OK, this is a bit complicated but I will try to explain an argument that our league is having a hard time settling.

We have a live draft every year using a draft board and stickers. One of the owners drafted Dexter McCluster. His sticker was coded blue which designated him a "RB." When McCluster was drafted in real life the NFL labeled him a "RB" and assigned him a RB jersey number (22). The Chiefs are currently using him as a WR and he is lining up at WR much more than RB. Our website currently designates him as a "WR" only. ESPN fantasy football currently designates him as both a WR and a RB and eligible to play in either slot. Other websites have him listed as a WR only. The owner is requesting that we change his current designation from "WR" only to "RB" only. The only thing we have agreed to is that he must be one or the other and not both designations.

What does everybody here think?

The Kansas City Chiefs have him down as a WR on the depth chart, so WR and only WR.

Dexter McCluster is not a Running Back anymore. He's a WR that may occasionally do some single wing stuff out of the backfield.

He's a WR. He should be coded as such.

I appreciate the responses. One quick question, though. What happens if Hillis and Charles get hurt and the Chiefs decide to start McCluster at RB in week 3?

But does McCluster suddenly turn back into a "RB" for fantasy purposes?

yeah, i would go w/ the official depth chart.

i had woodhead a couple years ago in a fantasy league and it was awesome starting him at rb or wr b/c we didnt have a flex spot.

Manning, just because I think he's motivated to do better after last week's blunder.

I have a radical decision:

I'm thinking of starting Alshon Jeffery (WR-Bears) vs. Green Bay over --

Antonio Brown (WR-Pitts) vs. New York Jets.

The Steeler wide outs says they're not afraid of New York, but I sure am.

GB's D has been garbage, plus Cutler has more weapons now. But it's a short week. I don't know, I keep going back and forth. I think i'll take a "risk" and go Cutler because I feel like i'm gonna win this matchup anyway.

That's a tough one for you. Will Revis be on Wallace?

That's what I'm hoping for. Only Champ was on Brown in Denver, so...

fuck it. I'll keep Antonio. But if Jeffery does something special tonight... :x

I just remembered Revis is hurt and may not play.

I think we all know we should always do the opposite of Shamp.
