Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Sports.
I appreciate your inquiry with regards to player eligibility.
His eligibility will not be changed this season. Our system does not
allow players to be eligible for offense and defense, it is one or the
other. Since he started the season as a WR in the database it can not be
removed without locking every roster that has him on their team.
Unfortunately our hands are tied, trying to correct this would cause a
much larger issue.
Players may be eligible at multiple positions during the current Yahoo!
Sports Fantasy Football season. Initial position eligibility was
determined based on past participation and information supplied by the
teams during the off-season.
Players will earn eligibility at a new position only when their primary
position has changed and the change is not expected to be a temporary
one. For example, a defensive lineman who lines up at tight end or in
the backfield during goal line situations WILL NOT earn eligibility at a
new position.
Players will not lose position eligibility when moving from one position
to another. If a TE begins to play at RB, he will be eligible for the
remainder of the season as both a TE and RB.
When a player has earned eligibility at a new position, the position
will be visible on the drop-down position menu on your team roster.
Changes will be made during the season as soon as new information is
available to us.
All players earn fantasy points for all of your league's categories.
Points coming from categories not normally associated with a player's
position (e.g., a kicker who throws a touchdown pass) are called
miscellaneous points and are indicated by a "*" to the right of a
player's point total.
Please feel free to email me again with any further comments or
questions.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Sports.
