Team Depth

Hey! 


I am quite new to the game, but I am absolutely invested in it. Although, I have some unanswered questions. First of all how important is team depth? I built a really great squad, 93+ players in every single second or third position even… Then I realised in few of my plays the secondary Free safety starts or ofc every DT is on the field not just the Dt1 and Dt2.

After that I have watched some videos on Theme teams and stuff and I built myself one. But to get 20/20 I needed some weaker players in some secondary positions…

What positions are essential? Do I need a second left and right tackle? Edge? Do I need all 5great Corner Backs? Where can I put the ‘fillers’? 

Cheers!

    You typically want at least 1 backup for each position in franchise (except kicker and punter)

    If you're running a 4-3 defense you need at least 2 starting DTs - I also keep 2 backups. If one is a run stuffing DT that isnt great at pass rush then I'll have 3 starting level DTs and move the run stuffer out of the depth chart in the "RDT" position. 

    For CBs, you need at least 2 starters that can play outside and a 3rd that can play in the slot in nickel formations. I usually have 3 backups behind them.

    For O line - I always carry a backup at each position on the line. You can leave out the backup center and use one of your backup guards for that if you want to free up a roster spot for other position depth.
