    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

    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.
