Many fair ways to handle situations instead of giving away a year's work and attention by just shrugging their shoulders and saying "Oh Well. We'll just end it here.
Bye, Bye Yahoo! -

Yahoo didn’t handle things right. Players affected by week 17 canceled game should get to use the points from week 18. Ruined the whole season. No worth playing anymore.

As a commissioner, my goal is to update the week 17 playoff scores using week 18 results for the Bills and Bengals players. However I just tested it and while it updates the score of the match-up, it does not do a thing on the playoff page and still shows the same week 17 results.

Allow commissioner to use week 18 stats in week 17 for Bills and Bengals players. All other players keep their same scores. This allows leagues with this format to come to completion.
Most leagues use week 17 as championship because half of games are meaningless in final week. This is not the case with both Bills and Bengals, who are both playing teams fighting for seeding. They are also healthy on offense.
This will prevent having to redo the whole week for just a couple players that missed out on a key matchup

You guys should have given everyone with players in that game the "projected" points!I would have won,if you did.I shouldn't have lost just because of a stupid decision by the NFL to canceled the game last minute and you guys slated the player as being on a another bye!

1-You can change week 17 to week 18. 2- throw out week 17 and reward the championship on week 16. 3- Go by win/loss season record. Damar Hamlin may you be Blessed with a speedy recovery. God Bless you.

I am (or, I guess, was) in the same position. I rode the Bengals all year to the Championship. In addition to Bills TE Knox, in week 17 I started Burrow, Higgins, Mixon, and McPherson. Entered the MNF game down 72.90-104.30. Needing only 31.40 to win, the 5 were projected to score 65.36. The priorities here (the PLAYER, period) are understood..But it's unfair for thousands of folks in my position to be called "LOSER". Gotta be a better way.

We should have used week 18 for the Championship after week 17 was screwed up. I won't play any more Fantasy sports here after many years.

You need to rethink giving victories to teams for titles of leagues. Why am I being punished for having Bengals & Bills on my team? I didn't injure player so WHY are my teams not getting a legit chance to play for championship??? I have thousands of dollars invested in your bogus fantasy leagues and NOT happy about you saying I have a losing team when I used these players to get to title game but now they do not even count? What the **** are ya`'ll high on that made you think it is ok to just give titles to leagues away at your discretion? #BoycottYahoo

My family member who play fantasy sports was affected by that MNF game not being played. He still had 2 Bengals players left to play, and now their stats no longer count?

Since the NFL has officially declared the Bills-Bengals game as "never been played", it would only be fair to both Semifinal Fantasy Team Managers if they played each other again using Week 18's players stats since all NFL teams will be playing that week.

You should have let the final game go to the game 18 so that we all get a chance to win the money. Fantasy screwed me out of the money because you want to give the only player no points. So by canceling the game and my player didnt get his points i got screwed. So what you have done is let the other team have all the points from all there player and i am 1 player short. the most important player... the number 1 quarter back in the league. This is screwed up and is so unfair. this league sucks and i unfair.

Unrelated to the request, but just for the sake of completeness: we plan on flipping a coin to determine draft order next year.

Due to the unique situation involving Championship week this year, we've decided to declare co-champions for our 20+ year league. For record keeping purposes, it'd be nice to have an option under commissioner tools that would reflect that in our "all-time" history. (i.e. 1st, 1st, 3rd, etc..)
