When it's Aldon Smith, apparently

On the 49'ers DC, he's an OLB
On the nfl.com player page, he's an OLB
On the nfl.com fantasy football site, he's a DL

Compare this with Demarcus Ware :-

On the Cowboys DC, he's a JLB (Jack LineBacker)
On the nfl.com player page, he's an OLB
on the nfl.com fantasy football site, he's an LB

I find it curious that fantasy footy has Ware as an LB whereas they have Smith as a DL ...... to me, they both perform a very similar role for their respective teams.

On nfl.com fantasy football more OLBs are listed as DL.

Both Cardinal OLBs Acho and Schofield are DL in fantasy football.

I think important is on which position the players are listed on the teams official homepage.
