Every depth chart calls take
1351–1375 of 4,906
Emmett Johnson to be 2nd on the depth chart
This suggests Johnson will be Walker’s primary backup to start the season.
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.
Kyle Pitts to be 1st on the depth chart
Pitts could still be a fantasy starting tight end this season with that usage, but it would be more difficult for him to finish among the top-eight at the position.
Seth McGowan to be 2nd on the depth chart
Seth McGowan plays ahead of DJ Giddens : McGowan appears to be the current favorite for the backup job behind Jonathan Taylor.
Charlie Kolar to be 1st on the depth chart
More evidence that Charlie Kolar is the Chargers’ top tight end: Kolar was the only Chargers tight end to play every snap with the starters.
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
Germie Bernard to be 4th on the depth chart
Bernard also played, providing another indication that Wilson is ahead of him on the depth chart.
Dohnte Meyers to be 5th on the depth chart
Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers appear to be fourth and fifth on Cincinnati’s wide receiver depth chart.
Myles Price to be 4th on the depth chart
The fact that Price didn’t play in this game while Tai Felton did suggests Price is fourth on the depth chart.
Tyjae Spears to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are currently locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
Kendre Miller to be 2nd on the depth chart
Kendre Miller appears set to be the Saints’ RB2 in Week 1
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.
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.

Isaiah Likely to be 1st on the depth chart
Likely will be the top option at tight-end this season, after splitting time with Mark Andrews the last four years.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 30, 2026 - PendingSteve KrebsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
George Kittle to be 1st on the depth chart
Kittle looks to be shaping up as the Week 1 starter, so Tonges is definitely more of a stash in deeper leagues.
George KittleSan Francisco 49ers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 30, 2026 Zay Flowers to be 1st on the depth chart
Baltimore made several changes to their receiving corps this offseason. Yet, Flowers’ role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
Don’t be surprised if Brooks takes the starting role from Chuba Hubbard sooner than later, especially with the veteran missing time with a hamstring injury.
Jonah Coleman to be 3rd on the depth chart
Jonah Coleman walks into the Denver depth chart as the RB3 with the ability to climb the depth chart.

Javonte Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
with the presumed lead-back role fully his... He's walking back into a true workhorse role
Javonte WilliamsDallas Cowboys
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 30, 2026 Max Iheanachor to be 1st on the depth chart
The Steelers also selected tackle Max Iheanachor with the 21st overall pick at the 2026 NFL Draft, who will likely now take over for Jones at right tackle opposite 2024 first-round left tackle Troy Fautanu.
Broderick Jones to be 2nd on the depth chart
they acquire a first-round talent that deepens its offensive line, specifically behind right tackle Terence Steele ... It also provides some insurance/competition for Terence Steeler at right tackle
Luke Altmyer to be 3rd on the depth chart
but then gave way to Dobbs, who had a more polished day with 128 yards and two passing touchdowns. That might have clinched his fate as QB3.
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
Mendoza will begin his rookie season as the backup to Kirk Cousins, and it comes after a preseason in which he showed there's still room for him to develop before rising to the top of the depth chart.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Mendoza will begin his rookie season as the backup to Kirk Cousins

Broderick Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Perhaps Jones could be an option at right tackle at some point down the line if Steele doesn't perform up to standard.
