Depth Chart Setup

It’s up to you how you want to setup your depth chart

at the wide receiver position but I always have my

playmakers such as a Tavon Austin, Dez Bryant, Victor

Cruz, etc. in the slot. If you want to use a Tight end

select the TE Slot package.

QB1: Best throwing accuracy quarterback

RB1 & 3rd down running back: Best receiving back

WR1: Decent all around receiver with good hands

WR2: Decent all around receiver with good hands

WR3: Best playmaker

WR4 Or TE: Best playmaker

Pass Protection

I try not to block the running back because he is a

huge threat in the passing game and a check down

receiver. Usually I quick pass against a blitz but here

are some examples of when to block the running

back…

1. If it looks like they’re blitzing on 3rd or 4th and long

2. If you can’t beat a 5 man blitz without blocking the

running back

same reads against zone but the swing route is there in

case the flats are open. Do not throw to WR3 if there’s

a purple zone in his area.
