Randy Moss interception? (1 Viewer)

I'm in a PPR/IDP league, things like punt return TDs have gotten receivers 6 points, but I didn't see the 5 points added to Moss' score after the interception yesterday. I also don't see anything in our rules that would really lay out whether an offensive player should get points for picks or not. :thumbup:

If the offensive player gets points for tackles after a INT, then yes, he should get the INT points.

I don't know. What kind of settings would the commissioner have to adjust for that to happen?
 
Moss should get the points. What website does your league use? I think stuff like this is automatic on Yahoo. For instance, Roddy White was credited with a tackle and a forced fumble yesterday in my Yahoo IDP league. Moss was credited with an interception and one pass defense.

I'm in a regular (non-IDP) league and we gave Moss 2 points for the INT. Seems only fair, since he'd get 6 points if he scored on a punt/kickoff/interception return.

So if someone had NE D/ST, the points were awarded twice?
That's what our one league does. It's so rare to have a wr starting and do this we look at it as a bonus.No different than the qb AND wr getting points for a TD throw :shrug:

In a league that has team defenses and special team, the interception points should go to the team defense unless the rules specifically say otherwise. For individual players it is a bit murkey and depends on the rules. We use to not allow players like William Perry to score rushing TD's.

You said the points are awarded twice...A td is worth only 6 points yet you are awarding 12 points for a TD pass.
 
In fantasy stars, Moss for a while had a negative 1 for the INT. I guess it was registering as if he had thrown an int.

But it's awarding 2 different actions, the throw and the catch. This isn't. It's rewarding the same action twice.
 
I have Moss in my IDP league and I didnt get credit. Had no idea that he caught an INT until this thread. Will find out whats the deal. Won't help my loss this week, but that's an awesome stat!

Believe I got credited with 5-6 points for the INT in my espn IDP league. Only ball he caught in 1st half... :shrug:
 
Bump.

I lost the total points crown ($150) by less than 2 points and I own Moss. Our league is a non-IDP league that awards 6 points to both the DEF/ST and the individual for return TDs. We have no specific rule for awarding points to individuals for interceptions.

Should I pursue this or just leave it alone?

Non-IDP, no case

That's a pretty long time to let an alias be dormant. If you're not going to use it, can I have it? I've always wanted a 4-digit number.

Do you get 2 points per reception? Just argue that he received a completed pass, who cares who threw it?

The case would go something like this. Our league awards individuals points when they return a punt or a kickoff for a TD. When Eddie Royal returns a punt for a TD he gets 6 points and Denver DEF/ST also gets 6 points. Since we award player points on special teams, shouldn't we be consistent and award player points in the (rare) event they occur on defense? New England DEF/ST got 2 points for the interception, Moss should also get 2 points.I'd also add that 2 owners in non-IDP leagues in this thread said they gave Moss points for the interception.

Here's the case against: the rules don't say that individual players get points for interceptions, so individual players don't get points for interceptions.Seriously, every league has scoring rules, which should render this a pretty open-and-shut case.

The reason you give Royal 6 points for a punt return TD is because you're extending the reward that he receives for accomplishing the same feat on offense.But there's no scoring category for an offensive interception (or an offensive fumble recovery, for that matter). So there's no logical need to extend that courtesy when an offensive player moves to defense or special teams.Royal gets 6 points for a TD on offense, so he should get 6 points for a TD on special teams.Moss gets 0 points for an interception (or fumble recovery) on offense, so he should get 0 points for an interception on defense.
