How do you guys use read option this year?

[greenbuk75]

It seems it went from ridiculous last year to next to nothing now when the qb keeps it, having le'veon bell on inside power handoffs are fine, but if the qb keeps it I get blown up in the backfield every play even with 88 spd qb

Works pretty realistic for me.

I guess I never run this play because I don't know how to not keep the ball as the QB...How do you hand it off?

hold down X (PS4)/A (XBOX) before the hand off would occur.

I feel like whenever I run the read option, the DE never chases the RB, so my QB can't kill them with his legs. It's frustrating LOL.

I have the opposite problem, the DE always crashes down the line so I have room to run for my QB.

The DE crashes on the running back or focuses on the QB based on your playcalling. If you aren't calling run plays, just spamming the read option, then no, the DE won't bite. But if you are mixing up your playcalling, and calling more run plays, and successfully, then the DE will bite on the RB, allowing you to go out the back side with the QB.

I run the read option rather successfully in my 32 man online franchise. But like any other play, you have to know when to call it, and read the defense.
