JD If the game is running a screen pass.Will our best rb with hands be in the game?Is it only going too our #1 rb on the depth chart?What about deep passes?Is our fastest WR being used?Does this only go back too ranking on the depth Chart?Certain play situations in the game i would like too set my depth chart for certain formations.Even on def with pass rushers on certain def sets.Would it be possible too break the formations down by off and def depth charts in the future for us?

The targets for any pass play are based on the depth chart with probability going to the #1 players in your depth chart - so your #1 WR will get the most targets. Other factors are the depth of the pattern (i.e. if it's a short pass and your #1 WR running a fly, the probability that he will be target is greatly reduced, conversely a long pass play will have a low probability that a TE running a short route would be targeted).

You can already override players based on the formation - in the depth chart go to the "depth chart overrides" tab and drag players into the positions based on the formations. They will be treated as the #1 position in the depth chart for that formation, if they are unavailable (due to fatigue or injury) then your depth chart will be used.
