fantasy impact of coronavirus

It looks like the 49ers will play without their starting WRs Thursday night. Kendrick Bourne tested positive and Brandon Aiyuk was ruled to have close contact to him. Mullens will have a tough time finding dependable targets in this game.

So I guess I don't understand why the NFL moved games around early, ie Titans and Pats, but the Niners and GB are stuck with playng extremely short of players?

Pats game was moved because it was a QB that tested positive (Newton). Titans were moved because of the shear number of players that tested positive. Niners don't have Aiyuk and Bourne (deebo was already going to be out), GB doesn't have Williams and Dillon. Both Niners and Packers are capable of playing with the players they have. Depth is important not just in fantasy.

I'm also under the assumption that they don't want to lose another Thursday night game again.

OK, so why is Detroit playing as scheduled without their QB?

Stafford is going to play, wasn’t in question. He was a close contact and with 5 days of negative tests he’ll be eligible to play. The close contacts in GB and SF won’t have 5 days to get cleared since the game is on Thursday

1) Stafford will play unless he tests positive
2) pretty sure newton tested positive much later in the week

I thought he did test positive, hard to keep track of

1. No he was just in close contact with someone who did test positive so he was put on the list.
2. Newton tested positive on a friday

So it looks like punishment is coming for the Saints, similar to what happened to Oakland. Both deserve it.

I want to circle back to Tennessee though. Does anyone know how they wriggled out of getting any punishment whatsoever? They were definitely the worst known offenders and it seemed like that story just got buried and eventually forgotten.

According to the NFL, they found it was more negligence than intent to break the rules. My guess, it was the first true Covid issue and they weren't sure how to punish the titans for a first offense. Now we've had teams on their second, third, and fourth violations despite multiple warnings across the league. It's easier for the NFL to punish these offenders now.

A lot of the Raiders defense is on the COVID list due to being close contacts to a player who tested positive. They could play against KC this weekend if they have negative tests up until game day. But your defense not being able to practice before you play KC? Not good. Obviously doesn't change who you're starting on KC but they could have an easier game

Everyone aboard the Gus Bus!! Ingram and Dobbins both tested positive. Definitely out week 12 (Thursday vs. pit) likely out week 13.
