D-Lineman goalline/short yardage back..

This past Sunday, Akiem Hicks lined up as RB and rammed the ball il n for a TD. A bit silly, but is there a way to do that in M19? I think i remember a few maddens ago that it was possible, but don't remember how.

I don't believe so , unless @equipment_guru has specifically placed him on the depth chart at a secondary position by overriding the restrictions placed on users
This is a pity as it's far from uncommon for defensive players to be used as FBs ( specifically DTs or LBs) as less and less teams carry a FB on the roster
An example of 'sim' players suffering as a result of restrictions put in place to counter exploits from the online/competition crowd unfortunately
I can't see any reason why depth chart restrictions should need to be applied in CFM though, as house rules should cover this for online leagues and for offline it should be user choice

I tend to view these things differently. I've played madden long enough to know that even if I can put my 478lb DT as a FB, in this game, he'll still be easily tackled by a 95lb DB.

So as far as I am concerned, if the game allows that to happen, giving me the ability to put that DT as a FB is nothing more than yet another 'cute' addition. So if you want to put the DT in there as nothing more than to have the DT there, then honestly, just save it and give me something that matters.

But I fully understand that's just me... I've seen threads where people clamored for different belt buckles.

Your point would be better made without the needless exaggeration

The closest I've found is in a split back formation, you can replace the TE in the backfield with linebackers. So I was dicking around with Roquan Smith in the backfield lmao

If only every player had a secondary position that we could assign to players like we can in MLB The Show.

You say that now, but it will inevitably lead to absurd results.

You can also make your WRs as RBs. I’m not sure if you can do it in the franchise menu, but you are able to put RBs as WRs in the depth chart. I gave up my Xbox one for my daughter to get a switch so I don’t really remember. You might even be able to put RBs as WRs in formation subs. It was my work around for moving WR to RB in certain formations.
