Additional info on the fake punt for TD ruling in KC game in MFL:
How does the system handle scores if a kicker fakes a play?
Answer: The NFL does not have separate statistical categories for fake punts and kicks, so MyFantasyLeague.com does not, either. Instead, a fake play is scored as a regular rushing or passing play, just as it appears in a typical box score.
If you want to award your kicker or punter position for these types of plays, be sure that your league scoring rules are set up to include things like rushing and passing TDs, rushing and passing yards, etc. for kickers and punters, if appropriate for your league.
If you want to award your Special Teams or Team Defense position for these types of plays, there isn't any automatic way to do this. Instead, you would have to use the "For Commissioners > Setup > Player Score Adjuster" to add the points to the Team Defense position if/when this type of situation occurs.
Seems odd that the receiving team can score a ST TD, but the kicking ST cannot (on a fake). This would apply for fake FG's, too. Pretty weird to have KC defense dominate the game, and only get 10 pts for them. Oh well.
