Rico Dowdle to be 1st on the depth chart
Early reports out of Steelers camp suggest that Dowdle is the RB1 ahead of Warren, and while they’ll certainly split the workload, the familiarity with McCarthy and recent success suggests Dowdle has a stronger path to taking over the backfield
Rico DowdlePittsburgh Steelers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 6, 2026 Deebo Samuel Sr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
He joined the team with Ricky Pearsall needing season-ending knee surgery, putting the veteran in the driver's seat for the No. 2 wide receiver role.
Jordan James to be 2nd on the depth chart
James is the early favorite to be the superstar's backup with Brian Robinson Jr. in Atlanta.
Jalen McMillan to be 2nd on the depth chart
He could easily be the No. 2 wide receiver in Tampa Bay if Chris Godwin can't stay healthy.
Cyrus Allen to be 3rd on the depth chart
He has a clear pathway to the No. 3 wide receiver role, having only to beat out Tyquan Thornton.
- PendingKyle ZeiglerDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
The QB1 job remains in the air as both Murray and J.J. McCarthy are competing for the head signal-caller position. We all saw how things ended under McCarthy, so Murray should have the edge.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 6, 2026 Bucky Irving to be 1st on the depth chart
A lot of people are convinced Irving will be a committee back this season. ... Irving still averaged 20.3 touches per game. That's workhorse usage by modern standards.
Jayden Higgins to be 2nd on the depth chart
Entering Year 2, Higgins is positioned as Houston's full-time No. 2 receiver with clear contingent upside if Collins were ever sidelined.
Tyler Shough to be 1st on the depth chart
He now enters the 2026 season as the Saints’ undisputed starter
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
it’s widely expected that Murray will be taking the snaps when the Vikings face the Packers in Week 1
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
Malik Willis now gets a chance to prove himself as a starter for the Dolphins
Leo Chenal to be 1st on the depth chart
The new Commander should finally receive a starter's share of playing time in 2026 and has a good chance to climb this list in short order.
James Cook to be 1st on the depth chart
Davis has spent the first two years of his career in a three-man backfield with James Cook and Ty Johnson, and that will be the case again this season. Cook has served as the starter
Tank Bigsby to be 2nd on the depth chart
It's fair to consider Bigsby the primary handcuff to Barkley
Dylan Sampson to be 2nd on the depth chart
This makes Sampson more likely to be a starter at some point this season than the typical handcuff would be.
Ray Davis to be 2nd on the depth chart
Cook has served as the starter, Davis the backup and Johnson the third-down back.
Mike Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
He was drafted in the fourth round by the Raiders, where there is a clear path to being the backup to Ashton Jeanty.
Ashton Jeanty to be 1st on the depth chart
Jeanty is a special player and will see the clear majority of touches
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
But I have a feelings dure will take over. Take over for the forcible future.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
He's going to start regardless, the job is his to lose.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
I think Watston is probably gonna start the season off as a starting quarterback.
