It depends on your league rules, if you have rules separate from CBS's league rules. Otherwise, it depends on CBS's rules.How do the rules define a special teams play? There was no punt on this play. It was just a snap and a recovery. For all we know, the Texans were going to do a fake punt and throw deep. If they'd done that for a score, would it be considered a special teams play?If I were going to write a set of rules defining what constitutes a special teams play and what doesn't, a special teams play would involve an actual punt, place-kick, drop-kick, or free kick. If there's no kick, it wasn't a special teams play.But I haven't seen CBS's rules, so I don't know how they define things.
There's no official definition. The words "special teams" don't appear anywhere in the NFL rulebook.So it's up to individual fantasy leagues to define that phrase if they want.IMO, a special teams play is one that involves a free kick or a scrimmage kick. But that's just my opinion -- there's no "official" answer.Prince Myshkin said:
