Every depth chart calls take
4201–4225 of 5,103
Ja'Lynn Polk to be 4th on the depth chart
But I'm not certain that Polk's role is really the six wide receiver role. It very well could be the fourth wide receiver role... I think Polk maybe is ahead of Lance and ahead of Brown for right now
Spencer Rattler to be 2nd on the depth chart
if I were picking that quarterback right now based on what we saw during offseason practices, OTAs, mini camps, stuff like that, I'd go with Spencer Rattler.
Kelvin Banks Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Kelvin Banks Junior is your starting left tackle.
Torricelli Simpkins III to be 2nd on the depth chart
But I think him being your dedicated backup center is a really, really important step forward for him
Cesar Ruiz to be 1st on the depth chart
So expect Cesar Ruiz to still be the starting right guard going into this season. No doubt about that.
Erik McCoy to be 1st on the depth chart
Eric McCoy is your starting center.
David Edwards to be 1st on the depth chart
David Edwards is your starting left guard.
Jordyn Tyson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Very well could be, by the end of the season, the team's top wide receiver or second leading receiver.
Tyler Shough to be 1st on the depth chart
Tyler Shuck leads off that position, of course, as the starting quarterback for this team going into 2026
Taliese Fuaga to be 1st on the depth chart
Taliesin Huang is your starting right tackle.
Jacob Cowing to be 4th on the depth chart
he could be potentially the number four wide receiver and and maybe more depending on what injuries happen
Ricky Pearsall to be 2nd on the depth chart
it would be a huge shock if Ricky Pearsall is not the number two guy and not the z wide receiver with Mike Evans on the other side
Mike Evans to be 1st on the depth chart
Mike Evans, a legitimate ex receiver on the other side that teams have to account for
De'Zhaun Stribling to be 4th on the depth chart
I do think he's gonna take a back seat to Christian Kirk and Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall
Jake Ferguson to be 1st on the depth chart
I think it is Jake Ferguson, and it's Jake Ferguson by a country mile, and everybody else will get worked into that mix.
Jake Ferguson to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm a go fur just because I do think he's got less competition than people pretend... Like, I think he is still the tight end.
Kyle Pitts to be 2nd on the depth chart
Yep, you should still be the clear number two target in the Atlanta offense behind Drake London.
Rashee Rice to be 1st on the depth chart
So I still believe that he is the best receiver on the Chiefs, even if Worthy takes a step forward.
J.K. Dobbins to be 1st on the depth chart
So Dobbins is back... I think Dobbins gets a majority of the early down carries and the goal line carries.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
Who's the Vikings starting quarterback? ... If I were sitting here right now and had to take a guess, I'd still say it's Kyler Murray.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
they also bring in Kirk Cousins who, for Kirk, as a part of the deal that brings him there. It seems based on all the public comments, like, he's probably the starter out of the gate.
Treylon Burks to be 2nd on the depth chart
And I completely agree to trail and Burks could be their number two... He might be the commander's number two.
Dontayvion Wicks to be 3rd on the depth chart
But Tontavion Wicks is a quality number three now in a way that I don't think they had last year with Jehan Dotson.
Darius Cooper to be 4th on the depth chart
I'd even watch out for Darius Cooper... I think he could be legit, you know, wide receiver four, and beyond for the Eagles.
Zachariah Branch to be 3rd on the depth chart
But then Zachariah Branch may be gonna be your wide receiver three for the Falcons, a rookie third rounder.
