I would say 80-85% of all owners play this game "Straight" but you will always have those who will do whatever it takes to win....hence the custom rules I spoke of before.

I wish the game would play straight but it just doesn't because some owners won't allow it.
Cj, are you suggesting that playing a WR at RB or RB at WR is "not realistic" ? I am a big proponent of running WR's from RB and vice versa. The reason some GM's might find it "unrealistic" are probably the same GM's that don't think twice about starting a FS at WLB etc.
You put the your best players in a position to help you win at all times.....that imho is very realistic....otherwise, why play the game to begin with ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Aa2UuAM59gIt's not the fact that WR play RB exactly but more the simple fact that a WR at RB is just faster and less weight then a RB....period.
The question becomes why have RBs, FBs or TEs period when you can make them all WRs where they become faster, thus more effective. Playing at 191-198 lbs at RB, FB or TE doesn't effect injury to a great extent.
This became a problem when after a players initial training camp....certain owners made everyone a WR then played them at all the skill positions.
A 245 lb FB with 80 speed and 90 run/pass block and 85 strength became a 198 lb WR with 86/87 speed and 90 run block/pass block and 85 strength who still played FB.
A WR can certainly play at RB and even in the NFL it occurs but Samuel and Patterson are well over 200 lbs, and unique in their ability to take the punishment. Hill is smaller and can be used on jet sweeps.
The difference is when you take a 95 speed 198 WR and he gets 20+ carries like he is Henry, running between the tackles...he should get injured quickly or at least be slowed down from the cumulative hits but that's not the case no matter what Raymattison claims.
And yes playing DBs at linebacker and even on the defensive line is another exploit used by some owners
