1993 Rule Change (No more WR @ RB)

I have delayed this as long as I can, but it's time for this rule to be implemented. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that's been here awhile, as I said this was coming down the pike a couple seasons ago.

All ball carriers must weigh at least 200 lbs It's a hard limit, meaning your 198 lb WR is not close enough to count..

This means players like Jake Peralta will either need to stop carrying the ball or be moved to RB so he can gain 2 lbs.

The 2 lbs may seem trivial, but it seems to me that most here want real RB's playing the position and are tired of 198 lb jack rabbits. These WR will likely gain 19 lbs if moved to RB, resulting in losing 3 units of speed on average.

We will all be playing by the same rules so this is not a disadvantage to anyone. This is also a weight rule, not a position rule, so if someone actually has a 200 lb WR, nothing needs to be done. You may also use QB, FB and/or TE as a RB since they all weigh over 200 lbs.
