Gore's Td tonight (1 Viewer)

My league has the FTD setting turned on in ESPN, and it's still not crediting that TD to Gore. Anyone else on ESPN seeing this be the case?

 
CBS Sportsline is giving San Fran's defense credit for a 3 yard fumble return TD.
Now that's just stupid. No change of possession occurred and the defense wasn't on the field. I would be really pissssed if that held and caused me to lose a game (it didn't). Not in the spirit of the game.
 
My MFL league hasn't given anyone credit for it yet. I presume Gore will get the credit when the stats get corrected on Wednesday.

 
My MFL league has scored this as a TD for Gore, as "1 Offensive Fumble Recovery TDs"

My ESPN league (which has "Fumble Recovered for TD (FTD)" set to 6) also corrected the stat and awarded the TD to Gore.

Actually it make sense to me. With a lose ball, Kapernick lost control and is no longer the offensive player in possession. Technically at that point, both teams become "special teams units" until new possession after the whistle can be determined. What if Alex Boone got the ball? How would you record the score? IMHO, I think the spirit of the ruling by fantasy sites reflects very much how a punt works. The kicking team is still considered the offense, even in a punt formation. Once the ball is in the air, neither side has possession of the football, the kicking team loses it's offensive status. Both are ST units though the end of the play, even if one team scores. The one instance I can see Gore being individually credited is in a league where points are distributed for the full 22 positions on the roster. That way there is a scoring category for an Alex Boone if he ended up with the ball and not just a skill player.
:lmao: And if Kaep recovers his own fumble for a TD, you'd still consider it a special teams score, right?

This is wrong on so many levels. You should give back the keys to this alias because you're tainting a once-proud username.Anyway.....1. it's NOT a Special Teams play. (By rule, it only becomes a Special Teams play when a ball is kicked past the line of scrimmage.)2. possession did NOT change. (By rule, possession does not change until the defense takes control of the ball.)3. if Alex Boone had recovered the fumble, then it would have been scored the same as when Gore did ("Offensive Fumble Recovery TD"). Boone would be treated no differently than a backup tight end or any other offensive player who isn't rostered in fantasy leagues.

Dude's head would explode if he was playing FF when the Keenan McCardell play happened.http://apps.footballguys.com/04davies_mccardelltd.cfmhttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200310060tam.htm

Unless your league has setup the scoring category for an Offensive Fumble Recovery TD, it won't be scored.
Thanks for the heads up, I thought something was screwy. I just checked our league scoring configuration and you are correct. I notified the commish and hopefully he will add the correct parameter.Thanks again.
