Wow I had no idea.Thanks for the tip. It's time to add him to all of my 16 Yahoo Public Leagues if it's not already too late.
#2 ??? He is 4th in the league in WR scoring ... 2 points off of #1I have him in a Yahoo league as well ... And I could care less what people think I don't make the rules either.
If hadn't grabbed him first someone one else would be doing the same thing. When yahoo changes his position, Ill stop using him as a TE.
I didn't realize that. I haven't kept up with his stats that close because I already knew he was the best at the TE spot.
Not really. No league that I'm in allows for Colston at TE. However, the person that is allowed to plug Colston in at TE is in reality getting to play an extra WR each week.People go around here and brag about how they get to play Colston at TE each week. It's just cheap. If that's how you want to win this game, great. But just know that you are practically cheating.You get stomped by Colston's owner?

Well, I play in a league with IDP's. According to you, I would have to eliminate an LB who lined up as a DE and got a sack. To cheat is to violate the rules of the league you are playing. If your league says that a player is a TE, regardless of where he lines up, you are within the rules to use him as a TE.

That isn't the same comparison. Colston is/was a WR and lines up as a WR. Other than some draft pundits calling him a "tweener" and Coslton lining up as a TE sometimes in college, it shouldn't make him eligible for TE. His eligibility should be based on his actual roster position with the NFL and Saints....which is a WR.The problem is with Yahoo making him TE eligible, for no good reason.If Yahoo allowed Peyton Manning to play TE, you would consider that fair, simply because Yahoo allows it? Yahoo is plainly wrong in this.Well, I play in a league with IDP's. According to you, I would have to eliminate an LB who lined up as a DE and got a sack.

Perhaps they were/are. But the NFL doesn't change the outcome of a game because someone's judgment was wrong. People in Yahoo leagues saw Colston listed as a TE, and picked him up. They did so in the expectation that that is what he was. Not everyone playing FF is a purist who has the depth charts of all 32 teams at his fingertips. They may have picked him up instead of picking up Cotchery as a WR, and someone else now owns Cotchery. What is done is done. You play by the rules of the league you are in. As long as someone doesn't violate the rules, it is ok with me. There are all kinds of managers who are congratulating themselves because they had the foresight to pick up Maroney, or Cotchery or Grassman. Someone did the same with Colston.That isn't the same comparison. Colston is/was a WR and lines up as a WR.

Because you have known since week one that Y! leagues allow colston as a wr/te. it is not cheating in those leagues - it is fair play based on league software. That's what "fantasy" football is all about.
he's a wr/te - can be played in either spot.
[pulp fiction on]my name's paul . . . and that's between y'all[off]If YOUR league cares, then you have to abide by YOUR league's decision. Otherwise, you all can stop chiming in on whether it is fair or not.
Play him at WR - I have Watson in my only Y! league and if he EVER comes around, I can guarantee that both Watson and Colston will be in my lineup.
Yes.

I think in a way it is both. Yahoo has Colston labeled as TE/WR. That is inaccurate, and everybody knows it. If I were the commish of a yahoo league, I would ask the person who drafted Colston to not play him as a TE, and only play him as a WR. Colston wasn't picked up in most leagues until after week 1, but even before week one it was known that he was a WR. I think it hurts the integrity of a league to play Colston in a position that he doesn't play in. Anybody who plays him as a TE, is knowingly using an extra WR, while others are playing real TE's. People who say, well someone else would have done the same if they had got him first. I think that is lame. All that means is that there are other dishonest people in your league. For those saying people are jealous they didn't get to him first. Wrong. Some people just have integrity, and some don't.it's not cheating - it's taking advantage of the league.
I actually played Colston instead of Gates. And it's not a public league!
That is false. He is listed as a TE/WR and everybody knows that is inaccurate, and many people picked him up because of the loophole.

If your league's commish and the rest of the league doesn't care, what makes YOU, or anyone ELSE HERE, arbiter of what is fair or what is cheating in someone else's Y! league?
It's called an opinion. Also what is the excuse shirt for? I'm stating how I feel, not making an excuse. Learn the difference.
it's not an excuse - it's all in the game.That is also a proper use of the "ptts" symbol.It's called an opinion. Also what is the excuse shirt for? I'm stating how I feel, not making an excuse. Learn the difference.
Wrong. You are trying to set the world right by changing the rules after the fact. As I mentioned above, what if the person who picked him up, legitimately thinking he was a TE, did not pick up Cotchery, or Grossman or any number of players that he could have picked up instead?Are you going to go back and set that one right?I think in a way it is both.

Valuable info here.
Like I said above, if I had Watson come around, I'd play Colston at my flex spot and put Watson in at TE.FF's all about point scoring advantages - and if I had a TE performing even up to the level of the #12 TE, I'd use my TE and use my Colston advantage at WR.
Good poInt, I've let a lot of good TE's go by on the waiver wire and turned down a trade becuase I knew I was set with Colston. To take him out of the mix now would kill me at TE.
