I was seeing if you can manually change this for me after this weekend?" Is this a thing? I've never heard of a commissioner having control over something like that before. If I even can, is that something I should entertain? Dangerous precedent to be starting imo. It's up the managers to make sure their moves are properly executed. Wait til next week when someone else meant to pick up the random rookie who popped off on a thurs night etc. On the plus side, I highly doubt anyone will be picking up Gostowski next week anyway so he should easily be able to get him for free.

Cave into this, and you’re setting a bad precedent for the rest of the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I even can, is that something I should entertain? When in doubt, ask the league. Just send a quick message to all owners: "Hey everyone. Jimbob let me know that he had put in to add a kicker, but some technical wonkiness prevented the move from going through. If no one objects, I'll manually process the move. Please let me know if you aren't cool with this. Thanks." If even one person says no, it's tough cookies for Jimbob. If no one cares, then do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a glitch over the last couple weeks? Anyone see this? This happened again this week. Ridley is in IR and listed as Q and they just did an add/drop. Has anyone else seen this or a reason from ESPN? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think with Yahoo, as long as you enter the claim before he is changed to Q, you are able to make the move. Not sure if that’s similar with ESPN.

Tenner 1,052 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 This is why I drafted him. This is why I bragged to my league mates the second I drafted him. The risk was always that he would waste a roster spot all year, the reward is having more QB snaps. If ESPN eliminates his status of TE, when it was that status that weighed heavily in my decision to draft him then I’d quit. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any league that allows a starting QB to be played in the TE/Flex spot is a joke. Any league that has a commish that tries to play god is a joke. At the most, it should be a league vote. Under no circumstances should a commish ever try to be controlling and play god in a league. That just makes for a pathetic league.

He earned the TE status going into the season so therefor he should carry that status. Period. *Again, coming from someone with no skin in the game here. Just using logic.

I will ask you again. He played most of his snaps at TIGHT END last year. What position should he have qualified for going into this season? By your illogical stance here, no player should ever qualify at multiple positions. Kris Bryant is a starting 3B for the Chicago Cubs but plays a few games at OF, 1B so he has multiple position eligibility. Is that wrong too? Nonsense.

ColoWrex 1,951 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Was there this much uproar when Ty Mont moved to RB and had RB/WR eligibility? Or is there so much angst because it's a QB (high point possibility) at TE (positional waste land)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you broached this before it's bush league to try to make a rule out of thin air in the middle of the season. Nah - it's bush league all the people in here clinging to FF loopholes for wins. Are you comparing a utility player like Cordelle and Taysom to a full blown starting QB who will get to touch the ball almost every snap? There is no world in which this play makes any sense in terms of fairness. I'm sorry all you dudes want to cheat your way to victory under the guise of "it's allowable!" lol...but as Commissh of my league, I'm not going to do this to the rest of the owners. Just because something is allowable, doesn't mean it's right. 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
