This is really, really, really weird.
The NFL issued a stat correction for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams on Wednesday. The correction was issued for Week 6 (and for those not keeping score at home, it's now Week 16.
There was a play for which Williams was originally awarded a negative-5-yard rush. That's been changed to a fumble, a fumble recovery and a 0-yard rush.

Fantasy sites generally have it explained somewhere that they won't go back longer than a certain period of time to adjust points for stats corrections. This certainly is beyond that length.
