Every depth chart calls take
176–200 of 4,890
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
The Browns are reportedly set to reevaluate their lineup heading into Week 3, and with Watson's strong showing in a weather-impacted win over the Buccaneers, he might get to start the home opener after all.
Jake Hansen to be 1st on the depth chart
it was fifth-year veteran Jake Hansen who claimed all of the team's snaps as an off-ball linebacker... he'll certainly be a notable presence on the defensive side of the ball for the next several weeks while To'oTo'o is out.
Khalil Shakir to be 2nd on the depth chart
Even if Moore is out this week, Shakir is probably no better than the No. 2 target in the Buffalo passing attack behind surging tight end Dalton Kincaid.
Emmett Johnson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Emmett Johnson has no standalone value as the backup to Kenneth Walker III
Keaton Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Keaton Mitchell doesn't appear to have any standalone value, but he's clearly the top backup to Omarion Hampton.
Adonai Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
The Jets' clear No. 2 receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Mitchell had 3-60-0 on three targets against the Titans in Week 1

Malik Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
With Caleb Douglas in a walking boot ... Washington is expected to be Miami's No. 1 receiver in Week 3.
Jonah Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart
it's very possible Coleman will be Denver's lead back when the Broncos host the Rams in Week 3
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Tre Tucker erupted for 5-119-1 on seven targets Sunday against the Chargers and has to be considered the Raiders' No. 1 receiver.
