Every depth chart calls take
1651–1675 of 4,920
Malik Davis to be 2nd on the depth chart
Malik Davis is running back number two. He is the primary backup to Javonte Williams.
J.J. McCarthy to be 3rd on the depth chart
It's already run out on his chances to be QB1, and that soon may also be the case for QB2 duties... If Wentz does leap over McCarthy on the depth chart, and the former first-rounder is relegated to third string
Carson Wentz to be 2nd on the depth chart
It's those continued misses on what should be layup throws that are opening the door for Wentz to potentially leapfrog him on the quarterback depth chart as the primary backup to Murray.

Shedeur Sanders to be 2nd on the depth chart
Shedeur Sanders did not win Cleveland's quarterback competition over Deshaun Watson and will open the season as the Browns' backup.

Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
it stands to reason that Sanders could see the field as QB1 as soon as Week 3, when the Browns play the Panthers for their home opener.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 26, 2026 Joshua Ezeudu to be 2nd on the depth chart
he figures to provide versatile depth ... He's very much a backup. If he's playing significant snaps for you, you're not in a good spot.
Carson Vinson to be 1st on the depth chart
It was still in relief of second-year pro Carson Vinson at left tackle, whom he is clearly behind on the depth chart.
Diego Pounds to be 2nd on the depth chart
It was still in relief of second-year pro Carson Vinson at left tackle, whom he is clearly behind on the depth chart.

clear WR2/3 on the team (pending Bateman)
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 26, 2026 Edgerrin Cooper to be 1st on the depth chart
Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin will start
Ty'Ron Hopper to be 2nd on the depth chart
Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper will be backups and core players on special teams

Jonathan Ford to be 1st on the depth chart
Jonathan Ford has had a terrific training camp to seize the job at nose tackle.
Zaire Franklin to be 1st on the depth chart
Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin will start
Xavier Hutchinson to be 2nd on the depth chart
But if he's slow to adjust, expect Hutchinson to be the primary beneficiary to take those snaps as the Z receiver instead.
Jaylin Noel to be 2nd on the depth chart
he'll be able to fill in for recently departed wideout Christian Kirk as one of the more featured guys in the slot... So the expectation remains that Noel remains more involved on a weekly basis than Boutte.
Ellis Robinson to be 1st on the depth chart
Robinson has the potential to grade out as a starter and early-round pick in his draft class.
Kendal Daniels to be 1st on the depth chart
an upstart rookie has pushed his name up the depth chart... Instead, Kendal Daniels has made himself known... Excitement is growing around the rookie, and Friday's preseason finale is his last audition. Based on his summer, it may already be a formality.
Ashton Hampton to be 1st on the depth chart
Hampton looks like a reasonably safe pick to turn into a quality starter at outside cornerback in the NFL.
Carnell Tate to be 1st on the depth chart
The Titans drafted Carnell Tate with the fourth overall pick, and he is expected to play Z and lead the team in targets.
Travis Hunter to be 1st on the depth chart
Now that he is recovered, he will settle in as the Jaguars' No. 1 cornerback.
Nohl Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
Nohl Williams is the next man up in the defensive backfield and should lock down a starting job next to rookie Mansoor Delane.
Aireontae Ersery to be 1st on the depth chart
Former second-round pick Aireontae Ersery is expected to play left tackle
Rashid Shaheed to be 2nd on the depth chart
all eyes will be on Rashid Shaheed to develop into a true No. 2 option
