As the title says, I am pretty much running without a fullback. He has like 30 speed, so by the time he hits the line, I have passed him. Tried suggesting a boost to speed, it is being trained...

I averaged 5 YPC at 21, while the backup back did about 6.2 at 16 as a power back.

Will I be able to perform solo when I get my build in line?

Yes you can go solo. But you better be a bad bad man in a league of awful linebackers.

The Fullback is damn near key to running the ball. Mine picks up the first person that would tackle me on nearly EVERY play.

Nice, just picked up a FB with 46 speed, so I shouldn't be beating him to the line anymore! I figured the FB was a big deal, and it seems I was right. Hopefully, I can start performing better.

THe drawback to FBs (I own 2) is that they need good vision to "choose" the biggest threat to the HB. But vision can get attention other than training at around level 22. Thats when i really started to get the vision higher than 30.

A couple points every level up once you reach level 21 should be fine.

And CORRECT, a hall of fame FB with a good eusive runner (even a level 19 in a league of high 20s and low 30 players) will have a high average (around 4.5-5.5).

Also, knowing which plays have the best FB pathings for blocking would help (can anyone say off tackle). I noticed that early in the season, because the pitch plays sucked against fast LBs, and the off tackle rn works like a pitch except the HB doesn't freeze in the backfield and the transition from the Hb getting the ball to him running is a lot smoother.

A good FB is an amazing asset to a HB. My team had a great FB, and on a majority of runs that were for big gains or TDs, he was making key blocks to open up a hole.

Too bad he decided he wanted a trade and he's no longer on our team.
