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

Chimezie Metu should have C position eligibility. According to Basketball Reference, he plays C on 32% of his playing time.

Ricky Rubio has been sharing the backcourt with Garland for the entire time that Sexton has been out but hasn't gotten his SG eligibility yet. Please add Ricky Rubio as PG/SG on the next update.

Make that now 11 games (9 straight) that Lebron has STARTED as PF. How is this not enough proof?

Yahoo why did you merge the Lebron PF eligibility post here? Yet you are letting other position eligibility requests for other players stay active? How can you expect people to vote for Lebron when everything is combined here? Seems like you purposely don’t want to see all the votes and comments for the Lebron request since you really don’t want him to be PF despite all the evidence that has been provided. Messed up Yahoo. Please escalate this to management for further review since I have seen you guys approve players for a position after 3 games of starting but I have never seen you not approve a guy who has started 8 games in a row. Doesnt make any sense at all. Why are you against Lebron that much?

Look at all the comments and see how many others feel Lebron should be PF. If Yahoo really evaluates players for new positions *fairly* and make updates where *appropriate*, then there should be no reason to NOT make Lebron PF eligible just because you don’t want him to have 4 positions. That’s not a reasonable answer if he qualifies for it. He even started the LAST 8 games as PF (total 10 this season) so your data providers can’t say there’s not enough evidence when there clearly is. Even if you need to remove 1 position so that he doesn’t have 4, I would take that sacrifice but main point is he should be PF and it is not fair that you are choosing to ignore the update.
Every Game Lebron started as PF in 2021-2022

Please reconsider asap since this should have been done alone time ago.

Chimezie Metu to get C eligibility - having him be PF/C instead of C only

LeBron has been starting as the PF in recent lineups with Anthony Davis out - Westbrook/Ellington/THT as the 1-3.

Saddiq Bey is playing at PF positions in absence of Jerami Grant so it will continue as well.
Please add PF position. Thanks!

When will Alec Burks receive PG eligibility? He is still listed as SG/SF even though he has been the Knicks starting PG for several weeks.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (OKC) needs PF/C positions.
He always plays either PF or C.
Thank you guys! -

Is there a certain number of games a player needs to start at a position to gain that eligibility? By Yahoo's own box score count Lebron James has started at PF in 4 games (see below) but yet still does not have PF eligibility. The slowness on the positional update is almost killing my squad as much as Bron missing a bunch of games this year. Does the eligibility flip on at 5 starts?
Games Where Bron has started at PF
https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers-indiana-pacers-2021112411/
https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers-boston-celtics-2021111902/
https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/houston-rockets-los-angeles-lakers-2021110213/
https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/houston-rockets-los-angeles-lakers-2021103113/Edit: It looks like in these games Yahoo has incorrectly pegged Kent Bazemore or Talen Horton-Tucker as the starting PF when clearly that is not the case. Both of those players are SF's.
Another start at PF tonight:

Herb Jones plays most of his minutes at PF so he should be a PF https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/joneshe01.html
