Player Position Map Changes?

[dtcarls]

Should we consider breaking down the various flex positions in the player position map?

For example, when a player is in the 'Flex' spot they are returned with RB/WR/TE but the Offensive Player Utility (OP) slot is returned with OP instead of RB/WR/TE/QB

The same can be said for the defensive player flexes as outlined on this espn support page. Specifically, Defensive Back (DB): can be CB/S and Defensive Player Utility (DP) can be DT/DE/LB/CB/S

Interesting, so are you thinking the flex spot would have like Flex/RB or would specify the players main position?

I found a work around for what I was trying to accomplish, just seems to be a small inconsistency between different Flex types. I found this while working with player.slot_position which leads to the examples listed above.

It has the potential to break some backwards compatibility if anyone is utilizing player.slot_position as currently implemented.
