This is on MFL help:
Question:Why is a player being penalized for his fumble on a punt or kickoff return? Fumbles should only apply to individual players when they're on offense.

Answer: If your league uses the general "Fumbles" or the "Fumbles Lost (to Opponent)" rule in your scoring system for individual players, then it will include all fumbles by the player, no matter how or when they occurred. So in this case, even though the fumble happened on a punt or kickoff return, which many leagues consider to be a "special teams" play, it is still counted in the total for "Fumbles Lost" for the individual player.

If you don't want to count these fumbles that happen on non-offensive plays, then you should use the rule for "Fumbles on Offense" or "Fumbles Lost on Offense" instead. Please note that there have been quite a few fumbles on punt and kickoff returns that happen each week of the NFL season, so if you change this rule part way through the season, and you choose to apply it to the previous weeks, then it could change the scores for some players for prior weeks, too.

Pat, I can email MFL as commish if we want further clarification. I guess I would need to know exactly what we are asking. Are we looking to eliminate any points, negative or positive, from special teams?
