Here are the roster rules for the 2037 season on. Violations of these rules could lead to removal of the league. Mostly, these will serve as a general agreement for making the league more competitive.
1. All teams should have starters with players listed at the following positions and as close to default weight for position as possible. Minimum caps are listed in parentheses.
QB
RB1, RB2 (210)
FB1
WR
TE1, TE2 (245)
OL
DE1, DE2 (260)
DT1, DT2 (290)
SLB
MLB
WLB
CB
SS
FS
2. No WRs are allowed to play running back with the exception of the flex rule below.
3. No LBs are allowed to play DE.
4. DE can back up DT, but teams should must carry the minimum minimum number of starters at weight.
5. Backup LBs can all be WLBs as long as you have starters at position.
6. Backup DBs can all be CBs as long as you have starters at position.
Flex Rules
1. WRs can be substituted for a running back for the following formations: 104 all plays, 113 Shotgun, 203 Shotgun, 203 Split Backs. The reason why is that the running plays out of these formations are fairly limited and the RB1 often gets targeted as a top target in these formations. This will means WRs will some times end up with running yards, but these should be fair inconsequential. If players figure out how to abuse this rule in the running game, I'll pull it.
2. WRs can be substituted for TEs for the following formations: 014 all plays. The TE routes should be more effective than they are. TEs are still often overmanned in these formations because coverage still largely depends on speed.
3. RBs and FBs can be swapped to take advantage of the FB designed runs like the 212 Weak I FB Inside Weak. You can also run 2 RBs in the 212 Split Backs.
4. This one seems obvious, but I forgot to call it out. FB can flex to TE3.
