rules clarification

Heading into off season, is the rule for not playing out of position going to be enforced moving forward? (WR at RB) so I know how to set up my team

yes. thank you for mentioning

starting with the 2076 season, every owner is expected to place a running back at RB1 in the depth chart

a wide receiver at RB2 or FB1 is permitted

i will be monitoring this as closely as i can. if you are aware of an owner out of compliance please notify me and i will give you a snitch badge

seriously though, please comply. MFN RO has swung wildly towards the run game with the new engine. i figured that the wide receivers who were getting a lot of carries would either become injured frequently or fumble often which would offset their speed advantage, but that hasnt happened. instead, we have seen them dominate games and yield inflated numbers. so for me it is either A) let it fly (fair game if everyone can do it, right?) or B) try to reign it in. since im managing this league i had to make decision and i believe reigning it in a bit is the way to go

also, please do not rotate a player back and forth between RB and WR. an easy loophole would be to convert a WR to RB for one game and then return him back to WR so his speed never dips. please do not do that

i do not like rules, but i feel that this is what is best for the league that i put significant time into. therefore, i must enforce this rule. anyone not in compliance will be given a chance to provide a reason

as g10rsh mentioned in a thread previously, it is a shame to see talented wide receivers have such minimal impact, but there isnt much we can do. i think it would be wise to convert your stud WR into an RB

I got a QB that can play HB, he’s gonna be my #2 or 3 HB is this okay or do I need to just move him if over to HB permanently? (If I want to use him as a HB)

if you use him at the backup I am sure it should be ok... but let commish say the final YES

Based on my players it looks like the base weight for a QB is higher than the base weight for a RB. So I don't think you would be getting any advantage from that even if they were to play rb1. Should be totally fine for backup rb if I'm understanding the spirit of the rules.

i just had a thought regarding the Maldonado rule (only running backs at RB1)

would it be possible for an owner to use overrides as a loop hole? seems it may be

please do not do that
