Here's what Jim says (of course related to Ty Montgomery since there aren't any IDPs in Frenzy):

Well... despite the almost uniform agreement about the way the Frenzy has operated using MFL depth charts (which is correct)... if our rules state NFL team's depth charts I'm leaning towards honoring that. Clearly that needs to be corrected. But for this week (remainder of he season?), we probably should allow it if the Pack still marks him as a WR.

In response to Mike about Montgomery marked as RB by various sources:

I agree. But it looks like our rules state otherwise (at least in one place)... that's all I'm saying. But we need to close that loophole.

Final statement from Jim regarding the situation:

I am a HUGE intent of the rules (as opposed to letter of the rules) guy. It does appear that Montgomery has transitioned to RB. However, the NFL/MFL/Rotowirld depth chart issue isn't clear in our rules (though we NEED to clean that up immediately). I'm going to rule Montgomery is eligible to be played as a WR THIS WEEK. But I'll do more research by next week and may reverse this ruling for the remainder of the season. Thanks to both Mikes for presenting their cases.

From our rules:
Quote:
6G. Starting Position
Players can only be inserted into a starting line-up at a position for which they are listed on their NFL teams depth chart.
EXAMPLE: Kam "BAM" Chancellor is listed as CB/WR and can be started at WR or CB in the league. If he is listed as CB but NOT as WR, then he cannot be played at WR.
