Every depth chart calls take
426–450 of 4,890
Cody Barton to be 3rd on the depth chart
Barton is clearly the third-best linebacker on the roster... there's no denying Barton is in grave danger of losing his job, and it feels like a matter of time.
Bhayshul Tuten to be 1st on the depth chart
But for now, it looks like Tuten is the lead back. As LeQuint Allen (one snap) gets healthier moving forward, this number could shift even more. But Tuten's stock is rising right now
David Njoku to be 1st on the depth chart
Week 1 seeing him play a team-high 30 snaps for tight ends. He is tied with Kolar for the number... giving him room to have a similar role going into Week 2.
Del'Shawn Phillips to be 1st on the depth chart
Del'Shawn Phillips is starting alongside Daiyan Henley in this Chris O'Leary defense to start the season... his thumping prowess and role over the likes of Troy Dye and Marlowe Wax gives reason to believe that his Week 1 game is a win pertaining to his role over expectation.
Joey Porter Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
While it's certainly frustrating how things have played out with the Steelers' No. 1 corner up to this point, Porter Jr. is still one of the most impactful players on a defensive unit
Isaiah Likely to be 1st on the depth chart
No longer is he buried behind Mark Andrews in Baltimore. Likely is the tight end on this Giants roster and looks ready for a full-on breakout year.

Isaiah Likely to be 2nd on the depth chart
he appears to be the clear 1B read in this offense behind receiver Malik Nabers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 14, 2026 - PendingEvan TarraccianoDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Carson Wentz to be 1st on the depth chart
With Murray now in the league's concussion protocol, look for Wentz to start again on the road against Chicago
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 14, 2026 Carson Wentz to be 1st on the depth chart
Carson Wentz led an epic Vikings comeback, and he should be the Vikings QB one moving forward.

Rashod Bateman to be 1st on the depth chart
Rashod Bateman could be the Ravens' de facto No. 1 WR when the Ravens host the Saints in Week 2.

Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
The offensive environment in Cleveland is currently putrid but could rise to a mediocre level once the Browns eventually bench quarterback Deshaun Watson in favor of Shedeur Sanders.

Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
Black is still clearly the No. 2 running back in San Francisco (sorry, Jordan James truthers) and quite possibly the most indispensable handcuff in fantasy football.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 14, 2026 Romeo Doubs to be 1st on the depth chart
Romeo Doubs ... can step into the team's WR1 role this week.

Jalen Coker to be 2nd on the depth chart
but Coker seems to be solidifying himself in that No. 2 spot

Tetairoa McMillan to be 1st on the depth chart
Tetairoa McMillan is definitely the No. 1 option in this offense
Tetairoa McMillanCarolina Panthers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 14, 2026 Malik Muhammad to be 1st on the depth chart
If he keeps playing like this, it's a matter of when he replaces Stevenson, not if.
Stefon Diggs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Stefon Diggs, Daniels' newest WR2
Jacory Croskey-Merritt to be 1st on the depth chart
Commanders fans had to be relieved seeing him rise to the challenge in fending off Rachaad White as Washington's lead back.
Jacob Hummel to be 3rd on the depth chart
Jake Hummel may be Texans' LB3: ... his absence led to veteran Jake Hummel being Houston's replacement for the seven snaps that he appeared in, rather than someone like Jake Hansen or rookie Wade Woodaz.
Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart
now he'll likely be Nix's top target in Denver ... he should operate as the primary option in Sean Payton's passing attack
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
Walker has been in a timeshare for most of his career, but is expected to be the full-on lead back in Kansas City.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
if Michael Penix Jr. is healthy enough to play in Week 2, it wouldn't surprise me if Kevin Stefanski chooses to start him
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
Black is still clearly the No. 2 running back in San Francisco (sorry, Jordan James truthers)
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
It's only a matter of time before the Browns pull the plug on franchise albatross Deshaun Watson and insert second-year passer Shedeur Sanders
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
Most likely, it will be only a week or two before Love relegates Allgeier to a much smaller role.
