Sometimes it's just really helpful to have the average weight (in lbs) of players at any particular position in front of you. I was using this, and thought someone else might want it handy.

Buggers to the above.
Unfortunately, MFN makes all players go to a static weight by position. Yes, weight can be impacted by permanently changing a players position... but quite quickly every rb is the same weight, every wr, etc. It sucks, frankly.
Which means, weight does not matter. With the exception of when one changes a player position, weight will move towards the game set weight for the position.
However, when drafting, I do keep this information in mind, and I hope it helps (5'9" WR can only play the SLOT! LMAO).

This has not been the case for a few versions. Each player has a hidden 'frame' attribute that will limit the amount that their weight can change.

It's better to put player weight in context with other attributes: https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/community/3/4277?page=1#27278

Thanks, I'd lost track of this. That's why OP.

nice read seth, thx again
I'd be using height by weight moving forward in the draft, but had not considered reversing my findings for the end of the draft.
Nifty. Love the math, as always.
