Trotter was given a FF despite the fact that SD recovered it.....Am I nuts or don't we only get 2 points for that if the D ends up recovering it???? I was #1 in the league playing #2 and I lost by .5 points! We have been using sportsline for 2 years and I swear we only get the 2 if the D recovers......

I did check GAMEBOOK....the only FF he had was recovered by SD...correct me if I'm wrong but you only get fantasy points for FFs if the defense recovers.

A FF is a FF and has nothing to do with who recovers - essentially if it leaves a player's possession it is scored as a FF. For instance, if I player pokes the ball loose and it goes out of bounds? Its still a FF.

OK, but I'm not asking about what counts as a FF in the real stats and game.....my issue is the fantasy scoring of an FF.....for the past 2 years I swear we only got 2 pts if the D recovered the FF. Have I been wrong for 2 years.....my commissioner agrees, but says we have to go with what the site gives us for points! I lost by half a ####### point to lose 1st place.

Did he force a fumble? Yes.I bet if the RB who fumbled it, recovered it, then it wouldn't be considered a forced fumble. If someone else recovers it - either offense or defense - then Trotter gets credit for a forced fumble.

I appreciate the reply but I'm looking for a more "for a fact, this is how it works" answer....With your logic I could say "did the rb fumble? yes. so it's -2 regardless of who recovers." That's not how it works.

Obviously the NFL disagrees with you. He was credited with a forced fumble. What more "fact" do you need? I really don't think you're going to hear the answer you WANT to hear.

Check your CBS Sportsline Rules. If it says 2 points for all forced fumbles, the scoring was correct. But if your Rules state that only get FF points if it is a FFL, then it may be incorrect. Every league I've ever been in (including CBS Sportsline) - a FF is a FF, no matter who recovered. You can also look back at other games and other weeks, a FF recovered by the offense is not a strange occurrence, so I'm sure you can find if points have awarded in some of your contests this year.As far as the RB analogy, Rules usually distinguish between a Fumble and a Fumble Lost (and only subtract points for a fumble lost).

 

[Ozymandias]

I checked the box scores at NFL.com and more often than not, Forced Fumbles tends to exceed the number of fumbles lost. That would indicate that FF are independent of whether the ball is recovered by either team.Of course, not every fumble is a FF. Sometimes someone just drops the ball, and therefore no one is credited with a FF.

Get over it. Would you feel better if you lost by 50 instead? A loss is a loss is a loss. This one week won't make or break your team. Quit the moaning and accept that you lost and start looking at next week.
