Kahlil BensonKansas City Chiefs
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 8, 2026 Stefon Diggs to be 1st on the depth chart

5. Jalen Hurts is the starting QB
Riq Woolen to be 1st on the depth chart
Tariq Woolen was a significant upgrade... He adds much-needed length opposite Quinyon Mitchell
TJ Bass to be 1st on the depth chart
his backup is more than capable of filling in for the short-term... the Cowboys have the luxury of being able to turn to a starting-caliber player who excels in pass protection
Roman Wilson to be 3rd on the depth chart
The Pittsburgh Steelers believe in Roman Wilson as their third wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.

Rachaad White to be 3rd on the depth chart
If the volume is there, White would make for a very valuable RB2. As it stands, it looks more likely White will be a serviceable RB3/FLEX.
Rachaad WhiteWashington Commanders
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 7, 2026 Jaxon Smith-Njigba to be 1st on the depth chart
We still fully expect Smith-Njigba to lead Seattle in targets and for this passing game to run through him again
