Every depth chart calls take
2526–2550 of 5,045
Zach Frazier to be 1st on the depth chart
The left side of the offensive line is set, with Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier comprising a smart, tough and physical trio.
Jalen Ramsey to be 1st on the depth chart
a veteran secondary should give Graham options, with Jalen Ramsey, who will play the star (or nickel) spot
Mason McCormick to be 1st on the depth chart
The left side of the offensive line is set, with Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier comprising a smart, tough and physical trio.
Spencer Anderson to be 1st on the depth chart
At right guard, Spencer Anderson has done a good job. He's smart and can be at least a stopgap until rookie Gennings Dunker, who's starting to ascend, is ready.
Justin Strnad to be 1st on the depth chart
the two locked-in veteran starters ahead of him, Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad
Alex Singleton to be 1st on the depth chart
His path to immediate playing time is also restricted by the two locked-in veteran starters ahead of him, Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad.
Jadan Baugh to be 1st on the depth chart
He looks like a future NFL starter and could turn into an excellent pro.
Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart
It's hard to convince yourself at this point that the Steelers don't have the nine-year veteran as their QB2 with a notable gap between he and Howard.
Drew Allar to be 1st on the depth chart
it's hard to imagine Allar not being the lead candidate to start for the Steelers next season
Jabbar Muhammad to be 5th on the depth chart
he did show enough to think that he has solidifed his spot as the Jaguars' No. 5 cornerback
Dante Trader Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Projected starter Dante Trader Jr. was back at practice Monday, and even though he was held out of team periods could be close to making a full return.
Malik Nabers to be 1st on the depth chart
Nabers will likely step in and work as Jaxson Dart's No. 1 target, soaking up volume and opening the field for everyone else.
Jaylin Noel to be 1st on the depth chart
When he's back to 100%, he'll have a route to finding notable snaps as Houston's slot receiver, especially deeper into the season.
Breece Hall to be 1st on the depth chart
Giving Allen an expanded role would also allow the Jets to ease Hall back into the RB1 job once he returns.
Braelon Allen to be 2nd on the depth chart
Allen is more than capable of leading a backfield... Those would be fantastic RB2 numbers.
Alex Forsyth to be 1st on the depth chart
It wouldn't be a shock if the plan is for Forsyth, the club's primary backup center, to run with the first-team offense on Friday night — that is, unless Wattenberg has a sudden return to full activity during team periods of practice this week.
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
He'll still be Willis' backup, only playing if Willis gets hurt.
Quinn Ewers to be 2nd on the depth chart
Chances of bouncing back: Medium. He'll still be Willis' backup, only playing if Willis gets hurt.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
The Falcons are still without Michael Penix Jr. in game settings as his knee rehab continues, meaning Tagovailoa is the de-facto QB1 in a pretty dismal quarterback competition.
Malachi Fields to be 3rd on the depth chart
the top three spots are likely going to him, Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields
Malik Nabers to be 1st on the depth chart
Assuming Malik Nabers is healthy, the top three spots are likely going to him, Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields.
Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart
He's not even likely to be Rodgers' backup, an honor that probably will go to veteran Mason Rudolph.
Darnell Mooney to be 2nd on the depth chart
the top three spots are likely going to him, Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
But let's start with the Raiders. Fernando Mendoza will be the Raiders' starting quarterback by Halloween... We'll put by November.
Carnell Tate to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm not even talking about Cardinal Tate. We expect him to be the one
