I'm not meaning to pick on Arizona, it's just that I noticed Arizona had a strange roster construction when I looked to see why a WR was carrying the ball. While there are no rules regarding roster construction other than to have an active K and P along with enough RB to make sure no WR carry the ball, the Wranglers roster makes no sense to me.
They have 4 QBs, and 3 WR to go with 3 RB, 6 FB/TE and just 8 OL. Why does any team need 4 QB? And how do you think having only 3 WR is gonna work? Why would the AI take 1 of those 3 WR and have him run the ball when there are 3 RB and 2 FB to hand off to?
Again, there is no rule violation here for roster construction, I just thought it odd, and I'm curious what else I'll find across the league.

My positional breakdown for a 100 injury league.
QB 2 RB/FB/TE 8 WR 5 OL 12 P 1 K 1 DL 7 LB 8 DB 9
I list RB, FB & TE together because they are interchangeable.
I carry 12 offensive linemen so I have a backup at all 5 positions plus a 3rd center and 3rd guard/tackle.
That leaves
27 offense 2 special teams 24 defense
Obviously you can drop an OL and add a DL if you want to make the offensive & defensive split closer at 26-25.
When setting your depth chart for RB, list all your RBs first then your FBs, TEs or possible QBs so you have at least 6 players on your RB depth chart and the A.I. doesn't have a chance to substitute a WR at RB by mistake.
Just sharing how I do it....it's not the only way and I would love to hear how others do it but when you have a rule where no WRs can run the ball, you must have enough active depth at RB to avoid the A.I. putting you in violation.
I carry less defensive players because I use LBers as deep depth for DL, DBs as deep depth for LBs. I almost always carry a minimum of 9 DBs so I have 5 CBs, 2 SS & 2 FS.

I usually carry more DL and less LB. Even on my 3-4 defense teams I rarely use my 6th LB, so at most I'll have 7 for depth.
