Every depth chart calls take
3226–3250 of 5,064
Jordan Mason to be 1st on the depth chart
I prefer Mason to Jones, even in PPR scoring leagues, because he should get more of the rushing workload and the goal-line touches.
Isaiah Davis to be 2nd on the depth chart
Isaiah Davis could see some passing game work as the No. 2 running back
Malik Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
leaving Malik Washington as the favorite to be the team's No. 1 wide receiver
Troy Franklin to be 2nd on the depth chart
Don't be shocked if he ends up replacing Sutton as the No. 2 guy at some point this season.
Jaylen Warren to be 2nd on the depth chart
I expect Dowdle to be the lead running back and play on early downs while Warren takes over Gainwell's role in passing situations.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Kirk Cousins is expected to start in Week 1 and keep the job until the Raiders feel that Mendoza is ready
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
everyone believes the veteran is in the driver's seat and all but guaranteed to be the Week 1 starter
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
it's only a matter of time until Arizona gives Carson Beck the starting role
DeVonta Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
He should have a breakout season as the team's No. 1 wide receiver.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
it sounds like Tua Tagovailoa will start in Week 1 with Michael Penix Jr. still recovering from a torn ACL
Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
Don't be shocked if the Titans lean on Pollard on early downs and make Spears their passing-downs running backs
Rico Dowdle to be 1st on the depth chart
I expect Dowdle to be the lead running back and play on early downs while Warren takes over Gainwell's role in passing situations.
Aaron Jones to be 2nd on the depth chart
I prefer Mason to Jones... because he should get more of the rushing workload and the goal-line touches.
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
While Love should be the lead running back, the veterans will cut into his workload
Xavier Legette to be 3rd on the depth chart
leaving Xavier Legette as the likely No. 3 wide receiver for Carolina
Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart
However, Jaylen Waddle is the new No. 1 wide receiver
Christian Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Christian Watson leads the Green Bay wide receiver corps
Zachariah Branch to be 2nd on the depth chart
Atlanta has no better option than the rookie as their No. 2 wide receiver
Jalen Nailor to be 1st on the depth chart
making him the favorite to be the team's No. 1 wide receiver
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
Reportedly, the Chiefs will make Kenneth Walker III their featured running back, including in the passing game.
