Every depth chart calls take
3101–3125 of 5,064
Alex Singleton to be 1st on the depth chart
He's not going to challenge starters Alex Singleton or Justin Strnad for their jobs
Robert Spillane to be 1st on the depth chart
behind starters Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss
Kamari Lassiter to be 1st on the depth chart
Players such as Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter and Jalen Pitre are not in danger of losing their jobs
Khalil Jacobs to be 2nd on the depth chart
As long as he can avoid a slump over the final weeks of camp, Jacobs should lock down a backup role alongside Chad Muma behind starters Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss.
Kahlil Benson to be 1st on the depth chart
a potential Week 1 starter at right tackle due to his consistent presence with the first team during practice
Justin Strnad to be 1st on the depth chart
He's not going to challenge starters Alex Singleton or Justin Strnad for their jobs
Derek Stingley Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Players such as Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter and Jalen Pitre are not in danger of losing their jobs
Rashid Shaheed to be 2nd on the depth chart
If he usurps Kupp as the WR2 in Seattle's offense
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
The rookie has strong potential to earn the RB2 job behind entrenched starter Christian McCaffrey
Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
a 60-40 split between Williams and Corum seems to be the most likely scenario to kick things off in 2026 ... Corum should be able to do enough damage to warrant flex consideration from his backup role
Jacoby Brissett to be 1st on the depth chart
they're going into the season with journeyman quarterback Jacoby Brissett as their starter
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Cousins starts the season, and rookie Fernando Mendoza finishes it, taking some lumps in the process.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
Cousins starts the season, and rookie Fernando Mendoza finishes it, taking some lumps in the process.
Kayshon Boutte to be 2nd on the depth chart
Boutte might not be perfect but would likely be their No. 2 right away.
Ladd McConkey to be 1st on the depth chart
rebound as the Los Angeles Chargers' No. 1 receiver
Makai Lemon to be 2nd on the depth chart
Makai Lemon an opportunity to emerge as the Philadelphia Eagles' No. 2 receiver
Bhayshul Tuten to be 1st on the depth chart
we project him to lead the group in touches
Chris Rodriguez Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
Chris Rodriguez Jr. could handle short-yardage situations, while LeQuint Allen Jr. might remain the preferred option on passing downs.
Terry McLaurin to be 1st on the depth chart
McLaurin should remain the clear No. 1 option in the passing game
Greg Dulcich to be 1st on the depth chart
That should give Dulcich a chance to operate as Miami's every-down tight end
Emeka Egbuka to be 1st on the depth chart
with Mike Evans gone, Egbuka has a real shot to operate as Tampa Bay's top target in 2026
Terrance Ferguson to be 3rd on the depth chart
it's very possible Ferguson settles in as the No. 3 target behind Puka Nacua and 33-year-old Davante Adams
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
Walker signed with the Chiefs during free agency and has a very clear path to feature back duties in a good offense.
Kenyon Sadiq to be 3rd on the depth chart
it's very possible he emerges as Geno Smith's No. 2 or 3 target this season
Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart
he very well could lead the Sean Payton and Bo Nix-led Denver offense in targets and catches
