Every depth chart calls take
76–100 of 4,874
Maxen Hook to be 2nd on the depth chart
The team only had three safeties on the roster, but one of them was the starting nickel in Nick Emmanwori. This meant the team needed an actual third safety for depth. Hook will likely be a backup for both.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
will be the backup quarterback to starter Jameis Winston
Jake Haener to be 2nd on the depth chart
Haener ... will be the backup quarterback to starter Jameis Winston.
Arion Carter to be 1st on the depth chart
Carter looks like a starting inside linebacker candidate for the NFL.
Arion Carter to be 1st on the depth chart
Carter looks like a starting inside linebacker candidate for the NFL.
Jayden Maiava to be 2nd on the depth chart
Maiava looks more like a backup-caliber player for the NFL.
Adonai Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Mitchell is the Jets' second best receiving option.
Josh Downs to be 1st on the depth chart
fourth-year wideout Josh Downs remains the Colts' definitive best option in the passing game moving forward... now looks to serve as the Colts' de facto WR1 until Alec Pierce returns.
Jaylen Warren to be 1st on the depth chart
While Jaylen Warren will take over as the lead running back, Heidenreich should see meaningful touches as a change-of-pace option and in the passing game.
Romeo Doubs to be 1st on the depth chart
Romeo Dobbs had a disaster of a first game, actually got going in the second game. He's going to be the number one.
Greg Dortch to be 3rd on the depth chart
If both players don't suit up, Dortch would likely serve as the Bills' No. 3 wide receiver behind Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer.
Zach Ertz to be 1st on the depth chart
With Goedert out, Ertz is the TE1 in this offense... They need him to take the reins as TE1.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
So it is gonna be Jameis this week with Jake Hehner in as the two. And if Jameis is good, then I'd say, probably, that's that's where they'll roll.
Jake Haener to be 2nd on the depth chart
So it is gonna be Jameis this week with Jake Hehner in as the two.
Marvin Harrison Jr. to be 3rd on the depth chart
he's never gonna be the superstar. He's gonna be a really good number two, maybe a high end three.
- PendingMichael MooreDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Jaylen Warren to be 1st on the depth chart
That would make Jaylen Warren, also returning from injury in Week 2, a quasi-workhorse back for Week 3.
Jaylen WarrenPittsburgh Steelers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 25, 2026 Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
the Falcons quarterback competition has finally been settled. We'll have to wait for confirmation from Kevin Stefanski, but Michael Penix Jr. should be the unquestioned starter after his performance in Green Bay.
J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jay Kaders in line to back him up this week.
- PendingBill SimmonsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Case Keenum to be 1st on the depth chart
But the Bears to me, you know, they're gonna have Case Keenum this week, probably.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 25, 2026 Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
For right now, they paid Jameis Winston. He's gonna be the starting quarterback.
Cam Lewis to be 1st on the depth chart
deploy Cam Lewis in the slot
Xavier Woods to be 1st on the depth chart
and Xavier Woods at safety
Malik Muhammad to be 1st on the depth chart
If Stevenson does sit out on Monday night, the Bears will likely put Malik Muhammad in his spot
Case Keenum to be 1st on the depth chart
With Case Keenum set to start, the Eagles should be in a neutral game script at least, if not playing ahead for most of the game.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
They are going to add a backup, but they're not bringing a backup in as competition for Jameis... And so it is gonna be the Jameis show for the rest of the season.
