Jacoby Brissett to be 1st on the depth chart
Brissett will likely begin the season as the starter

Daniel Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
It's hard to say where it all leaves Richardson. Jones is without any question the Colts' starter.

Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
The Titans don't have major competition to his workload — Tyjae Spears struggles to stay healthy and rookie RB Nicholas Singleton was merely a fifth-round pick.

Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
The Rams could turn this backfield into a 60-40 split for the fresh season, which would give Corum standalone value from the jump.

Jaylen Warren to be 1st on the depth chart
Aaron Rodgers leans on his RBs in the passing game, and Warren checks that box more emphatically than new teammate Rico Dowdle. Warren is also a superior pass blocker, which will keep him on the field

Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
they likely envision him as a committee-headliner to open the year, not a true bell cow

Rodgers is the starter. ... Rodgers starts.
Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart
Rudolph feels like the clear backup favorite.

Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
"I think Tua is going to end up the starter there personally, but it's hard to differentiate between those two QBs," one oddsmaker observed.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 12, 2026 Ty Simpson to be 2nd on the depth chart
With first-round pick Ty Simpson locked in as the backup to reigning MVP Matthew Stafford, the two likeliest rookie quarterbacks to see meaningful playing time in 2026 are Fernando Mendoza and Carson Beck.
Matthew Stafford to be 1st on the depth chart
With first-round pick Ty Simpson locked in as the backup to reigning MVP Matthew Stafford
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
What better way to help Willis as he embarks on his first season as the full-time starter in Miami
Michael Pittman to be 2nd on the depth chart
Pittman is a pivotal answer to the No. 2 receiving question opposite DK Metcalf in Pittsburgh's offense... Pittman comes in as not only a clear-cut second option for Aaron Rodgers
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
At some point, the Raiders will hand the keys over to Fernando Mendoza... Bowers will not only be the security blanket for Mendoza whenever he's installed as QB1
Emery Jones Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
At minimum, the former third-rounder should prove a valuable swing sixth man this season with the ability to start if called upon.
Bhayshul Tuten to be 1st on the depth chart
I expect Tuten to emerge as the Jaguars’ top runner in 2026
Jared Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart
He’ll start (and be an upgrade) over Garrett Bradbury from a year ago and has the potential to be one of the league’s best at the position.
Justin Walley to be 1st on the depth chart
With Kenny Moore no longer with the Colts, Walley will have first crack at the open nickel position
Jahdae Barron to be 1st on the depth chart
I think Barron could beat out Moss on the outside this year
Azareye'h Thomas to be 1st on the depth chart
I see New York boasting a vastly improved defense in 2026 with Thomas emerging as a quality starter on the perimeter.
T.J. Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
the former No. 41 overall selection will emerge as an every-game starter this season, after recording just 16 tackles and starting two games as a rookie
Carter Bradley to be 3rd on the depth chart
When it comes to the QB3 battle between Carter Bradley and undrafted rookie quarterback Joey Aguilar, I think Bradley has the edge right now.
Nick Mullens to be 2nd on the depth chart
Mullens is the QB2, and that will remain unchanged moving forward.
Travis Etienne to be 1st on the depth chart
he will be New Orleans' lead running back after signing a massive contract in free agency
