The AI won't set your depth chart unless you are below the minimum or above the maximum of active players or roster count. What happens is that the AI takes your depth chart, then has a backup depth chart in case your depth chart fails. If your depth chart is empty, then it will fail - so the AI will make decisions as to who will play, but it won't be as intelligent as it would have been if you had loaded the recommended depth chart.
That's sounds correct, but I assumed the backup depth chart would have chosen a kicker in that place as the kicker was still available to choose from. As I only sets my weights before the allocation and the rest of the AI choices for positions seem to have accuracy and merit, but a WLB to kick seems like a bug or at least 2534 on the list of to dos.
So if you do not set a kicker as a reserve kicker for preseason the back up/ default depth chart will be played across all formations? Again I am assuming this fires again as starters are being pulled because it is preseason and also under the pull starters option for regular season blow out games?
Basically, think of an empty depth chart as 'undefined.' I'll have to look and see why your kicker was not chosen in that situation, WarEagle is right he should have at least scored best. Ideally, though, you should at least load the recommended depth chart so you have some measure of predictability. The AI will never actually fill your depth chart like it will your game plan
