Every depth chart calls take
2601–2625 of 5,045
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
thrusting him up to QB1 after that performance would be premature ... the best way to usher a young quarterback into the NFL is to have him begin the season behind an established veteran
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Raiders will start Fernando Mendoza in Week 1 — Overreaction ... head coach Klint Kubiak even acknowledged recently that the QB1 job for Week 1 is Cousins' to lose.
Drew Allar to be 2nd on the depth chart
Drew Allar is the future QB1 in Pittsburgh — Overreaction ... it's far too early to pencil him in as QB1 in 2027
Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart
If the two play at the level they did last season, Stevenson should remain the primary back
Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart
Skattebo remains the favorite to lead the team in carries, but his workload could be significantly less secure than it was during his four-game stretch as the starter last season.
Matthew Golden to be 4th on the depth chart
He is likely fourth in the target order behind Watson, Reed and tight end Tucker Kraft, but there is room to climb if he plays well.
Malik Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington were the clear top two wide receivers with the starters.
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
Love started this game, suggesting he is already ahead of Allgeier on the depth chart.
Omar Cooper to be 4th on the depth chart
Omar Cooper Jr. doesn’t play with the starters: New York’s rookie wide receiver appears to be fourth on the depth chart.
Caleb Douglas to be 2nd on the depth chart
Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington appear to be the top wide receivers on the Dolphins‘ depth chart.
Isaiah Bond to be 4th on the depth chart
The later rotation also reinforced Bond’s standing as the top backup... If any of Cleveland’s top three wide receivers miss time this season, Bond appears most likely to see a significant increase in snaps.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
a two-man backfield could push more of his work toward passing downs while Brooks handles the bulk of the rushing opportunities. That type of split would likely make Brooks the more valuable fantasy back of the two.
Josh Downs to be 1st on the depth chart
Downs will operate as Indianapolis' top wide receiver in camp until Pierce returns.
Parker Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
Even with all of that competition, Washington and Thomas are expected to enter the season as the Jaguars' top two wide receivers.
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
There is some risk that Monangai improves enough to take on a larger role, but Swift graded notably better as a runner, receiver and pass blocker last season, making a significant shift in playing time unlikely.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
With Nick Chubb gone, Woody Marks is Montgomery's primary competition for touches ... That leaves Montgomery with a clear path to his largest workload in years.
Amon-Ra St. Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
As the Lions' No.1 offensive weapon, he forces defensive playcallers to make tough decisions
Geno Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
Smith is expected to be the Jets' starting quarterback for much of the season.
Rashan Gary to be 1st on the depth chart
With Rashan Gary locked into one of the starting outside linebacker jobs and Donovan Ezeiruaku emerging in his second year as a situational starter, there is no obvious full-time spot for Miller atop the depth chart.
Alec Pierce to be 1st on the depth chart
Alec Pierce : Indy's WR1 put on cleats and was a minimal participant for the first time this offseason
Cam Taylor-Britt to be 4th on the depth chart
Veteran newcomer Cam Taylor-Britt has proven to be the next man up outside of the Colts' starting trio of Sauce Gardner, Charvarius Ward Sr., and Justin Walley
C.J. Allen to be 1st on the depth chart
The rookie linebacker is still expected to start in Week 1's regular-season opener against the Baltimore Ravens
Blake Grupe to be 1st on the depth chart
Blake Grupe continues to separate in practice... At this point, it's Grupe's job to lose.
Ethan Pocic to be 3rd on the depth chart
Both players have been career backups and depth players for their previous teams and are clearly ahead of 10th-year veteran Ethan Pocic, who didn't enter the preseason opener until the fourth quarter with the third-team offensive line.
Jovaughn Gwyn to be 1st on the depth chart
While Danny Pinter has been taking all of the first-team reps in camp thus far, that will likely change moving forward after the impressive outing that Jovaughn Gwyn had against the Eagles... Gwyn might not only get to start next week's road exhibition bout against the Minnesota Vikings, but he could also get his first practice reps with Lamar Jackson and the first-team offense
