Pederson has used his TEs - other RBs - and additional linemen as lead blockers / de facto fullbacks quite a bit this season. 

I like having a FB, but with this coach's offensive philosophy, it a'int gonna happen.

Bal., Tampa , SF, Pittsburgh. HOU etc.  A lot of teams still use a FB.  They're not used as much as they used too.  He'll, the last time we used one we were 5 min from the SB and the number 1 run team in the league.  Our run game would potentially be the best in the league if we had a FB imo.  This oline is built to run the football

The issue is you can't have a one-dimensional FB anymore, because then he basically becomes another offensive lineman/blocking TE and limits the creativity of the offense.

Now a guy with a skill set like Kyle Juszczyk would probably work, and I could easily see Pederson still using that type of player in multiple formations including say as wideback or not inline TE.

But he would need to be found in the offense have a package dedicated to using his versatility and blocking to justify him taking a roster spot.
