I know there is a big fantasy league/following on here so help me understand the Josh Allen play tonight. I have been doing fantasy football for 30 years…… how is Josh getting credit for a receiving touchdown??!! He didn’t catch the pass! It is a rushing touchdown since he caught a pitch back. Amari gets credit for the catch and Josh should get credit for a rushing touchdown. He did not catch the ball he threw!! Help me understand please

It’s like the ole hook and ladder play. You can’t have a rush and pass on the same play. When Allen completed the pass it was a pass play then the lateral which he ran in. It’s still a pass play
You’re probably exactly right in how the statisticians look at it and score it but that is absolutely the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. The catch was made by Amari Cooper so no other player should be able to get a receiving touchdown. You absolutely should be able to have a reception and a rushing TD on the same play since that is exactly what happened. I remember the great play Randy Moss made many years ago when he caught a long pass before the half and lateraled it to Robert Smith who ran it in. Was that a TD pass for Culpepper and a receiving TD for Robert Smith?
Another point here. On a pitch play to end a game if the pass is completed and then 8 pitches ensue and a guy scores is that considered a TD pass?
Yes
No because they were laterals not forward passes
The Randy Moss lateral was to Moe Williams in 2004 as the 1st half clock ran out against Denver. Culpepper was credited w/ TD pass, and Williams with a Receiving TD.
