I don't know exactly how many players are needed, especially since I have never played the 2K series, but I assume it is similar to an actual football roster. An NFL roster has a maximum of 45 active slots, the breakdown usually goes something like this:

QB: 3
HB: 2-3
FB: 1-2
TE: 2-3
WR: 5
T: 3-4 (Usually go with 2 per side)
G: 3-4 (Usually go with 2 per side)
C: 2
--------
DE: 3-4 (Usually go with 2 per side)
DT: 3-4
OLB: 3-4 (Usually go with 2 per side)
MLB: 2-3
CB: 5-6
FS: 1-2
SS: 1-2
---------
P: 1
K: 1

Hope this helps you Homer.
