Every depth chart calls take
1326–1350 of 4,906
Max Klare to be 5th on the depth chart
He will likely be a healthy inactive each week as long as the other four tight ends remain healthy.
Trevor Etienne to be 3rd on the depth chart
Third-string running back Trevor Etienne played the first two snaps and then his night was done, suggesting his spot as the third running back is safe.
Mike Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
Their plan at backup appears to center on Washington, their fourth-round pick.
Kevin Coleman to be 2nd on the depth chart
Rookie Kevin Coleman Jr. has consistently been in the slot and will be Washington’s backup there.
Pat Bryant to be 3rd on the depth chart
In reality, Bryant is likely the third wide receiver, as he sat out this game.
Malik McClain to be 6th on the depth chart
The most interesting battle is for the Jets' potential sixth wide receiver spot, where undrafted rookie Malik McClain has played ahead of 2025 fourth-round pick Arian Smith throughout the preseason.
Elijah Arroyo to be 2nd on the depth chart
Still, he remains the top backup receiving tight end and should see a decent amount of playing time this season.
Terry McLaurin to be 1st on the depth chart
Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs were two of the players locked in to the roster as they are the starters
Ben Skowronek to be 5th on the depth chart
He remains the favorite for the fifth receiver spot.
Jordan Mason to be 2nd on the depth chart
Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason are locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
Colbie Young to be 4th on the depth chart
Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers appear to be fourth and fifth on Cincinnati’s wide receiver depth chart.
Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are currently locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
Roman Wilson to be 3rd on the depth chart
Roman Wilson sits while Germie Bernard plays: Wilson appears to be the favorite for the Steelers’ third receiver spot entering Week 1.
Aaron Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason are locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
Noah Fant to be 2nd on the depth chart
providing further evidence that he will be the tight end alongside Juwan Johnson in 12 personnel this season, with Delp serving as Johnson’s backup
Zavion Thomas to be 4th on the depth chart
Thomas is locked in to the fourth receiver spot.
Emmett Johnson to be 2nd on the depth chart
This suggests Johnson will be Walker’s primary backup to start the season.
Laquon Treadwell to be 1st on the depth chart
If Pierce can’t play in Week 1, Treadwell appears to be the starter.
Ja'Kobi Lane to be 3rd on the depth chart
giving even more evidence that Lane will be the third wide receiver in 11 personnel this season
Keenan Allen to be 2nd on the depth chart
This suggests that Allen will be a Z receiver this season, leaving Downs in the slot in 11 personnel.
Sean Tucker to be 3rd on the depth chart
The fact that Tucker started suggests he has a slight edge, but the rotation indicates it’s not decided.
Kyle Williams to be 5th on the depth chart
New England traded Boutte to the Houston Texans, moving Williams and Chism up to fifth and sixth
Tyler Badie to be 4th on the depth chart
If the Broncos keep a fourth running back, Badie appears to be the current favorite.
Marvin Mims Jr. to be 4th on the depth chart
A one-snap difference is a small sample, but there is a chance Mims is fourth on the depth chart.
Jalen Nailor to be 1st on the depth chart
Jalen Nailor remains a starter for Las Vegas... Nailor doesn’t appear to be in danger of losing significant playing time to anyone currently on the roster.
