I've noticed more and more at the end of games wherein the "miracle lateral play" is employed, players are less inclined to actually lateral the football if they don't have a clearing to hit a teammate with a level of certainty, which is to say––perhaps––they don't want to risk having a lost fumble attributed to their stats, both IRL and in the fantasy realm (this is just a theory, and a run-on sentence; I have no evidence to back this up––I just wanted to bitch that these "miracle lateral plays" have become, too often, stale, and it breaks my heart ever so because I love those plays).
