?

Most sites have it set by default that passing points apply to all players. It's just the position designation that sets players apart

As a quarterback

I would assume 1 point per 25 passing yards and 4 points per passing touchdown.

Same thing as a QB or WR running the ball

He would get points for passing yards and TDs just like a QB does

do you even Joe Webb, bro?

I mean like if I have him starting on my team as a receiver and then all of a sudden he switches to qb. Do I get those qb points or am I just shite out of luck?

Yes. You get the QB points.

Players accumulate points, not positions

He would also get negative points for interceptions and fumbles. Houston defense is licking their chops.

If a player has those stats, it's run through the setting and those points are awarded to the player.

I keep seeing this question and I'm amazed. It's the same thing as a WR getting points for a rushing play and vice versa. I remember seeing RBs get points when they toss a pass.

People seem to think that Edleman will be throwing to himself

You get those points. Just like if a WR runs an end around and rushes the ball. You get the rushing stats. Or if a RB lines up at WR and catches the ball. You'd get the receiving stats.

How awesome would it be if you owned a RB and WR off say Team A and on the week you matched up against team A's QB their OC calls a HB pass to your WR that goes for a TD. Surely a rarity in terms of probabilaty but I would pay to watch the shite stomaching face the QB owner would make.

Same would go for Pryor with the Browns who's got a better shot at QB

My question would be is there any chance Edelman becomes designated as a QB? Obviously they wouldn't do it this week but let's say Brady gets hurt and Edelman is their best option at QB. It becomes clear that he'll be playing QB and not WR for the rest of the year. Would they switch him to where you have to play him as a QB instead of a WR (screwing the people who own him) or would they leave him as a WR (screwing all non-Edelman owners)?

Thoughts on starting him tonight

I also have Marvin Jones, Alshon Jeffery, Jordan Matthews and Maclin.
.5ppr, .5 a carry.
Leaning Matthews over Julian. Going to stick with Marvin and Alshon.
Thoughts.

I am 99.9% sure they would designate him at QB/WR.
