Jaylen Samuels

[Dr.Graffin]

And now I see he's classified as a TE and RB on Fantasypros (which is what we use as our official position classification guide). This just keeps getting better and better.

[Dr.Graffin]

If you’re playing in yahoo, Samuels is available to be played in the TE spot and becomes an instant no brainer there

Just noticed...total no brainer.

[Multiple Scorgasms]

I own Samuels and was almost hoping Connor plays because I have a SERIOUSLY tough decision if Samuels is RB1. I mean not Samuels vs Chris Godwin or some other meh guy, I'd have to bench a guy like Diggs. Ughhhhhhh. But a PIT RB1 vs the Raiders of all teams? Man...

Wow, can you imagine being able to start him at TE in your Yahoo leagues? League mates will revolt w/ anger and jealousy.

[Phaded]

Why on earth would he be listed as TE.. Odd.

Anyhow, I have long said he is more talented than Conner. Now is his chance.

I remember him being drafted and some news articles saying the Steelers drafted TE J. Samuels. I recall instantly not being interested in a TE/RB hybrid until I watched a little tape.
He’ll be my starting TE this week in yahoo!

Maybe he gets more than one game, looks like conners ankle is worse than they thought.

He’s listed as a RB/TE hybrid because in college he was a gadgety player and played in both roles, as well as receiver, frequently. When drafted a few sources said he was a Te, not sure if that’s the position he declared as or not.

[M-Dub]

I’m pretty sure he was in the TE group at the combine as well. Regardless, I’m really looking forward to seeing him get a shot. Like Phaded, I’ve long held that he’s a superior talent to Conner. Hoping he proves me right.

[Life of Pablo]

Yep, my league is on Yahoo... and the #4 seed in the playoffs has top waiver priority. At least his starting TE is Kittle. I'd be pissed if it was someone like Burton or Rudolph lol.

[Valhalla]

I have little doubt he’s the better athlete and the better receiver. I think? he has the requisite vision and instinct to hit the holes in the run game, but I need to see it at the pro level before I say he can be as good of a typical runner as Conner (and I think Conner is over-hyped). If there is a next Bell, Samuels might be it. He’s that big high level receiving ability, flex all over the field type of weapon. Bell has a runner’s vision/instincts, though. I hope Samuels does too...as I bet on it in the rookie draft.

The Yahoo distinction is pretty interesting in redraft formats. Essentially allows you to start 4 RBs (assuming you flex).

[XclickX]

In one of my redraft leagues a team was holding Samuels just for this moment. Only 5 man benches too. That lucky mofo is rolling out 5 RBs this week( Samuels at TE and 2 RBs in both flex spots) and he is playing the Conner owner to boot.

Reminds me of when I won multiple leagues back in the day when Marques Colston was a rookie.

TSN and yahoo had him as a TE as that was where he was drafted, never converted him to WR, was basically starting another WR in the TE spot.

I just picked him up on waivers in my Yahoo league and I'm starting him over Uzomah which is a no brainer lol. Any chance Yahoo changes his TE classification before kickoff?
