Yahoo awards seattle D 2 points for fumble recovery! (1 Viewer)

How did other fantasy sites rule this play? I thought it was a forced fumble and a touchback, not a recovered fumble.

ESPN did not count this as a fumble recovery.

Edit: Looks like this is going to stay.

Hmm.. from yahoo's scoring rules

Fumbles out of boundsIf a fumbled ball goes out of bounds and remains in possession of the team fumbling, or goes over the end line for a touchback or safety, score the play as a fumble.

A fumble through a team’s own end zone for a safety is not a fumble lost. A fumble that is batted by the opposing team through its end zone for a safety is not a fumble lost.

Did Seattle recover the fumble?

 

[BobbyLayne]

hmmm

During Week 3 Matt Jones fumbled on the one foot line and it went out of bounds

Touchback, Giants ball

New York was credited with the fumble recovery

Very interesting for those going against Calvin or needing those two points as a difference maker.I'm assuming they would have had to call it on the field as a batted ball, right?

Yahoo can't just make that judgement call that it was batted or it would open up a lot of doors for making decisions on a lot of calls. (Yes, I know it was obviously batted)

Edit: oops, saw this was referring to safeties.

 

[jimmykick]

that stat correction won me my game

 

[theglorydays]

So mfl and espn didn't award seattles D 2 points

 

[Raleigh Engineers]

So mfl and espn didn't award seattles D 2 points

Neither did Sportsline. But Yahoo did award Seattle D with 2 points.

So according to this, if I'm reading it correctly, the fumble on Yahoo WILL stick. Correct?

No, Im answering the OPs question.

I believe that's correct.

Yes. I misread the safety portion at first and thought it may get reversed. But play is a fumble by Calvin for sure.

 

[NajehHejan]

Fleaflicker, as of now, has not awarded Seattle D plus 2. NFL.com only lists Seattle as having one fumble recovery, and it was by Russell Wilson, on his own fumble. Calvin gets a fumble lost but there is no fumble recovery, it is a touchback.

 

[theglorydays]

5 sites didn't give seattle 2 points, looks like yahoo is the only 1 so far

 

[B Maverick]

CBS did not award points for the play

 

[ImTheScientist]

Yahoo ftw.

 

[statman]

draft kings awarded the 2 points.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

So there's a chance yahoo stat corrects this tomorrow? Or should I just take my loss like a man?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I have a CBS league where the game was decided by less than a full point (I'm not involved), CBS did not give SEA D/ST any points for that play. Although I did lose 2 points in another CBS league for Calvin's fumble on the play.

It's a weird situation because technically SEA did not recover a fumble but they did get the ball back on a forced fumble/turn over. It doesn't see fair that they don't get the 2 points for that.

draft kings awarded the 2 points.

Probably needed by an insider....
