Can you provide a little more detail? What exactly will you need to add RB eligibility? Is it like Yahoo who needs to see the packers update the team roster on their website?
After last night's game, he looks like a consistent starting RB (lined up more in the backfield than out wide, first carry of the game, goal line work, and Aaron Rodgers saying after the game "he's a running back now")
Looks pretty consistent to me, and the longer we wait, the longer owners who want to and should be able to start him at RB are missing out on games they should be winning
So now he counts against both the WR and RB max roster limits? Crazy. I picked him up as a WR, not he's a WR/RB and that invalidated my #1 waiver claim somehow. Also, if he counts as a RB, then technically I now have 7 RB on my roster. What about Randall Cobb, Terrelle Pryor, Sproles, Edelman or other players who line up at alternate positions? What is the line at which position duality is defined?
PLEASE CHANGE!! If Ty Montgomery is a WR/RB please change the settings for that to count only against 1 position of our choice not BOTH WR and RB. That does not make any sense. 1 player should not cost 2 spots in a line up. Please change ASAP so I can update my roster.
As commissioner of my league, I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands on this one since it seems Fleaflicker isn't willing to correct the "glitch". What I did was expand the RB and WR max roster slots to 6 (from previously 5) in order to "fool" the system. I sent an email out to all the league owners that I was doing this in order to rectify the Montgomery dilemma and that the roster expansion wasn't to be exploited by adding extra players.
It's a shame we have to do it this way but since Fleaflicker can't/won't rectify the issue, this seems to be the only solution for now.
This is a tough one because I just dropped a RB off my bench to make room for a WR off my IR - now I cannot do that because I have Ty counting against both my RB & WR roster limits. It would have been nice to know this PRIOR to picking him up off waivers! - When a Player is tagged as a dual position it should be noted that this player will count against BOTH eligible roster spot counts! I'm still curious why FF or other sites cannot just add an # of Eligible WR/RB positions to the Roster Setup Options?
We as Commissioners could then set our WR & RB limits along with WR/RB limit - So instead of the current 6 + 6 I could choose to set this up as 5+5 and +2 for WR/RB - this would deal with the Dual player status and allow owners a mix option of 5WR / 5RB and up to TWO either dual status players or RB or WR - essentially a team could opt for 7 WRs and 5 RBs or visa versa - either way doesn't matter but it cures the double dipping of a Dual status player.

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

Hello,
We aren't likely to make the change unless it looks like he will be a consistent starting RB. Thanks for reaching out to ask!

I hope you guys change it! He is used in the same exact role as Theo riddick

For what it's worth, ESPN just gave him RB/WR eligibility
Rjef52Mon 10/24/16 4:23 PM
ESPN just gave Montgomery the WR/RB eligibility. Is it any more likely now?
AustinGroMon 10/24/16 4:36 PM

Why would someone like Mark Barron be a LB/DB and TY not be a RB/WR?

Please Change!

At this point he is a hybrid at the least and should be RB/WR!
almbleamalTue 10/25/16 10:17 AM
"I think he's a running back now," Aaron Rodgers said. Enough said; make him am RB/WR!

Add me to this list as a completely unbiased Ty Montgomery owner :)
tyeeTue 10/25/16 10:23 AM
All of my RBs are hurt or on a bye. I'd like to start TY instead of picking up sproles or fozzy. Deep league. No one else on the wire.
TY for RB!
dfins10Tue 10/25/16 8:51 PM
I don't care what position he is, but just pick one. He's currently taking up two spots on my roster and I can't make any other changes.
budweiser18Tue 10/25/16 9:32 PM
He can not take up two spots. Pick one or the other. RB or WR

RB/WR eligibility is great, position limits are not. Why even have them?
