With Jaylen Samuels looking set to be Pittsburgh's starting RB this week, and with him having RB/TE eligibility in Yahoo, I'm having memories of 2010, when I started Joe Webb at WR in my fantasy championship in a game where he was the Vikings' starting QB. I very nearly won the championship that year (would have if I had started the right defense). The other famous example is Marques Colston, who had WR/TE eligibility in his rookie season (I suppose you could also count Ty Montgomery 2016, but since most leagues have flex spots, dual RB/WR eligibility isn't nearly as significant. Also, Montgomery wasn't all that good that year.)
Anyway, I'm in good position to pick up Samuels when my waivers runs tomorrow morning, and assuming I get him, I will give serious thought to starting him at TE over Kittle. Unfortunately, though, I missed out on Colston, so I won't be able to hit the trifecta.
I know some people deride the strategy as cheating or classless or winning on a technicality, but I view it more as a savvy owner taking advantage of an infrequent quirk. If I had won that year with Webb, it would have been the kind of fantasy story I would one day tell my grandkids about.
Anyway, curious if anyone else is in position to check all three boxes.
