I think it has to do with a combination of things. Those guys in the thread are on the right track where if you only have 3 wrs on the chart then CPU guys will play on plays with 4-5 wrs and also some goal line playshave 3 tes.
As for the depth chart reordering that has to be because your chart when the sim starts is invalid. I think there are DC reqs where if you dont meet them then the sim will auto arrange it prior to simming. Back in the day I tried a scrimmage with a completely empty chart was disappointed that the chart was auto arranged in order to sim it. I imagine when it auto arranges that it doesn't discriminate between human and CPU players and that would explain why the play counts are all farked. I would recommend filling out the backup roles with CPU to meet the DC reqs and simply do 0/1 energy settings or do force starters for the whole game.
