Apologies if this has been brought up before, but is there a reason why we used Fumble Recoveries as an IDP stat rather than Fumbles Forced? It would seem to me that FF is more representative a skill whereas FR is just being lucky or in the right spot.

It has been brought up numerous times, but some of the owners feel that the actual turnover is more important. You could have 4 forced fumbles, but if your team doesn't recover any of them they don't really matter. I myself would prefer one point for a forced fumble and 3 points for a fumble recovery.

I agree with that part of it, but I think forcing them should be worth something. I think FF is what separates some of the average IDP from the elite IDP. I don't think it would make a HUGE difference in scoring because the player with the most FF last year only had 7, but recovered 0.
