What is an offensive fumble return touchdown?

An offensive fumble return touchdown is scored any time an offensive player recovers a fumble for a touchdown or advances a recovered fumble for a touchdown.

For example, if Priest Holmes runs to the opponent's 5-yard line and fumbles, Tony Gonzalez would be credited with an offensive fumble return touchdown if he were to recover the fumble and score a touchdown.

A player scoring a touchdown after recovering a fumble would not be officially credited with a rushing or receiving touchdown.

This category is included in the default settings for Public Leagues and is optional in Custom Leagues.
