Every depth chart calls take
4776–4800 of 5,113
Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
if something happens to Karen Williams, it is one hundred percent clear that Korum's the backup plan, not Darko's hunter
Cedric Tillman to be 1st on the depth chart
he's running as the one and the week one. Usage was very good too.
Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart
the one and two one answer was clear Dobbs, and now we have the elimination of read on top of it, so I think it just makes it even clear
Jake Browning to be 1st on the depth chart
He's going to be playing for months now. Unless the Bengals go out there and make a trade ... So it's gonna be Jake Browning
Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
Quorum would clearly be the guy quote unquote. Sure he would split some carries here and there, but he would be the guy.
Mac Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Mac Jones is an ex Sam Darnold. He's gonna be a starting quarterback in 2026.
Russell Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart
Russell Wilson. He's gonna be the giant starting quarterback the entire season.
Mac Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
I can't sit here and say if somebody needs a new starting quarterback in 2026 that they won't say, look at what Donald did. Let's take Mac Jones. ... I'll buy it.
Javonte Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
This is the starting running back who is going to get I think, pretty much every touch he can handle, just because there's no other competition there for an offense that I expect to be like the poor man's Bengals this year.
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
I think the balance of power in the backfield probably shifts back towards Walker in the coming weeks.
Rashawn Slater to be 1st on the depth chart
It seems like, next year, Vershawn Slater is gonna be playing right tackle.
Jaxson Dart to be 1st on the depth chart
I've been saying that for a month and a half, and now I am saying put the rookie in there.
Chris Rodriguez Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Like I think Chris Rodriguez is probably a better bet to start than Bill Krofsky. Merritt.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
But yeah, he's going to be a starter. But and the Patriots may not have Christian Zales week one
Jacory Croskey-Merritt to be 1st on the depth chart
if it's not week one, I think it he eventually will take over the a back role and it will be a one to two punch between Crosskey Merrit and Eckler
Jakobi Meyers to be 1st on the depth chart
I think that he's clear cut the number one receiver and brock Bauer playing tight end but number two pass catcher on the Raiders
Elic Ayomanor to be 1st on the depth chart
But I am an Or, and I think he's a starter. I mean he won the job or Van Jefferson
Cam Ward to be 1st on the depth chart
Number one overall pick will be starting week one.
Dameon Pierce to be 2nd on the depth chart
It seems like he's gonna be the guy with Damien Pierce spelling him
Nick Chubb to be 1st on the depth chart
it seems like Nick Chubb is gonna be the bell cow back at least going into the season... It seems like he's gonna be the guy with Damien Pierce spelling him
Matthew Stafford to be 1st on the depth chart
I don't think there's any question right now. Matty Stafford is starting on Sunday against the Texans.
Jaxson Dart to be 1st on the depth chart
I think at some point, probably pretty early on, Jackson Dart's going to get his opportunity there
Marques Sigle to be 1st on the depth chart
I think they really like uh Marquis Singh in the in the back end. I think he'll he'll start.
Dylan Sampson to be 2nd on the depth chart
He'll be the backup to Jero and Ford, but we'll see a lot of him
Brian Robinson to be 2nd on the depth chart
they're getting Brian Robinson, they're gonna use him like they use a lot of their other running backs. Well, he'll probably be the third quarter guy.
