thanks
First of all, Archetype doesn't matter for the Out Of Position Penalty. All that matter is position. A blocking FB, a scat FB, and a rushing FB will all receive the same OOP penalty for playing at TE.
As for the penalty itself, well, nobody knows. Bort and Catch have never released the exact numbers. But we do know that the penalty gets worse the further away a dot gets from their natural position. A C can probably play G or OT without too bad of a penalty, but I wouldn't try them at WR.
I've used FBs at TE before without too much trouble. Probably best to just get more TEs if possible though, unless all that is available is TERRRRRRRRRIBLE TEs or you're that desperate for depth chart slots.
