Parker Brailsford to be 2nd on the depth chart
fifth-round center Parker Brailsford could be the next man up behind Elgton Jenkins
Travis Etienne to be 1st on the depth chart
He and Alvin Kamara will share first team snaps of course by Etienne will receive most of the carries as he is fresher and younger than Kamara.
Ashton Jeanty to be 1st on the depth chart
Linderbaum's arrival will help their run game, which will lean on second-year pro Ashton Jeanty and could get a spark from rookie Mike Washington Jr.
- PendingJosh AlperDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jake Browning to be 2nd on the depth chart
Browning signed with Tampa in March and is expected to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Mayfield as long as he’s healthy.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 14, 2026 - PendingLiam DreesenDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Brandon Dorlus to be 1st on the depth chart
Dorlus now becomes the cornerstone of the pass rush after a semi-breakout season last year.

Samson Ebukam to be 1st on the depth chart
If Ebukam can return to his 2023 form, he will pencil in as a full-time starter with the ability to play the run and rush the passer.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 14, 2026 - PendingEthen HuttonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Mike Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
Should Jeanty face any sort of absence, Washington would be next in line to take on a significant workload

Ja'Kobi Lane to be 1st on the depth chart
The USC product will take on a starting role in his rookie season and should see promising volume early in his professional career.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 14, 2026 Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Mendoza has it, but Cousins look nice. And I think, again, he's gonna get the start. And unless he starts to have diminishing returns where his arm strength isn't there or his ability to move...
- PendingJake GibsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Greg Dulcich to be 1st on the depth chart
The Dolphins are currently all in on Greg Dulcich at the position, and he will be the day-one starter, but it gets inexperienced after that.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 14, 2026 Eku Leota to be 1st on the depth chart
further drops him below camp standout Eku Leota
Bam Knight to be 4th on the depth chart
With Bam Knight firmly in the RB4 spot
Jack Gibbens to be 1st on the depth chart
Gibbens tallied four tackles in his short stint on the field and has now put himself back into those starting conversations.
Denzel Burke to be 1st on the depth chart
He's very much in the mix to start opposite of Will Johnson and could be considered a favorite.
Jon Gaines II to be 2nd on the depth chart
Gaines is the second-team center, though now his versatility to play along any of the three inside OL spots sees him shoot up to a replacement for any of Arizona's three starters in the interior.
Karson Sharar to be a starter
He might have just surpassed Owen Pappoe on the ILB depth chart.
BJ Ojulari to be 2nd on the depth chart
Ojulari's inability to again make an impact further drops him below camp standout Eku Leota.
Corey Kiner to be 3rd on the depth chart
With Bam Knight firmly in the RB4 spot, Kiner seems to be surpassing the injured Trey Benson for the spot — ... for the spot below.
Tyson Bagent to be 2nd on the depth chart
Only one QB takes the starting reps when the games start to matter, and he won't be that guy for Chicago.
Riley Leonard to be 3rd on the depth chart
With Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles, the backup QB job is an important one in Indianapolis this year, and if Thursday night was any indication, Leonard might have just fallen behind Anthony Richardson.
