Does Yahoo update their positions, wr/rb? (1 Viewer)

[jdubs952]

I was thinking about picking up woodhead for the value he presents if he continues to get 10 rushes and check downs (especially at the wr position).

Can yahoo remove or do they remove the wr/rb designation at any point?

I really don't see a McCluster Q but the guy is electric and used all over. I don't have any clue what position yahoo or the NFL lists him at, but the Chiefs have made it crystal clear that they will move him all over to find a mismatch.

Maybe in year two they'll try to maximize his value at one spot, but the only guys doing anything for their offense are Charles and him(with an occasional catch by the TE) so I imagine they're going to keep doing whatever it takes to get those two in the game as much as possible.

Bowe and Cassel have zero confidence and in the NFL that can make a player useless pretty quick. I'm waiting for Bowe to make a few catches and get his feet under him but the guy's a shell of his former self out there.

I've never seen them do it in the middle of the season. Those guys should be WR/RB eligible all year.

mccluster is both wr & rb eligible.

No, Yahoo will probably not change anything midseason. The most famous example of this was Yahoo's WR/TE designation for Marques Colston during his rookie year. Other sites like ESPN changed him to a WR only during the season, but Yahoo left it alone all year.

Yup. They won't change it, even if it's wrong (Colston, TE, 2006).

This.Colston didn't take one snap at TE in 2006, but kept TE eligibility all season.Yahoo won't change eligibility...unless their policy has changed over the years.

This sounds good, but the reality is that they aren't using him much outside of special teams. He has 12 offensive touches so far. Unless that changes he's not going to have much fantasy value.

Yahoo's policy in all fantasy sports is that they will add position eligibility if the situation warrants, but will never remove it. Their stance, even in extreme cases like Colston's TE eligibility referenced above, is that it is unfair to those who drafted the player under the assumption they will play a specific position to remove that option.

Great info.

Thanks!

I might pick up woodhead.
