Where will they move the game(s) to though? They probably have to travel a decent amount to get away from the Air Quality issues, and how many NFL quality football fields are there available on very short notice?
Just play it in Dallas and Arizona in Tuesday. That shouldn’t be hard. Minor inconvenience in terms of home vs away games for Dallas and LA but that seems to me like it can be smoothed over much easier than the other options.

Arizona's stadium is being used for another event this weekend and may not be ready to host an NFL game by Tuesday. Dallas might have something going on too, Jerry World is probably a popular facility for things other than football. Plus there's the factor of taking a Home game from LAR and giving Dallas an extra one, that might not be quite the advantage it would be most years, but it still is one.

Don't think that will be that big a deal, they have worked into the frame work of their schedule starting next year, they just care about money. The game will be a prime time game wether it be tomorrow, or Tuesday. If they can play in Dallas, they probably will.

Whatever events are scheduled for Tuesday in those stadiums, if any, may have come into some money $$$$$$

That was a year before I started playing fantasy so I don't know how fantasy leagues handled it but we may see something like that this year
There was no change fantasy football-wise as the game was still in the same week.

I'd think if SF isn't an option for Sunday, they have a couple days they can play on to still be week 1.

By the way, that Vikings-Eagles game was a good one. Joe Webb comes out of nowhere to play a helluva game. Never did again, but that one was solid.
I remember making a point not to miss it as a Vikes fan for life, gave a brief glimmer of hope that he could wind up being more than he wound up being :)

Surprised there isn't any more news on the Cali fires affecting the games. I guess they really are just going to play

3 Starting OL out for the Eagles. I hope Wentz gets through the game. It could be ugly.

Yeah torn on starting Minshew at 1 or risking Dak later. Probably should just go with Dak

I'd say they should probably cover Ruggs, but I'm not sure it's that easy

Dalvin Cook looking like last year. Explosive and effective. I hadn't seen that he got his new contract yesterday. Good for him.

Looks like Devontae Booker took over passing downs from Richard... Surprising!
