Oh wow, what a week. Tennessee Titans players continue to test positive for COVID-19 and now Cam Newton and a scout QB for the Kansas City Chiefs have also tested positive. The NFL has tentatively scheduled the Chiefs-Patriots for this Tuesday, which would count towards week 4 fantasy scores. The likelihood of this game actually happening this week seems bleak at best based on reactions from insiders’ reports of player reactions that would be involved. Some players simply don’t feel comfortable. Crippling the spread of this infectious illness throughout the NFL should be the first priority. I’m not an expert, but complete postponement of this game seems like a no-brainer. The NFL should also take into account that if the Kansas City Chiefs are forced to play on Tuesday, they have to play 3 games in 10 days. That seems… dangerous.
In other news, it’s an absolute miracle that nobody on the Minnesota Vikings hasn’t tested positive for Covid-19 after playing against the Titans in week 3. The Vikings’ players and staff have been tested every day this week and they do not have an outbreak in the organization at this point. So at least that is something positive to cling to as the NFL tries to combat the inevitable.
