Both my running backs were questionable b4 late game which gave me no option than to play them as I wasn't prepared to kit up myself!!
They both seemed to have just as good game as normal - certainly not a shocker despite having leg injuries 40/50%.

I assumed they'd play a few snaps then pull out or play really slow like when you're limping etc.

Any ideas??

Any ideas? I have another questionable player...

They are not as effective and more likely to get hurt worse.. If you NEED him, play him. If not, let him get healthy

i, personally, keep no less than 4 rb's, and preferably 5, for exactly this situation.
In fact, being in this predicament taught me to explore players well below my self established "standards" of attribute ratings/weights - with positive results.
Definitely enhanced my experience as much as it sux being behind such an 8 ball in the first place. :)
Keep ballin'!

Thanks guys. Yes a bit of work needed on my running backs and run game for next season
