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

Guys,
I was first to counter this scoring change to FF and had put on the table the official ruling of the NFL and their scoring system!!
Official they gave Meachem a "Fumble recovery" of 44 yards, but no points! His official scoring for WR is 1 TD.
Now I know that the Saints D should get 6 points and Meachem gets the 44 yards plus the TD, but FF weighed the ruling between ppl for and against and went for the ones that said the D shouldn't get the points!!
Bottom line to make this short ( and mind you I was in contact with them for a couple hours) We as commishes can OVERIDE their decision and change the scoring to fit the NFL ruling.
There is a problem with that too as if you do change it, you will get a uprising in your league as MOST leagues are public and aren't too tight with each other and all the sudden you have owners drop out!!
I even tried to make it fair to them to kill the play if it was causing too much confusion to owners and such, but they stated this is final and put the ball in our court!!
Bottom line FF changed it and thats it! I believe its fair to do in fairness to owners and left it to commishes to change the way they want!
Why did Fleaflicker change it if they are going to keep saying leave it up to the owners and commishs to change it back to the way the NFL scored it. It seems to me they could have just left it alone and still told us that we as owners and commishs could change it as we see fit.

Cause of "Public Leagues" that don't use a commish

That is a good selling point. I forgot about those people with no commishs. LOL
