What an awful turn of events...

[gbpackers]

Ive never seen anything like this in fantasy football.

 

Going into Monday nights Raiders - Chargers game I was up by 13.4pts but he had Philip Rivers. I figured it was over and didnt even bother watching the game. At halftime I noticed Rivers had scored roughly 11pts, and I knew I had lost.

 

I turn the game on with about 7min to go and my opponent is up by .02 pts, so Im praying for a turnover, or somehow a screen that goes for negative yards. With about 45 seconds left in the game Rivers has not completed another pass, and ... he takes a knee and loses 2 yards rushing and I go up by .18pts. I couldnt believe that I had won on a qb taking a knee.

 

Fast forward to this morning. I log on to my fantasy team site, and low and behold a stat change. His rb LeSean McCoy got added a point for a tackle. I lost. Unbelievable.

 

Anyone have a more depressing story?

 

Or better yet, did anyone notice LeSean ACTUALLY record a tackle in that game?

I'm about certain that everyone alive has a more depressing story than thinking you won a FF game because of something as random as a QB taking a knee only to have that victory taken back because a RB made a tackle.

 

Just going out on a limb here.

I ended up on the positve side of a stat change and am trying to figure out what happened - lost by a point on Monday night in a PPR league when McFadden went off, and when results came out Tuesday morning my team had second highest point total in the league and I had lost. Then today I notice that my team is 1-0, I did win the highest point prize in week 1...and I don't know why because I have no hard copy of how scores were calculated previously.

 

It looks to me like my Lions defense got credited with 2 extra points - did they get credited for a sack after the fact somehow? Is there anyway to check this on the league site? This league is on cbssports, my first experience playing FF on that site.

I have the Lions defense on my roster, and just checked seeing that the score of my game did change, looks like an increase of 1 point. It is showing 4 sacks, no turnovers and some points for the points allowed, so it would seem that the number of sacks increased.

 

I play on CBS too, and not sure if there is any way to see what happened. I do know that on Tuesday morning (and yesterday) when looking at stuff it showed I had 69 points, now I have 70. I believe that CBS automatically updates your league with those stat corrections that come out quickly. But I know this change happened more recently (since yesterday afternoon) and I was awarded the point. I do not think the win/loss would change though, having to do it manually.

Last year Vick rushed for 100 yards (I think against the Rams) and I got a bonus which put me ahead. He then takes a knee a few times which put him under 100 yards rushing. Lost the bonus and I lost the game.

I wasnt saying "Anyone have a more depressing story" as in my story is the most depressing thing to ever happen in fantasy football, I was just simply asking a question. Thanks for your input though.

That's one reason why I don't like threshold bonuses and like to just stick to pts per yard. Sure, you would have lost something anyway on him taking a knee, but why should that one yard, between 99 and 100 mean any more than any other yard.

 

If a RB is at 98 yards and is on the one yard line with one play to go, I can assure you that they'll be more than happy with their RB finishing with only 99.

 

Obviously it's impossible to truly mirror the game with FF, but I just see no reason why you should specifically make scoring rules that have nothing to do with it.

BC,

 

Thanks for that info, was seaching online for it and couldn't find it.

Also another reason for fractional points, so that a 1-3 yard change for taking a knee doesn't mean losing a whole point. Its too bad these are even scored as negative yardage at all, would be nice to have a way to "take a knee" without it impacting any of the stats (and not just for fantasy purposes).

There's obviously an argument against it just like there's an argument against PPR and more points for longer field goals. But I like it and it's a way to juice up other positions so QBs don't outscore the other positions by 200 points.

Lighten up, Francis. This is a fantasy football website, not Dear Abby. The ONLY thing that matters here is whether you won or lost, got shiatty advice from DMD, or being able to call someone a trader joe for rooting for their fantasy team over their favorite team.

 

C'MON MAN!!!

[The Waiver Hounds]

This seems weird - is this an IDP league? And if so how in the wide wide world of sports do you get a tackle from an RB? And if it isn't IDP how in the wide wide world of sports do you get a tackle from an RB?

Yeah we have 1 IDP per team. But I wasnt aware that rbs/wrs could get a point for a tackle. Pretty stupid.

Was this part of your scoring, spelled out that offensive players get points for tackles?

 

Maybe the commish set it up that way because it was easy (all players score the same, copying settings, etc.) I've heard many people talk about knowing your rules, but those rules should be known, then scoring and other league setting done to reflect that. Not have them be at the whim of the commissioner or fantasy website settings.

 

When I read the post I thought the same thing, how/why does a RB get points for tackles?

[nelsosi]

You lost a game that you deserved to lose. Here's a kleenex.

[Big Country]

There was no official stat change for McCoy. Suggest you check other potential causes for this, such as a change in your league scoring settings giving credit for defensive stats ot offensive players, etc.

In an IDP league, I would expect ALL players to get credit for tackles/defensive plays, just as I would expect defensive players to get credit for performing an offensive play. In this case, I would assume that the McCoy tackle came on a turnover (either fumble or INT).

 

Non-IDP I would not have the same expectation for application of scoring rules.

[tazinib1]

I'm pretty sure that a QB taking a knee has been the demise of a pretty large portion of FF players.

[stethant]

I have the Lions defense on my roster, and just checked seeing that the score of my game did change, looks like an increase of 1 point. It is showing 4 sacks, no turnovers and some points for the points allowed, so it would seem that the number of sacks increased.

 

The very last play of the game was a sack that was not initially credited.

[MTSuper7]

Vick threw enough INTs that a McCoy tackle wouldn't be that surprising. And I once lost by .05 points when McNabb took a sack on a 3rd down play giving my opponent's Akers exactly the required FG distance it would take to beat me. So yeah, we all got bad beat stories.

Henry Muto just lost a game last weekend when Rivers took a knee.

[TNtitans]

A couple years ago the Philly at Minn game that was delayed due to the snow job in the dome was week 16, the fantasy superbowl. I was up by a few points going into the final Philly possession with my qb Mike Vick. I can't remember if they were behind but he got sacked and fumbled the ball on just about the last play. 68-68 tie in the championship and I lost on the tie-breaker. It was a difference of $800.
