Every depth chart calls take
576–600 of 4,890
Malik Nabers to be 1st on the depth chart
He will be the top offensive weapon in the lineup when he returns and is vitally important in New York's search for a breakthrough season.
Malik Muhammad to be 2nd on the depth chart
It doesn't mean Malik Muhammad won't play at all. In fact, he probably will see some time, but not when they first line up in nickel unless they change their minds.
Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart
he continues to lead the team until Darnold returns
Kahlil Benson to be 1st on the depth chart
Signs point to starting left tackle Josh Simmons missing this game , which would vault the undrafted rookie Khalil Benson into the starting lineup to protect Mahomes's blind side.
Eyioma Uwazurike to be 2nd on the depth chart
Behind Roach, Eyioma Uwazurike will be rotating in, too
Malcolm Roach to be 1st on the depth chart
Malcolm Roach is poised to start in Franklin-Myers's old spot on the defensive line, and he is a vastly superior run defender.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 10, 2026 Matthew Golden to be 1st on the depth chart
It would not shock me at the end of the year if if Matthew Golden was Jordan Love's go to guy more often than not.
Chris Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
I will not be surprised at all if at the end of Sunday's game, Chris Brooks is the guy who say there's, you know, 60 snaps on offense if Brooks played, like, 35 of them
Mark Redman to be 2nd on the depth chart
I would not be surprised right now if Redmond plays the most snaps of any tight end on the Packers not named Tucker Craft in week one.
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
The Raiders’ usage of Tucker in the preseason made it clear they regard him as their No. 1 wide receiver.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 10, 2026 Michael Mayer to be 2nd on the depth chart

Daniel Faalele to be 2nd on the depth chart
I think it is more likely that Faalele spends the year as a backup

Boerkircher and Koziol look like the clear No. 2 and No. 3 tight ends on the depth chart entering Week 1

Buffalo hopes that the Bills' new No. 1 wide receiver DJ Moore can open things up for Allen against Houston's stifling man coverage.
