Does that count as a fumble lost?

Cause im ahead by 1.95 points and if it is I freakin lose by .05 damn it

I'm pretty sure that it's a fumble. Why else would they have called in a fumble into the endzone for a touchback?

Well I dont lost points for a fumble. I lost points for a lost fumble. I dont know the technicalities(sp) of that rule and fantasy football scoring

I'm in Yahoo and as of now, I don't have -2, but we'll see tomorrow with the scoring corrections.

It seems to me that it's defintely a fumble. The question is whether it's a "lost" fumble.

I could make arguments both ways: the other team didn't really recover it; on the other hand, possession changed hands.

This is one of those arcane rules that we won't know how is scored until probably tomorrow when Yahoo updates.

It's a fumble lost. Sorry.

That would surely go down in the annals of fantasy history.
Tip: If you're ahead by a small margian and your opponet has no players on MNF, bench whoever you have that is YTP. Negative points are rare, but they happen.
