"R"s fumble from within his own EZ goes into the field of play and rebounds back into the EZ where (A) it becomes dead there in Rs possession or (B) becomes dead with no one in possession or (C) continues to roll OOB from the EZ.
Assuming the ball hits a divot and goes back in the end zone:
In (a) I'd say a safety because the ball was clearly out of the end zone and the force that put it back in the end zone was the fumble.
In (b), also a safety because the ball belongs to the team last in possession which would be R.
In (c), also a safety.
If R is the home team, the coach is looking for a new groundskeeper
