Every week, a couple of days after all of the games are final and your fantasy scores have been calculated, the Elias Sports Bureau (which is the official statistician for the NFL) reviews all of the games on tape and sometimes issues official stat corrections if needed.</b> For example, one of the most common stat changes is when they award a sack to a defensive player that wasn't originally credited with the sack during the game. This can happen when the wrong player's number was written down as part of the official scoring during the game. Another relatively common example is when a passing play is changed to a rushing play (or vice versa) because after reviewing the tape, they determine that the pass was actually a backwards lateral instead of a forward pass.

Unfortunately, there is neither a clearly defined timeframe in which statistics changes are made, nor a single place to get information on these updates. Once we are made aware of an official change, we work with our stats providers to verify the change and then post them on the http://football33.myfantasyleague.com/2008...ges&L=37464 Help > Whats New > Official Stat Changes screen for you and your owners to review. Then you can use the http://football33.myfantasyleague.com/2008...=37464&O=80 For Commissioners > Statistic Changes menu item if you decide to apply them to your league. Check out our http://myfantasyleague.wordpress.com/ Latest Blog Post for additional background and info on official stat changes.

For those of you that want to apply these changes for your league automatically each week, we've also added a new option this year to allow you to do that. Just check the box near the top of the http://football33.myfantasyleague.com/2008...=37464&O=80 For Commissioners > Statistic Changes screen, and then they will applied each week for you. Note that there is not a set time for them to be reported, but they generally will appear on our site either late Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
