Rosters - Position eligibility requests 2025-26
Position eligibility requests for the 2025-26 season.
We will continue evaluating players for new positions going forward and make updates where appropriate.
Entire list of updated players for the 25/26 season: https://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/playerchanges?type=pos
As of 10/4/23, we added the option for Commissioners to award position eligibility to players that haven't earned it by Yahoo Fantasy's standards yet. Keep in mind, this tool will only allow commissioners to add positions, not edit or remove them. Commissioners can add new positions using the steps here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN7057.html

https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1629645/by-position?Matchup=OffenseI gave direct sources for the more unbelievable positions.
My source is NBA.com for each and every player listed and if I'm wrong I guess you'd believe the NBA is misinformed .

I provided links to their NBA page which states the amount of time they spend as a Guard or Forward.
Paolo Banchero plays Small Forward, Power Forward, and Center. https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1631094/by-position?Matchup=Offense
RJ Barret Plays small Forward and shooting Guard. https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1629628/by-position?Matchup=Offense
Cam Reddish Plays small Forward and shooting Guard. https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1629629/by-position?Matchup=Offense
Gordon Hayward plays small Forward and shooting Guard. https://www.nba.com/stats/player/202330/by-position?Matchup=Offense -

If Aleksej Pokusevski is SF/PF/C eligible than Paolo Banchero, OG Annunoby and Scottie Barnes should also have C eligibility added. Paolo basically plays backup C in some lineups. OG started at PF today, Scottie takes the tip as the C and both play C in games for the raptors long bois lineups. Please do the right thing.
Paolo - PF/C
OG - SG/SF/PF/C
Barnes - SF/PF/C -

how about the ability to further divide the updated list uo? I.e. top 100 players who have had an update, top 250, top 500. or 50, 150, 300. or however you choose to do it. but the vast majority of the players listed aren't fantasy relevant

Ben Simmons should at least have PF eligibility
Caris Levert should have SG and SF

Giannis should have SF eligibility, especially now with Middleton & Connaughton not healthy. He would have to play lower with Portis playing PF

He's had PF elibiligity for years. He is a positionless big. This makes fantasy game less fun.

Brandon Clarke should have C eligibility. Your own article on 10/16/2022 about his new contract extension says he is a F/C for Memphis

Ben Simmons is going to be starting PF for the Nets, but also see minutes as PG and even C (given the Nets' lack of depth on C position). Currently he only has PG/G eligibility. Please add PF/F asap at the very minimum, down the line (depending on usage) also C.

I could swear Kelly Olynyk originally had forward eligibility a couple of weeks ago - was it removed? Only after we drafted did I notice he was listed as C only, which hurts my team as I already have two other C-only players.

Caris LeVert is starting as SF, will play as SG at times. Please change eligibility to SG/SF. Thanks.

Add SG on Trae. He's going to play 2 when Dejounte's switched to 1.

I have 3 position eligibility concerns on my current team.
1. Fred VanVleet is only PG and not SG. Fred is poised to play a lot more off-ball this season with Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, and even Dalano Banton running the point. Removing his SG eligibility from last season is confusing.
2. Ben Simmons being only PG is odd. He's always been a Point Forward. He should have PF at the very least.
3. Bradley Beal no longer has SF. Will Barton has SG/SF eligibility on Washington, but Beal only has SG. Seems odd to me since they'll likely be sharing each role.
