Arnaz Battle owners received 7.5 "phantom" fantasy points in 2 of my leagues last night in which owners had him in their starting lineups.
Many of you were probably not glued to the riveting MNF classic between the 49ers and Seahawks last night. With the Hawks up 17-0 and about 3 seconds left on the clock before halftime the Niners have the ball on about their own 40. Instead of taking a knee, Alex Smith throws a long Hail Mary pass (well short of the end zone) on which Battle leaps up gets 2 hands on the ball, brings it down and clearly drops the ball as he hits the ground. The ref rules it a catch, the clock has now expired and everyone leaves the field for halftime. No need for a booth review. ESPN shows the replay once and confirms it as the most obvious missed call that you'll ever see (100% obvious). Again, no need for a booth review.
Battle gets a 45 yard catch. 4.5 pts for yards, 1 pt for 1st down reception, 2 pts for a catch > 40 yards = 7.5 pts.
Merry Christmas!
