Every depth chart calls take
1926–1950 of 4,968
De'Zhaun Stribling to be 3rd on the depth chart
De’Zhaun Stribling pushes for a starting job: Stribling was a frequent target in the first half and is making a push for a top-three spot on the depth chart.
Brenen Thompson to be a starter
Brenen Thompson was notably the starter in this game over KeAndre Lambert-Smith, making it clear the rookie is ahead on the depth chart.
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
He was the clear starter with the first team for this game, and given his health, is now the slight favorite for the backup job.
Josh Whyle to be 2nd on the depth chart
Josh Whyle is the likely second tight end option this season
Omar Cooper to be 3rd on the depth chart
Omar Cooper Jr. starts for the Jets ... Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell appear set as the top two wide receivers
Gunnar Helm to be 1st on the depth chart
While Helm is still expected to be the lead tight end, he will need more playing time to earn a higher target share than he has seen in the past.
AJ Barner to be 1st on the depth chart
Arroyo will be someone to pick up off the waiver wire if Barner suffers an injury
Kyle Williams to be 6th on the depth chart
It’s clear through the first two preseason games that Williams and Chism sit sixth and seventh on the depth chart.
Jaylen Wright to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jaylen Wright remains the RB2 for Miami: Wright has played ahead of Ollie Gordon II for the second straight week.
Seth McGowan to be 2nd on the depth chart
Rookie Seth McGowan may win the backup running back job by default with Giddens sidelined.
Ja'Kobi Lane to be 3rd on the depth chart
More evidence that Ja’Kobi Lane is the Ravens’ WR3: Lane appears poised for a significant role in Baltimore’s offense this season.
Calvin Ridley to be 1st on the depth chart
For the first three drives, Ridley played X, Tate played Z and Robinson lined up in the slot. ... Titans’ wide receiver depth chart appears set
Kimani Vidal to be 3rd on the depth chart
While it remains possible this is a three-man rotation, and Vidal is simply third in that order, we should expect Mitchell to see more snaps and touches than Vidal this season.
Calvin Austin III to be 1st on the depth chart
Austin appears to be the primary slot receiver.
Kendre Miller to be 3rd on the depth chart
Miller ultimately played the most snaps of the group and appears to be the favorite for the No. 3 running back job.
Roman Wilson to be 3rd on the depth chart
This suggests there is no clear favorite for the third spot, and if anything, Wilson has a slight lead given his playing time in the slot this week.
Bucky Irving to be 1st on the depth chart
All this game did was confirm that Irving is the lead back.
Keaton Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Keaton Mitchell remains the RB2 ... we should expect Mitchell to see more snaps and touches than Vidal this season.
Courtland Sutton to be 2nd on the depth chart
we can expect Sutton to be second given his long history with the team
Tyquan Thornton to be 3rd on the depth chart
Tyquan Thornton remains the WR3: While Cyrus Allen has received plenty of praise during training camp, Thornton remains high on Kansas City’s depth chart.
MarShawn Lloyd to be 2nd on the depth chart
This strongly suggests that Lloyd will be the primary backup on early downs, while Brooks may be the backup on third downs.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
This has opened the door for Brooks to be the Week 1 starter, and potentially keep the role for the season.
Eli Raridon to be 2nd on the depth chart
He is expected to be the Patriots’ second tight end as long as they don’t add another from a different roster.
Jalen Tolbert to be 1st on the depth chart
should be considered the favorite to play Z in 11 personnel in Week 1
Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart
it’s clear Waddle will be first given how much Denver has invested in him
