sksmith Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Just curious if anyone is in a league where points are given to the D/ST for a turnover on downs? It is not in any of my 3 leagues...I kind of think it should be, similar to a fumble recovery (2pts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It's not considered a turnover by the NFL, why should it be scored as one in fantasy football? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sksmith Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Odd, didn't know that...they even call it "turnover on downs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Odd, didn't know that...they even call it "turnover on downs" Kind of like a "team rebound" in basketball (where the ball goes out of bounds after a missed shot). No one to credit the rebound to...I think the NBA actually keeps this stat, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sksmith Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Interesting...I think I'll count that as my one new thing learned of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I kinda feel like that would be one of those 'pure luck' stats as going for it on 4th down is almost entirely situational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sksmith Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah, probably...was just looking at it from the very specific 4th and Inches/goal-line stand aspect in terms of whether it should be worth fantasy points or not...plus the whole "turnover on downs" label was what prompted the inquiry I have friends in other leagues that reward points rather frivolously, IMO (to the tune of a 300+ pt day not being unheard of) and wouldn't have been surprised had someone responded with a "yeah, we get 4pts!"...it's interesting to see what all formats consider fantasy point worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosGatosEnFuegos Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My local gives DEFs one point per punt. But we don't award a point for turnover on downs. I've brought this up before but for some reason we haven't changed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've brought this up before but for some reason we haven't changed it. I've never heard of either, but if you give a point per punt, you should definitely give something for a turnover on downs. Not sure if NFL keeps stats on this, though, which might make it difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Finding a site that allows you to set up a scoring rule for some of these things is the problem. Sure you may want to score that, but unless somebody is going to do it manually you may be out of luck. I was wondering the other day if any leagues who deduct for turnovers also deduct more of the turnover is returned for a TD. Then I thought, would that stat exist, or be a scoring category (offensive player, fumbles or is interecepted and returned for a TD). Based on what I know about our site (CBS) I didn't think it was possible. But now that I look I do see that, under passing stats "(PaIntTD) Passing Interception for TD" but don't see something for fumble TD return. But there are quite a few interesting categories that can be scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
