Uh oh. Who's next? They always come in 3's. Keith McCants died yesterday. Quentin GriffiTH?

Hope everyone started the Titans defense. :thumbup:

LOL Yeah, the guy with Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chris Redman and 4 kickers should be rewarded for building a solid team.

Yet another reason why Yahoo sucks. I can't wait for GoogleFootball! :winner:

That's because: 1. all NFL teams in the same division play an equal number of games against each other. 2. in the NFL, head-to-head victories are a valid method of determining one squad's overall superiority. That's not necessarily the case in fantasy football. (Unless you believe that a 85-39 win is a more valid example of a team's strength than a 144-145 loss.)

Guess how many 300 yard games Troy Aikman had in his career? 13. Thirteen. Brady is at 30 already and he still has several years left in his career. No comparison.

By the NFL's definition, it becomes a "special teams" play the moment a ball is kicked. If you put Kordell Stewart at QB and he punts the ball, then he's nothing more than a punter (and the play counts only as a Special Teams play). If you put Kordell Stewart at punter and have him throw a pass, then he's considered a quarterback (and the play counts as a regular offensive play).

It was Brad Johnson and he was given credit for BOTH a passing TD and a receiving TD.

It's an official ruling from the worst league management site in existence. The ONLY reason CBS is making this ruling is because they were one of the few services back in 2003 to credit the Keenan McCardell TD to the D/ST. They were ridiculed back then, so they're doubling-down now. CBS is acting like it's following the NFL rules when it says "By rule, when there is a change of possession via turnover, the offensive team becomes the defense and the defense becomes the offense." BUT THEN THEY BLATANTLY IGNORE THE REST OF THAT SAME RULE!!! "Team A is the offense when the down starts, but becomes the defense if and when B secures possession during the down, and vice versa for each change of possession." That's straight from the NFL rulebook, folks. According to the NFL, Meachem was on offense, then defense, then offense again. CBS (and other league services) are using the first part of that rule, but ignoring the second part. The NFL considers Meachem's TD to be an offensive TD. That should be the end of it.

And once the Skins fumbled, the Skins became the defense....

You shouldn't even be allowed to enter this thread if you think "rushing yards" were involved. This isn't novice-level fantasy discussion.

That's like saying "scoring on an opponent is an offensive play".

Not in most fantasy leagues. Look up Hunter Smith's fake punt TD from earlier this year (Week 1 or 2). Very few leagues gave 6 points to the Redskins D on that play.

If you check NFL.com tomorrow, you'll see that this TD will NOT be credited to the Saints defense. All defense related statistics (such as forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, defensive TDs, etc.) will NOT include Meachem's fumble recovery. Meachem's fumble recovery will NOT appear in the regular defensive or special teams stats of the box score, and the box score (or at least the official Gamebook) will treat it as an Offensive TD.
