Every depth chart calls take
3926–3950 of 5,086
- PendingWolf Trelles-HeardDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Christian Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
The runway is cleared for Watson to step into a full-time role and deliver a career-best season.
Christian WatsonGreen Bay Packers

Chris Godwin Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
With Evans gone, Godwin is a lock to be first or second in targets from Baker Mayfield this season.
Chris Godwin Jr.Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 3, 2026 Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
I remain relatively high on the Vikings with Kyler Murray as the expected starting quarterback
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
While it seems like Kirk Cousins will start in Week 1, 2026 should be about developing Fernando Mendoza.
- PendingDalton WassermanDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Alijah Vera-Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
If Vera-Tucker can stay healthy and return to that level as New England's left guard this season, he could transform the Patriots' offensive line.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 3, 2026 - PendingDalton WassermanDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Ed Ingram to be 1st on the depth chart
Ingram did enough to earn a three-year, $37.5 million extension that solidified his status as the Texans' starting right guard for the foreseeable future.

Joe Tippmann to be 1st on the depth chart
He should continue to improve in his second full season at right guard.

Ezra Cleveland to be 1st on the depth chart
He should continue to provide a reliable presence as Jacksonville's starting left guard this season.

Tate Ratledge to be 1st on the depth chart
Ratledge started all 18 games at right guard for Detroit and played well enough to establish himself as the team's long-term starter.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 3, 2026 Josh Downs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Indianapolis traded Pittman to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, finally moving Downs to second on the depth chart.
Adonai Mitchell to be 1st on the depth chart
New York plans to keep Mitchell as its X receiver, alongside a healthy Wilson and first-round rookie Omar Cooper Jr.
Xavier Worthy to be 1st on the depth chart
it is entirely possible Worthy leads the Chiefs in receiving yards
Rashid Shaheed to be 2nd on the depth chart
presumably passing Cooper Kupp on the depth chart to become the second option in the passing game behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba
- PendingArnie SpanierDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
I think it's going to go To Watson... he's got to be given the first chance and see what he can do
Deshaun WatsonCleveland Browns
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 3, 2026 Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Tre Tucker is the No. 1 receiver in Las Vegas, and yet, he's being drafted in the middle of the 15th round.
Isaac TeSlaa to be 3rd on the depth chart
Kalif Raymond is gone, so Isaac TeSlaa is the clear No. 3 option at receiver.
Zachariah Branch to be 1st on the depth chart
There's a good chance he'll start in the slot and be productive in his first season.
Romeo Doubs to be 1st on the depth chart
Romeo Doubs, who was just signed this offseason, will be New England's new slot receiver.
De'Zhaun Stribling to be 1st on the depth chart
It's possible that he could emerge as the No. 1 in San Francisco at some point this year.
Roger McCreary to be 1st on the depth chart
I still believe that Roger McCreary will emerge as the starter at the position, with rookie Keith Abney II also being in the mix
Greg Dortch to be 1st on the depth chart
he’ll end up being a valuable replacement for former Lions slot receiver Kalif Raymond and a more than capable punt returner
Jack Campbell to be 1st on the depth chart
The Lions don't even need him to be their top linebacker, as that honor belongs to Jack Campbell coming off an All-Pro season.
Rock Ya-Sin to be 1st on the depth chart
While this is Rock Ya-Sin’s job currently, Whiteside has gained a lot of ground early.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Kirk Cousins is still clearly the best guy at running Klint Kubiak's offense.
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
For now, he's working chiefly with the second team, but he has a shot to earn first-team reps over the next couple weeks.
