Player Positions - RB Cordarrelle Patterson

Liquid Swords · November 5th, 2021, 09:10 AM

How do we determine player positions and changes to player positions?

I just noticed that Cordarrelle Patterson is listed as a WR on MFL and even that way on roster app since that's how his initial bid was placed, but he has clearly been listed as a RB for the Atlanta Falcons website (https://www.atlantafalcons.com/team/depth-chart) and all kinds of news stories even prior to start of season say he's a RB (for example: https://www.profootballrumors.com/20...t-running-back and https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/player...elle-patterson - see Sept 9 post). For my family league on ESPN, he's clearly listed as a RB too.

Sorry, I never noticed this earlier and surprised no one has previously pointed this out earlier in the season. I took me until this week when playing Preds in Frenzy that I noticed this.

IMO, this is an unfair advantage to be playing a RB in a WR position due to the amount of touches a RB receives compared to a WR.

Thoughts?

I had not noticed. I've submitted ticket to MFL asking what methods they use to determine position changes. I've seen this happen to IDP's before season started, but not sure I've seen it during the season.

We had this with Ty Montgomery a few years ago: http://predsff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26959 and we changed his position mid-season

So, based on discussions we had previously regarding Montgomery, Patterson should be changed to RB - since both Falcons team page, and Rotoworld list him as RB.

Since games have already started this week, change will be made on Tuesday.

Yes, that's how I see it too.

Teams also need to speak up and self-police if they notice position changes when they happen. Not sure how this one slipped through the cracks for 9 weeks, but it is what it is.

This seems to make sense to me.

MFL responded with same response as we got in Frenzy regarding Montgomery. They do not make position changes during the season, but the Commissioner is able to, and it is league responsibility to make those changes if they deem necessary.

That's fine.
