Every depth chart calls take
3876–3900 of 5,086
Tyler Biadasz to be 1st on the depth chart
Pro Bowl center Tyler Biadasz arriving from Washington in free agency
Geno Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
Make no mistake: Smith is entrenched as the Jets' starter for as long as he can keep them somewhat relevant this season.
Cade Klubnik to be 2nd on the depth chart
If that continues, he's got a "real good chance" to emerge as Smith's primary backup.
- PendingBen ArthurDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Carnell Tate to be 1st on the depth chart
No. 4 overall pick Carnell Tate is expected to be Tennessee's WR1 at some point, and free-agent acquisition Wan'Dale Robinson will be a primary target for Ward, too.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 3, 2026 Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Players involved: Deshaun Watson vs. Shedeur Sanders / Prediction: Watson starts Week 1
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
Players involved: J.J. McCarthy vs. Kyler Murray / Prediction: Murray starts Week 1
Dre'Mont Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones and guard Alijah Vera-Tucker aren't flashy players, but they will be excellent starters at their respective positions.
Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Receiver Romeo Doubs is an upgrade at WR2.
R Mason Thomas to be 1st on the depth chart
Edge R Mason Thomas appears to have a direct path to a starting spot, getting plenty of work with the first team.
Mansoor Delane to be 1st on the depth chart
The Chiefs will almost definitely start cornerback Mansoor Delane at CB1 after trading up to draft him in Round 1.
Alijah Vera-Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones and guard Alijah Vera-Tucker aren't flashy players, but they will be excellent starters at their respective positions.
Logan Jones to be 2nd on the depth chart
while the team also drafted Logan Jones in the second round, there has been nothing to indicate the rookie is going to unseat the veteran as the projected starter
Garrett Bradbury to be 1st on the depth chart
there has been nothing to indicate the rookie is going to unseat the veteran as the projected starter... he has always been viewed as the favorite to win the starting center job over Jones. After one week of training camp, nothing has changed on that front.
Cam Lewis to be 1st on the depth chart
For now, it appears Lewis will be the guy to replace Bryant if he is indeed dealing with an injury that will keep him out for an extended period of time.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
they lack someone with a higher ceiling to take the pressure off Fernando Mendoza once he inevitably takes over the reins of the offense
Kayshon Boutte to be 1st on the depth chart
Boutte gives them a receiver who can step in and become their top option, while still allowing their other receivers to thrive in their respective roles.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
that could be enough to get them by next season with Kirk Cousins as their quarterback
A.J. Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
The Patriots just traded for AJ Brown, and he's now their WR1 without a doubt.
Jager Burton to be 2nd on the depth chart
