As worded, it would award X amount of points for a recovered fumble, resulting in a TD.
My question I guess is, if a player you owned recovered a fumble, and then scored, would they only be awarded the points for the recovered fumble+score (default is 6), or would it add it to the points awarded for an individual score as well (default 6)?
In short, it will count as just one TD and 6 points in this unique instance on offense with changes through the years explained in detail below.
Note: Each play is reviewed on an individual and case-by-case basis as the NFL scores them. In the past few years, no player in memory has doubled up on the scoring here since the NFL made some changes a handful of years ago and so did we -however in the Week 13, 2011 game, C.J. Spiller was credited with both because some leagues had both rushing TD's and offensive fumble return TD's count and manually applied that themselves -- it's a bit different now. If you apply both in the rules, it's possible (but not likely) in a rare play they can double up if the NFL scores it as such (though unlikely because the play would have to be very odd in nature and it is very, very rare to happen now). The latest case after Spiller was in Week 3 of 2012 when Antonio Brown recovered a fumble of his own on a catch he initially made and then scored, but was only credited with a receiving TD in leagues with both rules having applied the scoring. It was rectified around then, 3 years ago.
I wouldn't worry about it (doubling up) with the way the NFL scores these now and we handle them -- leave both rules in place. If it is a really odd or rare play like Robert Meachem's in 2009 against Washington for New Orleans we'll take a look and use our best judgement with our stats provider and the NFL's ruling, but it likely will continue to follow just the NFL and rule it as 1 TD (6 points and not stack like defensive categories) in these rare instances.

Im curious why this is a thing.

Commishes can always edit box scores too.
Thanks.
