Only if the spot of the fumble is beyond the NZ.

Sit b) was behind the NZ.

Fumbles and backward passes can be loose ball plays, if they occur behind the NZ. According to 2-33-1c:
Art 1 . . . A loose-ball play is action during:
A backward pass (including the snap), an illegal kick or
fumble made by A from in or behind the neutral zone prior to a change of team possession.
In sit b), it was a fumble behind the neutral zone prior to a change of possession, thus it was a loose ball play. In my situation, I was specifically targeting a loose ball behind the NZ, thus the previous spot enforcement.
