to the managers involved to figure out amongst themselves. Many pots were just split evenly and it never really escalated beyond that. I think that is the best way to handle it.

    The dumbest outcome happened in one of my home leagues where a guy lost by literally .1 and had Jamarr Chase, so he would have needed one catch from him to win. For some reason he just accepted the loss which literally cost him over a grand.
