RB Reception Cap

Last updated Jul 27, 2026

Running backs may account for no more than 20% of total team receptions.

  • Safety Valve badge exception: If the RB1 has the Safety Valve badge, the cap increases to 30%.
  • This mirrors real-world usage — even elite receiving backs (e.g., Bijan Robinson) average around 25–26%.
  • Review: Receptions are reviewed at season's end. Teams exceeding limits may face stat corrections or other penalties.
