Yes, appears there is a glitch in system. The Montgomery team owner is trying to drop a RB for another RB but it won't allow him because it says he's over the allowed 5 max RB positions. Even though he currently has 5 RB's and has Montgomery as a receiver.
Will this be corrected so he can put his waiver claim in (dropping one RB for another one)?
Fleaflicker. Need to fix Ty Montgomery so that he only fills one roster slot. ASAP. Waiver claims will be messed up. Don't let this be an embarrassment.
Fleaflicker never does a primary position for dual players - it was all inclusive. It works the same for the other fantasy sports on here (especially basketball and baseball).
All inclusive, but that makes no sense. If you're going to add dual eligibility mid season, then do it right or don't do it at all. Case in point, TY was already rostered by Team A. He had 5 RB's and 4 WR's (Ty being a WR). Our league has roster limitations of 5 RB's and 4 WR's MAX or 4 RB's and 5 WR's. Point being, before the dual eligibility, his roster was legal. Now with dual eligibility, his roster is illegal? So he can't drop a RB to add another RB. As commissioner, do I force him now to drop a RB for a WR since his roster is now technically illegal? When before the dual eligibility, his roster was legal? Makes no sense.
If you're going to provide dual eligibility, do it right or don't do it at all. We shouldn't have to "work around the system" to keep things running smoothly.
Duality decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, looking at different criteria. We updated Montgomery after Green Bay used him consistently as a RB in the last game and it appears they intend to do the same this week. Sites like ESPN Fantasy and Rotoworld also updated Montgomery with duality. (espn.com)
Unfortunately, there is a known complexity with any players with duality -- the player will be counted agains the max settings for each position. This is the same across all of our sports. Duality is actually quite common in the NHL, NBA and MLB, but hybrid positions are less common in the NFL. In the future, we hope to offer an option where players with duality can be locked in one position or the other in order to avoid these complexities.
Commissioners can decide if the situation warrants an adjustment to the maximum settings for RBs and/or WRs given the situation via League Settings > Edit Roster Requirements. Some commissioners are making an adjustment but letting the league know that the bump up to the max can only be used for players with duality.
Also, we are letting commissioners know that if they have custom scoring rules set up that apply different scores for RBs vs. WRs, players with duality may have both rules count. As commish, what you can do is to let the owner know that you are going to adjust the their final box score (League Settings > Edit Past Box Scores) to subtract the extra points when the box scores are finalized on Tuesdays.
Our apologies if this update has posed any challenges for your roster or your league!

Its possible montgomery might get the start at RB thursday. Will he gain eligibility before Thursdays game?

Woohoo!

So is he going to take two roster spots now?
JMGuyTue 10/25/16 3:15 PM
I need to know this as well. if added, does he take a RB spot and a WR spot? That would be unfortunate.
tnmarauderTue 10/25/16 4:36 PM
If he does thats just stupid
tnmarauderTue 10/25/16 4:40 PM
Why would he take two slots?

In my case, I am trying to add him as a RB but it won't let me unless I drop a WR (saying I am already at the maximum of 5 WR).
