Every depth chart calls take
2976–3000 of 5,062
- PendingAaron WilsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Keylan Rutledge to be 1st on the depth chart
First-round pick Keylan Rutledge will start at center.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 13, 2026 - PendingAaron WilsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Noah Whittington to be 1st on the depth chart
UDFA Noah Whittington will start at RB.
Noah WhittingtonHouston Texans
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 13, 2026 Jarrian Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
it feels like he has earned himself a starting gig in Week 1
BJ Green II to be 3rd on the depth chart
I thought Danny Striggow was a lock to win the DE3 job for the Jaguars in training camp, but so far it has seemed like that role belongs to B.J. Green.
Quintin Morris to be 4th on the depth chart
the Jaguars clearly have both of their rookie tight ends Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol ahead of him in the pecking order. He looks like he is firmly on the roster bubble.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
The Raiders will unveil their No. 1 overall pick, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, with veteran Kirk Cousins expected to begin the season as a starter.
Mitchell Trubisky to be 2nd on the depth chart
At this point, Levis would have to tally a near-perfect preseason, one without any turnovers and with consistent, efficient play to beat out Trubisky for the backup job.
J.J. McCarthy to be 3rd on the depth chart
but he's probably going to be the third string quarterback come week one behind Wentz
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
It's interesting that Kirk Cousins is going to start probably week one
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
The thing I would look for if he gets a chance to play early my senses and might be cousins being the starter week one.

Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
but Seattle drafted Price to be its feature back... Price is set up for immediate volume
Jadarian PriceSeattle Seahawks
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 13, 2026 Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
I think Brooks dislodges Chuba Hubbard from the lead-back role by mid-October
- PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
Walker is going to be the workhorse for an offense that has the potential to be elite.
Kenneth Walker IIIKansas City Chiefs
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 13, 2026 Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
Pollard remains the clear leadback for the Titans entering the 2026 season... Brian Daboll... has historically ridden one running back... and Pollard looks to be that guy this season.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
He will get the majority of reps with the starters throughout the rest of training camp/preseason, giving him a chance to cement himself as RB1 in Carolina.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
That one fact would seem to clear the path for Tua to start in Week 1 ... it certainly feels like Tua is in the driver's seat right now.
Seth McLaughlin to be 1st on the depth chart
The Lions were expecting Cade Mays to start at center this year, but he's out for 8 to 10 weeks after breaking his wrist, so McLaughlin is likely going to have to step in
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
live game reps are where a player learns the most. This will be his only chance to experience those live reps before he's thrown into the starting lineup at some point this season.
Michael Pittman to be 2nd on the depth chart
Pittman comes in as not only a clear-cut second option for Aaron Rodgers
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
I expect to see several starts from Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson ... this season in Cleveland.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
I expect to see several starts from Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson ... this season in Cleveland.
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
Same for Jacoby Brissett and Beck in Arizona.
Chase Bisontis to be 1st on the depth chart
second-round pick Chase Bisontis should start right away at guard
Jacoby Brissett to be 1st on the depth chart
Same for Jacoby Brissett and Beck in Arizona.
