Drew Brees threw a pass that was intercepted by K. Moore of the Redskins. Moore returned the ball to the Washington 44, where he was stripped of the ball by Robert Meachem, who then ran for the touchdown.
Per our policy regarding these types of plays, this is an offensive fumble recovery touchdown for Meachem and NOT a defensive fumble recovery touchdown for the Saints. The intent of having a defensive unit on a fantasy team is to own the defensive players of that team; clearly the Saints defensive unit was never on the field at any time during the play.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
**Makes sense and I believe FLEA needs to take away that TD
Yes. As our founder noted in the other thread, we at Flea will be changing the play to an offensive fumble recovery TD, which we've always credited as a rushing TD for fantasy purposes and will be staying consistent.
There's also an issue with the yardage of the score. It's being listed as 0 but it was really 44 yards. Will be changed shortly.
Sorry for any misunderstanding earlier with the play, but it was a fantasy issue vs. an NFL technicality and we're going to side with the fantasy player's point-of-view like we always have.

Well, you are Wrong!!! You really should go along with the NFL point of view!! You obviously are not siding with EVERY fantasy player's view!
