Every depth chart calls take
551–575 of 4,890
Shedeur Sanders to be 2nd on the depth chart
Watson's history of unpredictable and unreliable play means the chances of Sanders coming in at some point this season are good.
MarShawn Lloyd to be 1st on the depth chart
MarShawn Lloyd is expected to operate as Green Bay's lead back when the Packers visit the Vikings on Sunday
Jordan Mason to be 1st on the depth chart
reports from Vikings training camp suggested that Jones might be more of a change-of-pace back, with Mason the lead ball-carrier in a redesigned run scheme that looks like a great fit for him
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Tucker's preseason usage made it clear the Raiders regard him as their No. 1 receiver.
Aaron Jones to be 2nd on the depth chart
reports from Vikings training camp suggested that Jones might be more of a change-of-pace back, with Mason the lead ball-carrier

Brevyn Spann-Ford to be 2nd on the depth chart
With Spann-Ford clearly the team's new TE2 moving forward
Brevyn Spann-FordDallas Cowboys
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 11, 2026 Dillon Thieneman to be 1st on the depth chart
Regardless of what happens with Woods, Thieneman is going to be making his NFL debut as a starter, and we expect to see him playing back deep and in the box during the contest.
Malik Muhammad to be 1st on the depth chart
However, after giving him so many reps in the slot throughout the offseason, we tend to believe it'll be Muhammad in that role.
- PendingVito ChircoDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jameson Williams to be 2nd on the depth chart
He'll be the No. 2 receiver in the team's passing game and be expected to be the go-to deep threat for veteran signal-caller Jared Goff.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 11, 2026 Greg Dortch to be 1st on the depth chart
In all likelihood, the Bills will call up Greg Dortch from the practice squad to handle punt return duties.
Devaughn Vele to be 2nd on the depth chart
Therefore, Vele will be the team’s No. 2 wide receiver on Sunday against Detroit.
- PendingNic BodifordDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
WR Parker Washington , Jacksonville Jaguars vs. CB Myles Harden , Cleveland Brown s : The Jaguars’ No. 1 wide receiver gets his team’s softest Week 1 coverage matchup.
Parker WashingtonJacksonville Jaguars
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 11, 2026 David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm not buying the offseason narratives that the Texans backfield will be a 50/50 split. David Montgomery will likely operate as the team's workhorse.
Christian McCaffrey to be 1st on the depth chart
McCaffrey remained the preferred option on third downs, in short-yardage situations and near the goal line ... McCaffrey remains a must-start fantasy option
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
Second-year running back Jordan James was a healthy inactive, making it clearer that Kaelon Black is the 49ers' RB2.
Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
Kyren Williams led a two-man rotation with Blake Corum, similar to last season.
Kyren Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
Williams remains the better fantasy option because of his receiving ability, even if Corum is slightly more effective as a runner.
Colby Parkinson to be 1st on the depth chart
leaving Parkinson as the primary tight end in 11 personnel on early downs and Ferguson as the primary option on third downs
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
it would not be surprising for Penix to take over at some point this season, given Tagovailoa's recent struggles and injury history
Shaq Thompson to be 1st on the depth chart
Once he's back up to speed, Thompson could very well be a fixture opposite Bernard.
Jalen Redmond to be 1st on the depth chart
Starters Jalen Redmond, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins obviously figure to have sizable roles
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins to be 1st on the depth chart
Starters Jalen Redmond, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins obviously figure to have sizable roles
Elijah Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
Williams's explosiveness and quickness could eventually lead to a starting role in 2026.
Levi Drake Rodriguez to be 1st on the depth chart
Starters Jalen Redmond, Levi Drake Rodriguez and Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins obviously figure to have sizable roles
Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart
meaning the Chargers won't see him in Week 4 on the road in Seattle, one of the toughest places to play in the NFL. Instead, they would line up against Drew Lock.
