For example, playing a Center as a Left Guard won't result in much of a penalty. Playing a player out of his natural position results in a hit to his overall abilities, but it's usually not dramatic as long as the positions are similar. The offensive line is its own group, the defensive line is its own group, and so on. For example, QBs, Ks, and Ps are in the same group and can be slotted into each other's positions. Players cannot be slotted into any random position on a depth chart: they are assigned informal groups based on their roles. It'll give the rookie a chance to start gaining XP for his performance, and you'll likely be keeping him around a lot longer. For example, if you have a veteran MLB and a rookie MLB, you may want to consider making them #1 and #2, even if there's another guy on the roster with better ratings. You may also want to consider moving up a rookie if he's replacing an old player, especially if you have depth at that position. For WRs, this is most obvious with speed and possession: oftentimes, your WR with the best Catching rating will be your #1, and your fastest WR will be your #2 or #3 even if his overall rating is better. Especially for positions that require two players or more for a formation, such as WRs or CBs, it may make sense to put a lower rated player higher in the depth chart. You can use this to your advantage if you are manually adjusting your depth chart. Tom Brady may be a highly rated QB, but he'll have an extremely low overall rating when you're viewing Kickers and Punters. The overall ratings are subject to adjustments based on the position you're viewing. The AI will try to sort the players based on their overall ratings while still respecting the team's scheme or play style. If you don't want to deal with the depth chart, you can press Triangle/Y on the screen to have the AI do it for you. If a position is blank, such as if only one FB is on the chart and he gets injured, the AI will automatically assign the next best player based on their Overall ability score. As such, an FB will be the starter FB in the depth chart, but the #2 and #3 FBs will likely be TEs. Some teams don't utilize the fullback much, and a tight end can often take his place with similar results. It works the other way too: if there are plays you call rarely or never, you can change the depth chart to reflect that. In the pause menu, you can then take him out entirely, move everyone else up a spot, and put the seventh guy in the bottom slot. Then during a game, your starter gets injured and has to be removed from the game. Let's say you have 7 WRs, and you set your best six. However, you can still have more people than the depth chart allows, since you can swap them in during games. That is, you can only set a maximum of three QBs, six WRs, and so on. The depth chart's depth is finite by position. If you tend to call a lot of Nickel or Dime formations on Defense, then you'll want to have far more cornerbacks than you're required to have. Exact numbers are up to you, but consider what plays you frequently call and the personnel behind them. For that, you need to understand your personal play style more than anything else. Minimums are rigid, but they should not serve as a guide to maintaining proper depth.
Note that you can view the overall counts of your roster, including minimum counts by position, in the My Team | Team Needs screen, as shown below. The third QB is unlikely to ever see a game. While the backup QB is used as the holder for field goal attempts, it's unlikely he'll see much other use. For example, every team is required to have two active QBs, and many teams choose to have three. Every roster requires a certain number of people at every position, even if you may not see them on the field. Ostensibly, the depth chart serves as a ranking system to ensure that your roster has enough personnel to cover for emergencies.
