Copied from one of my previous Yahoo answer:
Back before the NFL draft in April, one seemingly "inconsequential" line on the NFL.com Draft Analyzer stated that Colston was the biggest WR at the combine and might be best suited for the NFL as a TE. The Saints drafted him and clearly play him as a WR opposite Horn. Yahoo decided to make him WR eligible BUT NOT REMOVE his TE-elegibility. Bad move. What happened then was Week 2 (and beyond) Colston began to light it up. Smart fantasy owners know that, as a WR, he will outproduce ANY tight end so they stick him in the TE slot. Meanwhile the other owners of your league get to start Dallas Clark (or someone like that) for TE and of course, Colston outperforms your TE. Yahoo screwed up and got themselves in a corner. They can't remove the TE-designation because it would upset Colston owners. But, by allowing him to be a TE, they put EVERY OTHER OWNER IN YOUR LEAGUE at a disadvantage (because you start a real tight end) and YOUR LEAGUE IS NOT VALID if someone is using Colston as a TE. Yahoo screwed up, your league is paying for it.
Check out the site below. That one little line about Colston written in April is messing up thousands (maybe millions) of leagues across the nation. Yahoo screwed up. I can only suggest you get all of your other owners to write Yahoo and maybe they'll fix it.
To give you a sense of how statistically wrong this is -- in my league the top 25 TE (minus Colston) average about 3 points per game. Colston is averaging 9. Thus, every time an owner in our league uses Colston as a TE, not only is that owner actually starting 4 WRs instead of a TE and 3 WRs, that owner is getting about a 6 point head start. One game already out of the four weeks played so far would have been lost for this owner had he had to start his other TE. Oddly enough, it's pro-bowler Gates.

Its really not to far off for him to have dual eligability. I watched Colston line up in the tight end slot half the game against Atlanta, and the other half he was lined up as a wide out. He is what you can call a Hybrid Tight End. Most people you see that are upset about this desicion by yahoo, more then likely dont have him and wish they did. Football is simply evolving and trying new things, that are obviusly working. Welcome to the next evolution in Tight Ends.

Take advantage, you'll get the same points in either slot, so put him in the TE spot because if he does more WR stuff than TE youll get more points than most TEs
