NFL Schedule Change for Baltimore-Houston Game

This weekend's game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans has been postponed until Week 10, and therefore the Ravens and Texans have a BYE this week. Please be sure to check your team's starting lineup and take appropriate measures to submit a lineup without any Raven or Texan players for Week #2!

The NFL decided on Saturday evening at about 6:30pm ET, that the game this weekend will be postponed. Therefore, we have updated the NFL schedule for your fantasy league to reflect the official changes from the NFL. The Texans and Ravens now have a BYE this week.

Here is the full story from the NFL:

Because of extensive damage at Reliant Stadium and the devastation in Houston and the surrounding areas caused by Hurricane Ike, the Houston Texans' home game against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend has been rescheduled for Sunday, Nov. 9 (1 p.m. ET) at Reliant Stadium.

Short notice made it logistically impossible to play this week at alternate sites. The change in dates also affects the Cincinnati Bengals' bye week schedule.

The regular-season schedule for the Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals has been changed as a result of this weekend's postponement. The changes for these three teams are as follows:

The Houston Texans' bye has been changed from Week #8 to Week #2

The Texans' next two games will take place as scheduled on the road -- Sunday, Sept. 21 against the Tennessee Titans at LP Field and Sunday, Sept. 28 against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

The Baltimore Ravens' bye has been changed from Week #10 to Week #2

The Cincinnati Bengals' bye has been changed from Week #8 to Week #10

The Texans' home game against the Cincinnati Bengals originally scheduled for Week #10 has been rescheduled for Week #8

Our league schedule has been modified to conform with the postponement of the Baltimore-Houston game.

Baltimore and Houston are both on bye and will not play this weekend.

The doubleheader games involving Houston v. Green Bay and Washington v. Baltimore have been moved to the first available date which is week four.

Houston v. Cincinnati has been rescheduled for Week 8.

Baltimore v. Houston has been rescheduled for Week 10.

Cincinnati has a bye on Week 10.

Only one team is affected by a QB being on bye this weekend. That is the Dallas Cowboys (my team). Rules state that if a team has a TMQB on bye, that positions scoring is to be determined by taking the last two weeks of scores and dividing by two to come up with the average. Since we don't have two weeks worth of scores to determine the average, the TMQB score from only last weeks game will be used.

No, but Matt Shaub sure did pick up a bunch of garbage time points last week.
