Question: Could the NFL add Wednesday Night Football while eliminating short-rest weeks?
Answer: Yes.
Explanation: This isn't fantasy research, but it does have fantasy implications. Once each season since 2017, we beat the same drum to anyone who will listen. Short-rest weeks wreak havoc on players' health and availability. They are unnecessary and avoidable. Note that the schedule soon will be updated to reflect the NFL's new 17-game / 18-week schedule.
Why This Matters: A few scheduling changes could generate a win-win-win-win for fantasy managers, players, owners, and NFL executives--not to mention football fans looking for something to do on Wednesday nights.
