Every depth chart calls take
326–350 of 4,890
Jacob Cowing to be 3rd on the depth chart
At least one other player will need to step up and seize a role with Stribling out. That 49ers player will likely be Jacob Cowing.
Demarcus Robinson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Deebo Samuel will be first in line, then Demarcus Robinson.
Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart
we will theorize that Darnold misses three more games ... and Lock remains the starter

Jalen Coker to be 2nd on the depth chart
Coker’s dominance was so comprehensive that I found myself wondering if he might end up in a 1A-1B situation with Tetairoa McMillan this year.
Aaron Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
but the lion's share of touches will now go to veteran Aaron Jones Sr. ... As we noted above, Aaron Jones Sr. will now be the key cog in Minnesota's rushing attack.
Carson Wentz to be 1st on the depth chart
Paired with the matchup, Wentz would be a streaming option, and surely a popular DFS play this weekend.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
Right now, Tua Tagovailoa is at the top of the depth chart for Week 2, but we will have to track his status throughout the week.
Cooper Rush to be 1st on the depth chart
what are you hearing about the starting quarterback for week two?... I would not be surprised if it's, Cooper Rush one more time.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
They'll probably start him again next week at home in week three.
Isaiah Likely to be 2nd on the depth chart
Nice weapon for Jackson Dart. Seemingly their number two pass catcher, after Malik Neighbors
Jalen Hurts to be 1st on the depth chart
Hurts is a QB1 option for Week 2 ; the question is how much of a ceiling can he cash in?
Cam Ward to be 2nd on the depth chart
Ward is a back-end QB2 option here.

“It won’t be long before the Browns bench Watson for Shedeur Sanders”

Fellow pass rusher Josaiah Stewart, who will replace an injured Garrett in the starting lineup
