2nd game start times shifted to 4:25     -- Fri Jun 29 3:30 pm --

NFL pushes game times back to avoid overlap
Tim Tebow was leading the Broncos on yet another improbable last-minute comeback, and fans in New York, Dallas and other football-mad markets didn't get to see the end. The NFL announced a scheduling change Thursday aimed at preventing such moments. The league is shifting the start time of the second game of its Sunday TV doubleheaders by 10 minutes to ensure fewer fans miss any of the action on the field. The late afternoon matchups on CBS and Fox will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET instead of 4:15. Late games not on that week's doubleheader network will still start at 4:05. (ESPN)

FF Today's Take: The later start times will give fantasy owners a little more time to select their starting players scheduled to start in the second group of games on Sundays in 2012.
