NFL Fans Are Furious After Learning That Christmas Day Games Could Cost Them Their Fantasy Football League Championships

NFL fans aren’t happy after a heads-up analyst pointed out an issue that will arise for the millions of fantasy football players in their league championships.
Most fantasy football leagues wrap up in Week 17 (previously in Week 16 before the expanded schedule) since many star players are rested for the regular season finale. But with the league announcing two games for Christmas this year (it falls on a Wednesday), NFL fans who reach the finals in their fantasy football leagues will need to prepare themselves for a considerable inconvenience.
Pro Football Focus fantasy football analyst Nathan Jahnke noted that Week 17 will begin on a Wednesday because of the Christmas Day games. That means instead of waiting until Thursday, fantasy football players will have to make their start/sit calls by 1 p.m. EST on Christmas Day:
Unsurprisingly, NFL fans weren’t happy to learn about this looming dilemma:
The first Christmas Day 2024 game will see the Kansas City Chiefs visiting old friend Russell Wilson and his Pittsburgh Steelers. After that, NFL fans will be treated to a clash between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, a rematch of the 2023 AFC Divisional Round.
NFL Fans Will Get Football On Six Days Of The Week
NFL regular season campaigns traditionally have games on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. But this year, the league will feature games on every day of the week except Tuesday.
The two Christmas Day games will be played on Wednesdays. For the second straight year, there is also a Black Friday game, in which the Chiefs will play host to the AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders.
Incredibly, the Chiefs are actually scheduled to play on six of the seven days of the week. They have a Thursday nighter against the Ravens to open the season (Sept. 5), two Monday night contests (vs. the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 7 and Nov. 4, respectively) and a Saturday game against Houston on Dec. 21.
