What did it get changed to?PSA - if you beat a Zeke owner by a close margin (or lost if you own him) check your lineup. They just reversed a fumble he had.
I just got stat corrected out of a final
How does the NFL decide on which of their numerous bad calls get changed? If he fumbled and the colts returned it for a touchdown would they still have changed it? I know this is been going on forever, but I’ve never really thought about it much but look into it.
I'm pretty sure official NFL people re-watch the games and correct stats/calls. Mostly yardage
If it had been returned for a touchdown or if that play would have happened on a down other than 4th (or if it had gained the necessary yardage for a first) then there probably would have been a more conclusive ruling on the field by the refs/scoring officials. And if it was ruled a fumble recovery it would have been looked at by the booth and they wold have ruled Zeke down having recovered the ball himself. Maybe the scorer at the game was thrown off by the Colts leaving the pile with the ball and then getting the ball the next play (since it was 4th).
I've mentioned this in another stat correction thread. I remember in 2016 TJ Yeldon (I think- it was some JAX RB) had a stat correction that added like 7 yards. This was week 15. The stat correction came Thursday or Friday.
Meaning what? I'm the commish and my opponent that beat me actually told me about it. I'd win by .02
I've never commished @cbs. Is there a setting for stat corrections?
Right I guess it was never actually ruled a fumble by the officials and just given as a turnover on downs
It's never really came up, I think CBS just auto does it and nobody pays attention, However @Dr. Dan mentioned CBS will change it.
Dude, that sucks.
I think it was the same play. I'm pretty sure that if the QB fumbles on a dropback it automatically counts as a sack, whether or not he gets brought to the ground (or even touched; as I understand it, a DL could swipe the ball out of the QB's hands and it would still count as a sack).
This is correct. Anytime a QB fumbles on a drop back it is considered a sack if the fumble was forced by the defense. So the INT (no sack) being changed to a fumble (sack and fumble) was probably worse for you in the long run.
In a league where INTs and fumbles are both -2, that's correct. But in @FreeBaGeL's case the fumble was -1, so sack + fumble = INT = -2.
Nope my fantasy league (MFL) updated it about an hour ago. Got the email at 9:30 central time. My co-worker went from winning to losing due to a couple of stats changes.
Ok so now every single major site has auto-updated this - Espn, Yahoo, MFL, NFL.com and CBS says "the legal team is deciding if they want to make the change or not"
That's ridiculous. CBS charges so much, I would dump them over something like this.
I agree. Would be so much easier if they just auto-updated it like every other site, but they are saying they can't - so a tech will have to do it. The Zeke correction is on the stat page.
the less i have to manually edit the better.... major fantasy sites should be correcting this automatically. espn updated their site this morning.
ESPN, NFL, Yahoo, MFL - all updated this AM automatically. CBS charges $150 and makes the commish open up all these tickets all the time!
This. Been using CBS as a host for well over 10 years now and they do not do stat corrections. Everything is locked final at 9am est Tuesday. Not sure why free leagues at ESPN, Yahoo, etc. can figure out how to apply them and pay for league like CBS cannot. I got screwed by an MJD fumble reversal back in 2008 that still haunts me to this day. bah.
Because that requires you as a Commish to monitor every single minor stat change to then make all the corrections. If the site does it on it's own you don't have to be responsible for finding every little change. The site should do it if you want late week stat corrections to be the norm.
Seems like it got too far this week for them to do it auto. Last week they changed Lamar Jacksons' rush yards 4 yards the day after.
Not really. Read my post. It's up to the person that the stat change affected to come to me. I don't do anything unless there is a stat change brought to my attention and MFL hasn't fixed it. In 11 years I have done this 0 times.
If MFL is not set up to auto correct the stat changes then it won't make any changes. You can set it up either way. If your league is fine with the unofficial stats as being final (I have no issue with this being the case and understand wanting the games to be final right away) then no change needs to be made. However, leaving the stat changes up to somebody pointing them out is an inconsistent way to run a league. Either all the scoring changes are implemented or none of them. Don't go part way when it is simple to have the website do the changes for you (if that is the way the league wants it scored).Jello_Biafra said:
You know, I don't even know if I have my leagues set up to auto correct or not. It's one of those things that just hasn't affected any games. Reading your post has me thinking I should check on that. I put that in the bylaws because I figured the only stat corrections needed would be if it changed the outcome of a game. I'll address this in the offseason with my leagues.
CBS did a change earlier this season, and I've seen them adjust DST scores a few hours to the next day after a game was played. I recall Gronk fumbled a catch, and for some reason it got changed to an INT on Brady by the next morning., which was a Monday. I was playing against Gronk, plus I watched the game on TV and saw the play myself. It looked like a fumble to me. It wound up not making a difference really in my game, but I'm sure it did in others.
CBS changed Lamar Jackson's rushing yards last week a day later. Seems like this week they are just playing a PR move and not changing Zeke's stats.
Pretty much any site will make a change on a Monday since the week isn't even really over until after MNF.
