Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2023 9:13 am
The NFL made its decision last night to fully cancel the Buffalo-Cincinnati Monday Night Game and to remove all stats from that game. They have decided not to resume this game and both teams will finish the year with 16 games, not 17.
Here's their official statement:

As we stated on Wednesday, we HAVE to mirror the NFL's stats for the first 17 weeks of the NFL season. As a result, all stats from the Monday Night Game have been removed and all NFFC leagues are NOW FINAL.
We feel terrible for everyone who had Bengals and Bills players going on Monday Night, but we all have to understand what happened to Damar Hamlin and how the NFL came to their decision. None of us can like it. Certainly fantasy players don't like it. Certainly the Bengals don't like it. And if the Bills lose the first round bye, they won't like it.
But the NFL made this decision and we all have to move forward with it. At the end of the day, all four industry national championships are scoring this game the same way, even though two of them came to this conclusion in different ways. Nobody is giving stats to Bengals and Bills players in any of these contests and it's a bad beat for everyone who still had those players going that night.
The good news: The prognosis for Damar Hamlin is improving with each passing minute. That's the good news. This was a freak and unfortunate injury that almost cost him his life and thanks to the doctors and first responders there's a good chance that he will recover fully. Let's keep sight of that when complaining about what we lost. He almost lost his LIFE.
We will process all payments today and you'll find them on your Player Accounts today. NFFC leagues are NOW FINAL. Congrats to all of the winners and our apologies to those owners who lost out by the NFL's decision.
