Every depth chart calls take
101–125 of 4,890
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.
Jake Haener to be 2nd on the depth chart
So it is gonna be Jameis this week with Jake Hehner in as the two.
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.
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.
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.
J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jay Kaders in line to back him up this week.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
For right now, they paid Jameis Winston. He's gonna be the starting quarterback.
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
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
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.
Case Keenum to be 1st on the depth chart
not only because third-string quarterback and likely starter Case Keenum will need to knock off some rust
- PendingWolf Trelles-HeardDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Josh Downs to be 1st on the depth chart
After back-to-back games with a snap share north of 80% and Alec Pierce now on IR, Downs has essentially become Indianapolis’ de facto WR1. ... Given the current state of the receiver room, he’s going to have to be a near-every-down player.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 24, 2026 Jonah Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart
keep an eye out for Jonah Coleman... I think he takes over this RB role for the Denver Broncos and gives them some life.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Tagovailoa slots in as QB2 behind Penix, who's set to handle starting duties in Week 3
Tua Tagovailoa to be 2nd on the depth chart
Now healthy, Tagovailoa slots in as QB2 behind Penix, who's set to handle starting duties in Week 3.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
he made it clear that the most straightforward path for Harbaugh and the Giants remains the most probable one: Stick internally and ride the wave with Jameis Winston.
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
Jameis Winston will take over as the starter, though the Giants are in the market for a veteran quarterback to join Jake Haener behind Winston.
Trevor Penning to be 1st on the depth chart
The Chargers will be starting Trevor Penning at one of the guard spots
Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart
With him on the shelf, the Giants will likely turn to Jameis Winston as their starter going forward.
