You have to divide the qb number by 2.

I think this came up in past years with RBs as receivers…

But seeing Terelle Pryor’s rushing performance yesterday, and how he currently leads the league in rushing, could we pick him as an RB in future weeks?

Yes. Oak wanted to play someone out of position and the consensus was you can pick any player you want for each statistic.

Embarrassing

QB Jay Cutler  
WR Larry Fitzgerald  
RB CJ Spiller

Cutler 242 yards equals 121  
Larry Fitzgerald equals 80 yards  
CJ Spiller 41 yards

121 + 80 + 41 is 242

Used: Cutler, Fitzgerald. Spiller

QB Michael Vick  
RB LeSean McCoy  
WR DeSean Jackson  
As far as I know, there are no rules about starting all 3 players from a single team. I expect the Eagles to have a monster game.
