No, in the NFL, a fumble cannot be advanced by the offense. If the offense recovers their own fumble, the ball is dead at the spot of the recovery. If the defense recovers the fumble, they can advance it.

In the NFL, a fumble recovery occurs when a player gains possession of the ball after it has been dropped or lost by the opposing team. The player who recovers the fumble can advance the ball, and possession is awarded to the recovering team. If the fumble occurs in the end zone, it can result in a touchdown or a touchback.
