Wolverines Fan Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Per rotoworld: The NFL has deducted 16 yards from Dez Bryant's Week 12 receiving total. Bryant made a reception in the fourth quarter, fumbled the ball backwards, and is now "credited" with an 11-yard loss. The Cowboys recovered the fumble, but this is a situation that could change the outcome of some Week 12 fantasy head-to-head games. Dez finishes with nine grabs for 86 yards instead of 102. It could be particularly painful for fantasy leaguers in 100-plus-yard bonus scoring leagues. Tony Romo's passing yardage total has also dropped from 250 to 234, because all in all the Cowboys lost 16 yards on the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcher Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If CBS follows through with scoring changes, I will go from a tie game to a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If the NFL did the change it most likely was the official scorers at the game...that does't mean that it might not be adjusted again by ELIAS as they are the ones that do the stat changes for the NFL. Those changes are published on Thursdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hmmm I think I'm in decent shape but having romo as well and the bonus this is like a 6 pt hit...as that play happened I was curious how it would come up as I had my cbs live tracker on an was happy I didn't see the loss of yards, so much for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown11 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So what are the odds Elias overturns this? I've never seen this happen before (not to mention this decision will knock me out of playoff contention). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 So what are the odds Elias overturns this? I've never seen this happen before (not to mention this decision will knock me out of playoff contention). It depends on what actually happened and how it was scored initially. Elias will make sure that it is scored correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostack Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 How does a fumble deduct from receiving yards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh2 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If it was a fumble, it should have no effect on Romo at all, completed catch then Bryant fumbles the ball, otherwise it is an incomplete pass or it is a lateral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injendsm Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm currently up 1.5 points but I started Romo and Dez. Needless to say, if this correction goes through, I will not be a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorcher Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I LOST BECAUSE OF THIS! I WAS TIED 49-49 THEN THEY DEDUCTED IT! Has it been deducted in your league scoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrusty17 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 i have to win this week to get into the playoffs as the 8 seed this week because of the Dez Bryant situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Cbs has been updated I have been dinged 6 points in my scoring for this. Still won but am kinda pissed since I'm in a tight playoff race and total points is the tie breaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 This came out before the game last night and MFL had it updated before the game started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If it was a fumble, it should have no effect on Romo at all, completed catch then Bryant fumbles the ball, otherwise it is an incomplete pass or it is a lateral. My guess is that it is the same as if the ball is fumbled and another offensive player picks it up and advances it. Pretty sure that in that case those yards count as a continuation of the pass play. So if Dez fumbled and say Witten picks it up, any yardage gained counts as passing/receiving yards. Therefore if he fumbles it backwards out of bounds and yards are deducted from the play that deducts from the passing yards. Otherwise you need some other category, or treat them as rushing yards. Simply put, if it affects Dez' receiving yards it has to affect Romo's passing yards (the two go together, total of player receiving yards has to equal total of player passing yads). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It is a good call, unfortunately for me. The Cowboys retained possession of the ball on the play so the loss of 16 years has to be accounted for in the individual stats as well as the team stats. Sucks but does not seem complicated to me.

BA Baracus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 ESPN has already updated their scoring for both Dez and Romo. I managed to hang onto a victory by 0.8 points... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
