Every depth chart calls take
4001–4025 of 5,094
Patrick Paul to be 1st on the depth chart
His replacement will be 2024 second-round pick Patrick Paul, who was woeful in four full games last year.
Joseph Ossai to be 1st on the depth chart
The Bengals are still OK on the edge because they have Joseph Ossai ready to step into a full-time starting role
Amarius Mims to be 1st on the depth chart
it's unclear how well Amarius Mims will play in his place
Sam Darnold to be 1st on the depth chart
Instead, Sam Darnold will be the starter
Broderick Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Pittsburgh will now have to go back to Jones because Fautanu is dealing with a knee injury.
Cam Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
Second-round rookie Cam Smith will have to fill the void.
Tyleik Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
the Lions also have first-round rookie Tyleik Williams to start next to D.J. Reader
Trevor Penning to be 1st on the depth chart
the Saints will be forced into starting a rookie and the anemic Trevor Penning at tackle
Taliese Fuaga to be 1st on the depth chart
the Saints will be forced into starting a rookie and the anemic Trevor Penning at tackle. The rookie, Tallies Fuaga, may pan out
Keenan Allen to be 3rd on the depth chart
he would immediately slot in as the WR3 and receive starter-level snaps
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
He should be able to get on the field as the backup running back.
Rico Dowdle to be 2nd on the depth chart
My money is on Warren as Pittsburgh's primary running back this year, and it's possible Dowdle has a smaller role than some expect.
Woody Marks to be 2nd on the depth chart
The Texans signed David Montgomery to be their lead back, which means Marks can slide back into the third-down role to which he's better suited.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
The Texans signed David Montgomery to be their lead back
Jaylen Warren to be 1st on the depth chart
My money is on Warren as Pittsburgh's primary running back this year, and it's possible Dowdle has a smaller role than some expect.
Eli Raridon to be 2nd on the depth chart
rookie tight Eli Raridon has been working as the uncontested TE2 behind Hunter Henry... Raridon is primed to play a fairly large role in Josh McDaniel's offense as a rookie.
Monroe Freeling to be 1st on the depth chart
Freeling appears set to begin his rookie season as a starter.
- PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
enters 2026 with a legitimate chance to emerge as the Raiders' top wide receiver
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 1, 2026 - PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jauan Jennings to be 3rd on the depth chart
his move to Minnesota likely pushes him into a depth role behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 1, 2026 - PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jalen Coker to be 2nd on the depth chart
he enters 2026 as the favorite for Carolina's No. 2 WR job behind Tetairoa McMillan
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 1, 2026 Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart
I don't know how Henderson overtakes Stevenson in 2026 if both of these players continue to post per-touch efficiency metrics like they did last season.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp.
TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart
I don't know how Henderson overtakes Stevenson in 2026... Henderson could eat into Stevenson's workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he 's best viewed as an upside RB3.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
Fernando Mendoza eventually taking over as the Raiders' starting quarterback seems inevitable, so much so that the only question is a matter of when it occurs.
Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart
With Rudolph handling the backup role to open training camp, however, which includes taking the first-team reps Rodgers isn't to open camp, it's hard not to view him as the leader over Howard. ... It won't necessarily be easy for Howard to surpass Rudolph either because of how steady the latter is
