I can't reconcile the points posted for two team defenses at DraftKings in week #3.
I sent the following questions to DK support:1. Arizona: you show 7 points in the game log.
Listed Stats: 1 safety (2 pts), 4 sacks (4 pts), 1 int (2 pts), 27 PA (0 pts)
Why is the total not 8 pts?
2. Jets: you show 5 points in the game log
Listed Stats: 2 sacks (2 pts), 12 PA (4 pts), 1 fumble recovery (2 pts)
Why is the total not 8 pts? The response I received was not helpful:Per our terms and conditions, contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results at the completion of the last professional sports game of each individual Contest. Additionally, all statistics are based off of official NFL released statistics. I can assure you that all point totals for Week 3 are correct. Can anyone figure out if/why the reported points should be as DK has listed? It doesn't impact me financially, but I'd like to understand.
Here is a link to the scoring formula page at DK:

Actually, I think I just figured it out.
Both games had a fumble return TD on a special teams play (one on a kick return, the other on a FG attempt). So, according to the DK rules, those both count as "points allowed" (PA). So even though DK shows PA that exclude those TDs, their scoring reflects 18 PA for the Jets and 33 PA for Arizona.
