I didn’t see any notes pre-season on corresponding rule changes, so it should be close enough.

If it is like every other organization that made this change, it is a name change only; no change in the actual rule.

Because unless DP plays defense for FLEX, no one has either entered or left the game. DP playing defense for any other player is just a defensive position swap, similar in effect to bringing in your F7 to pitch and putting the previous F1 out in left.
