WR in the backfield

[Griffeykid03]

Can anyone give me a list of formations that allow WR's in the backfield? I really would like to take advantage of Marquise Goodwin's speed!

Thanks

There are some "end arounds" and counters that have a slot WR taking a handoff in the backfield (but i cant think of a formation that allows you to put WRs in the backfield to begin the play...)

and EA fixed how guys used to audible down from 5 WR sets - into sets with RBs (which would shift WRs into the RB spot...) - so you cant pull that CHZ anymore - so glad they fixed the audible system - that is 1 aspect of M25 that EA got right!

You can make a WR your 3rd down back via the depth chart.

In my Rams franchise, I traded for Jahvid Best for that role. He predictably got hurt, so while he's out I have Tavon Austin filling that role.

Yep, Tavon at RB is boss.

Heh... found out the hard way that your 3rd down RB depth actually matters. Had my RB1 go down and Santana Moss was in my backfield on 3rd down trying to pretend like he knew what "off tackle" meant.
