Every depth chart calls take
1–25 of 4,858
- PendingDominic PaguraDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Luke Wypler to be 1st on the depth chart
As of now, it can be assumed that Luke Wypler will start in place of Jenkins for Thursday night's game
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 29, 2026 - PendingDominic PaguraDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, who's been playing well enough to remain their starter moving forward
Deshaun WatsonCleveland Browns

Abdul Carter to be 1st on the depth chart
Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux will be the main contributors off the edge in Burns's absence.

Kayvon Thibodeaux to be 1st on the depth chart
Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux will be the main contributors off the edge in Burns's absence.
Kayvon ThibodeauxNew York Giants
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 29, 2026 Chase Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
Brown is still the RB1 in this backfield but has not popped off…yet. Remains a buy-low, especially if this Perine injury is something more serious.
Mack Hollins to be 1st on the depth chart
Maybe I was just a week too early on Mack "Money " Hollins being the No. 1 in this offense without A.J. Brown.
Keenan Allen to be 3rd on the depth chart
Add him and flip him, because I think he's still, at best, the No. 3 pass-catcher on this team.
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
he had zero second-half touches of any kind, even while still on the field for over a third of Arizona's snaps — Jeremiyah Love's backfield now, clearly.
Tyson Bagent to be 1st on the depth chart
However, with the depth chart as it is right now, the Bears may go with the opposite game plan: Start Bagent and turn to Keenum if needed.
J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick, likely his backup
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
with Jameis Winston serving as the team's starter and McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick, likely his backup.
Pat Bryant to be 2nd on the depth chart
Even if he is, Pat Bryant may be on his way to earning No. 2 WR honors in Denver.
- PendingJason KamlowskyDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jaylen Wright to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jaylen Wright slides into a backup role in Miami and is a deep-league add.

Ollie Gordon II to be 1st on the depth chart
Ollie Gordon II was the only other active running back on Miami's Week 2 roster and is projected to be the starter moving forward.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 29, 2026 - PendingJason KamlowskyDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Alvin Kamara to be 1st on the depth chart
Travis Etienne Jr. left Sunday's game with an apparent hamstring injury. Alvin Kamara is likely to get most of the work
Alvin KamaraNew Orleans Saints
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 29, 2026 Walter Rouse to be 1st on the depth chart
Rouse, primarily a tackle, has practiced at guard and will likely be the top choice this week.
Wade Woodaz to be 2nd on the depth chart
it was fourth-round rookie Wade Woodaz as the next man in line to claim those snaps at middle linebacker. So if Al-Shaair misses any time, the Clemson product appears to be the next man in line.
Jaden Crumedy to be 2nd on the depth chart
the Texans opted to go with Jaden Crumedy as their backup defensive tackle... might figure to have a short-term role on Houston's front seven until Kayden McDonald comes off injured reserve
Atonio Mafi to be 1st on the depth chart
If anyone looks like a potential candidate to replace Carmona until either he or Slater return, it's 25-year old G Atonio Mafi. That, however, is a mere guess based on the depth situation on Carmen Bricillo's line.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
They'll instead move forward with Murray—at least for 2026—before again looking to figure out their future at the position this coming offseason.
J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
So Jameis will start. McCarthy will learn. And then if McCarthy ends up playing and is good, then you just figure else whatever happens at the end of the year.
Bijan Robinson to be 1st on the depth chart
And then for Caleb, you know, he's out three to four weeks, with a grade two hamstring strain. So probably gonna miss time after this, and that would likely be Bajan next week.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
So Jameis will start. McCarthy will learn.
Carson Wentz to be 2nd on the depth chart
It makes the pecking order of Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz as the top two options crystal clear.
