2) On a play where the ball is kicked in either kickoff or free kick formation ~or~ a scrimmage play
and the ball is physically kicked (and not blocked), then the team that kicks the ball is considered the
defense and can score fantasy points (e.g.fumble) or lose points (on a return for TD) as per scoring

team defense will get credit for the score.

FANTASY POINTS are scored on a game by game basis. The player or defense gets a fantasy point
total each game. Each game’s point total for that player or defense gets added together for total
Fantasy Points.
All individual players are scored uniformly regardless of position.
Offensive players can score points in any offensive point category regardless of position.
See Finance/Prize Page for entry TIEBREAKER rules.
Occasionally the NFL makes changes on how a play is scored. This can occur days after the game is
played. The scoring is done using box scores on NFL.com on the same night the game is played.
Any scoring changes occurring later, the pool commissioner is not responsible for. The pool will be
adjusted accordingly for any scoring changes the commissioner becomes aware of that occur while the
Pool is operational. The Pool results will be made final at the end of the Monday following the Super
Bowl. Any scoring changes by the NFL made after that time will not affect pool results.
All results are final if not protested before the Thursday following the Super Bowl.
The pool commissioner will make final decision on any scoring decision that is not clearly defined
in the rules.
