Every depth chart calls take
3801–3825 of 5,083
Darius Cooper to be 5th on the depth chart
Cooper is teh leader in teh clubhouse for the WR5 spot, as he's catching passes and showcasing his improvements as a blocker.
Kahlil Benson to be 1st on the depth chart
Incumbent Jaylon Moore gives them a veteran option, but Indiana product Kahlil Benson's meteoric rise up the depth chart has created real competition at the position... it wouldn't be a shock to anyone here if he wrested the job from Moore.
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
Kenneth Walker III brings the kind of every-down presence the Chiefs have lacked
Sam Ehlinger to be 2nd on the depth chart
He's putting pressure on Jarrett Stidham for the No. 2 quarterback job and had some great plays on Tuesday
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
Coach Mike LaFleur has not publicly addressed playing time for his quarterbacks, but with Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew expected to spend the night on the sideline, Beck likely sees most of the playing time.

Maliek Collins to be 1st on the depth chart
Even though Graham and Collins have the top jobs likely locked up, it’s always anybody's game.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 4, 2026 Cameron Thomas to be 1st on the depth chart
his looming absence leaves a sizable hole in the starting lineup. Samson Ebukam and Cameron Thomas are next in line and will be tasked with stepping into a larger role than expected.

Kedon Slovis to be 4th on the depth chart
Kedon Slovis is the fourth quarterback on the roster in Arizona and will likely see playing time after Beck’s night in Canton comes to an end.

Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
Head coach Mike LaFleur announced on Tuesday that Beck will get the start against the Panthers in the Hall of Fame Game.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 4, 2026 Garrett Nussmeier to be 3rd on the depth chart
Johnson and Nussmeier are both third on the depth chart for now, with long-term reasons for optimism.
Jeffrey Bassa to be 4th on the depth chart
Bassa seems to be linebacker No. 4 as things stand now.
Emmett Johnson to be 3rd on the depth chart
Johnson and Nussmeier are both third on the depth chart for now, with long-term reasons for optimism.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
Murray has seen his ADP dip a bit because of this strange narrative going around that JJ McCarthy has a real shot to win this starting job. Spoiler alert: he doesn't.
Jamaree Salyer to be 6th on the depth chart
Salyer, who appeared in 13 or more games in each of his first four seasons, is likely the sixth man along this offensive line.
Dillon Thieneman to be 1st on the depth chart
It's better to have one position down than make things even more confusing by sliding Thieneman over to take over some of the responsibilities of the other safety. They'll keep Thieneman in his spot and let him learn.
- PendingDennis AllenDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Cam Lewis to be 1st on the depth chart
Allen said Tuesday this means free agent acquisition Cam Lewis alters his emphasis away from slot cornerback to become a safety. "Yeah, I think he'll focus a little bit more on the safety position now," Allen said
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 4, 2026 Isiah Pacheco to be 1st on the depth chart
Isiah Pacheco is working as the starting running back with Gibbs out, while Vaki's injury could lead to increased work for any of Jacob Saylors, Jabari Small and Kye Robichaux.
- PendingGordon McGuinnessDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Bud Clark to be 1st on the depth chart
The more intriguing question is whether rookie Bud Clark can push him for that role. Both players should see significant playing time, but Clark's versatility could give him the edge.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 4, 2026 Tyrique Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart
Chicago's fourth-round pick Malik Muhammad is thought to be in competition with Tyrique Stevenson. However, that seems like a situation in which Stevenson retains the starting job at least to open the season.
Keylan Rutledge to be 1st on the depth chart
The Texans' coaching staff has been gauging a competition between first-round pick Keylan Rutledge and veteran Jake Andrews for the center gig, but it is difficult to envision Rutledge not winning the job, given that the team traded up to select him.
Bryce Boettcher to be 1st on the depth chart
Fellow rookie, fourth-round pick Bryce Boettcher, may also secure a starting role in Lou Anarumo's defense before all is said and done.
- PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Greg Dulcich to be 1st on the depth chart
with only Will Kacmarek, Seydou Traore, and Ben Sims behind him on the tight end depth chart, Dulcich should be the Dolphins’ every-down tight end

Dallas Goedert to be 2nd on the depth chart
With A.J. Brown out of town, Goedert could easily be the clear second option in the Eagles’ passing attack this season.
