I don't see Travis Hunter listed in the FBG rookie/dynasty rankings for my IDP leagues.

Before I submit a help ticket, does anyone see him listed?

I see him. He’s #4 in the rookie rankings, after Tet and ahead of Hampton.

Currently MFL has Hunter listed at WR only. In their last article, Norton and Davenport discussed Hunter with the expectation sites would give him him dual eligibility (WR/CB). They primarily focused on how he'd be at a huge advantage as a CB getting WR stats. Or even if at WR, the additional IDP stats would boost his value there as well.

Now back to Hunter listed at WR only as of now on MFL... By our current league rules, he would not get the benefit of his IDP stats. We don't give offensive players stats for special teams tackles, etc. However if plays both roles, this is something we may have to look at again. We ran into this issue in my baseball league when Shohei Ohtani came to MLB. The CBS site we use allowed you to use him at DH or P... but not both. Which I didn't think was right. But as hitters and pitchers are separate positions, there was no way on the CBS site (as constructed) for Ohtani to get both unless you had him at two positions at once.

In my mind, Hunter should be eligible at both WR & CB. And get the benefit of his stats on both sides of the ball. But... I also don't think offensive players who make tackles on INT returns, etc. should get points for tackles. I can see it either way, but for me, it is Just not something I think worth keeping up with.

Either way, right now it is a moot point for Hunter as an IDP unless MFL adds CB eligibility with a training camp update.

Interested in thoughts on this.

My thoughts on Hunter is no double up on points. You start him as WR, he only gets WR points. You start him at CB, he only gets CB points. This is how our league scores. O players only get O points and D players only get D points.

MFL. I don’t think I have ever seen double position eligibility. Other sites might allow. But MFL allows comments in lineup submissions and the commish to adjust scores.

For my home league, the Hunter owner can start at both WR and DB but will have to put that in his comments. If MFL changes position to CB, than he will start him at DB and put in comments also starting at WR. If stays WR than opposite. And will have scored changed manually after Hunters game of the week.

Hunters value in our league will not be top 5 asset like it could be in leagues that give points for anything you do. His value is 1 guy can play 2 positions opening up roster room to add another player. Just as it for the Jaguars. Our owner hopes he excels at both. CBs are usually not very impactful and sure he won’t be targeted either. Thus the owner really hopes he excels as a WR. If not than the 1.6 pick of the draft will be average and could be a bust. For comparison no other CB was drafted. Barron was early FA pickup. Hairston/Porter only other CBs picked up as start 4-6 DBs per week in our league but LB is king, and S to me is queen.

In our league on MFL, we have scoring set up so all players get credit for yards, receptions, tackles, interceptions, pass defend, return yards, etc. regardless of position.
In this league Hunter could only play WR but get credit for all points scored.

In my Sleeper league, Hunter has eligibility at either WR or CB. With the #4 pick in the draft he is mine if he is still there. I would start him at CB and get all points from both positions played.

As @Crippler mentioned, I have never seen MFL give any player dual designation. This has been a discussion across my leagues this year and the scoring system makes all the difference. I have leagues that the scoring system will only give him WR scoring. I do have one league that lumps all players together on both sides of the ball. Hunter will be very valuable there as a WR getting some IDP points, as well.

We score all points for stats accrued. So when Randy Moss was put in for an end of game hail mary, Moss got credited with the interception. I don't see a reason to exclude scoring points for stats accrued.

Positional eligibility is a different issue and we are going with the sites designation.
