Looking at the schedule, maybe they move this game to wk10 when Baltimore has a bye and move wk10 game Cincy@Houston to wk 8 when they both have byes.

I am not sure what to do here in my fantasy leagues. Do I treat this as a missed games? When they do play do I count the points for the makeup game for a possible week 10 matchup? What if they make the game up in Week 17 and our playoffs are already done? This isn't good.

Thanks so much JeffG. I am not sure I would have noticed it unless ESPn did a scroll across the bottom...

I checked all the lineups for my teams and emailed those who needed to make changes. Only 3 managers
will actually need to pick up players for this weekend.

JTSerb -I think you treat it like a BYE week and deal with the fall out. I like JeffG's solution and think he
needs to contact the NFL with it!!

JT, you have to treat it as a bye week if they don't play. The game will be made up. There is a NFL conference call about it this afternoon so we will know more. At least one source in Hou has said that Reliant can't be used for several weeks and there are still talks about playing the game at another location this week. ESPN debunks that and says the game is definitely off this week.

I'm treating it like a BYE week for both BAL and HOU and have moved some players to get replacements, just in case.

Rotoworld says the NFL should announce something by tonight. They also hint at a Week 10 matchup with HOU/CIN moving their game, like JeffG.

From Rotoworld.com

Sunday's scheduled game between the Texans and Ravens has been postponed until November 9. The Ravens and Texans will take their bye this week.
According to profootballtalk.com, the Texans were unwilling to play the game in any place but Houston.

That seems fair, but the Bengals are now also affected by the situation. They'll visit the Texans on October 26 instead of taking their bye, which has been moved to November 9.
