Neil Beaufort Zod Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Deamon said: So then you're saying TE/QB makes no sense since he should be either a WR, TE, or WR/TE. To your second point, well then I guess 99% of sports sites/publications are crazy and the 1% (espn fantasy which is known for sucking) has it right. I don't think they're crazy. I think they're lazy. The team listed him as a QB, so they're like, okay. Wasn't it the same thing with Colston? I think Hill should definitely be listed as something other than just QB. Maybe RB/WR/QB, though I'm not sure I know the difference between TE and WR anymore. They seem similar. If I had to do it, I'd probably list him as everything but a kicker. Like "Athlete" in college videogames. In the next decade, I think we'll see more of these guys come out. A general weapon that a coach can use in different ways. Fantasy sites should probably list them how they're used rather than simply how the team designates them. They paid him QB money so they called him a QB. They haven't used him that way so far. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pick just one position. I would make him eligible at several spots. This is exactly the situation that eligibility at multiple positions was created for. Not trying to pin you down. I'm just asking a question. You said QB/TE wasn't the best position for him, so I'm asking you what position you would make him. Considering he is the starting QUARTERBACK this week, it is a complete unfair advantage to use a guy throwing all the passes to be used in a Tight end spot.

It just happens that he is ALSO used all over the field. 88% of his touches come at the QB position this year. Running out of the wildcat isn't the same as playing QB. Ronnie Brown and countless other RBs and WRs didn't suddenly become QBs by virtue of taking a direct snap and running with the ball. Your 88% stat is complete nonsense. He's functionally a RB on almost all of those plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Tebow played 132 snaps in 2012 (including several snaps while the starting QB was on the field) and only threw 8 passes. That didn't mean that he wasn't a quarterback.

sushinsky4tsar Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I thought Winston would mix in more. Hill putting up good production even by QB standards is everything you feared if you had to play him. Almost feels like your opponent got a bonus QB and bonus RB at the TE position. Sincerely hope it doesn't cost anyone here a playoff spot or division title. Obviously, there will be small percentage of leagues out there where it absolutely will. Good for those who were on the spot to claim the week 11 windfall. However, this better be the end of the madness. There's no gray area here. Absolutely no excuse for 'QB' and nothing else to be following Hill's name when you login Tuesday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully ESPN realizes their mistake and fixes the issue though but it's probably too late for some. I actually really dislike Yahoo and am surprised that they made the responsible move to remove the TE this week so he was forced to play the position he was playing in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
