I was the beneficiary of this, but it just seems wrong so filing as a bug.
CUST21, Memphis owner has not logged in since 6/19 and appears not to have set a K on his depth chart.
K (https://cust21.myfootballnow.com/player/4497) on the roster is 82/85. According to his player card he is not assigned any position on the depth chart.
When needing a K in the game, the AI did not select the best player on the roster for the job in both CUR and FUT rating as I would expect it to when filling a hole. Instead it decided to play the second best K on the roster:
WR (https://cust21.myfootballnow.com/player/1657) who is 27/51 as a K. According to his player card he is assigned as WR1 and Gunner7, so this doesn't appear to be an explicit decision by the owner.
