Every depth chart calls take
2076–2100 of 5,031
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
As a owner, I'm always going with the money man until he loses his job... I know what decision they're gonna make up there.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm leaning towards what Joe's saying that a should Door's gonna get named the starter
Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
On offense, rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price has positioned himself as the clear primary back following Kenneth Walker's free-agent departure and Zach Charbonnet's ongoing recovery from a torn ACL
Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart
The Los Angeles Chargers reportedly placed starting center Tyler Biadasz on season-ending injured reserve Sunday ... Second-round rookie Jake Slaughter is expected to take over starting duties.
Travis Etienne to be 1st on the depth chart
Kamara's injury is a boon to Travis Etienne, who should take firm command of the No. 1 running back role in New Orleans if the former's absence carries into the regular season.
Deion Jones to be 3rd on the depth chart
The 49ers were in need of linebacker depth with only Fred Warner and Tatum Bethune available to them, and Jones fits the mold of a third option.
Elic Ayomanor to be 4th on the depth chart
they have fallen behind Calvin Ridley, who spent most of last season injured, first-round rookie Carnell Tate and free-agent addition Wan'Dale Robinson. Ayomanor and Dike didn't see significant playing time until the fourth quarter
Tony Pollard to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tyjae Spears out-snaps Tony Pollard with the starters again
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.
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.
Elijah Arroyo to be 2nd on the depth chart
Arroyo was a second-round pick by the Seahawks last season but ultimately lost the starting job to AJ Barner... it's unlikely that Arroyo has another path to fantasy value this season.
Tyjae Spears to be 1st on the depth chart
Tyjae Spears out-snaps Tony Pollard with the starters again: Pollard has started both games, but Spears has been on the field more frequently with Cam Ward this preseason.
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
Joe Fagnano to be 3rd on the depth chart
Everything points to Fagnano taking the No. 3 role from Austin Reed.
Luke Altmyer to be 3rd on the depth chart
Altmyer did not take a step toward the No. 2 job but should latch on as a third option with the potential to develop into more.
J.J. McCarthy to be 3rd on the depth chart
my guess is here on August twenty third, he's not even gonna be the backup quarterback
J.J. McCarthy to be 2nd on the depth chart
So I think he's a I think he's a backup quarterback.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
But on Monday, my kid said he's gonna name a starter. So my guess is Shador is named
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
I mean I would have a hard time not starting Shador Sanders.

Mike Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
The Raiders will now turn to rookie running back Mike Washington, who has had a solid training camp and preseason.
Mike WashingtonLas Vegas Raiders
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 23, 2026 Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
it's hard not to wonder whether it will indeed be Watson... it's possible that Monken is inclined to give Watson the first two games, both on the road at Jacksonville and Tampa Bay
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Shedeur Sanders will be the Browns' starting quarterback ... Verdict: Reality
Trey Smack to be 1st on the depth chart
Packers solved their kicking woes ... It appears that they finally have an answer, however ... Sixth-rounder Trey Smack has been a preseason standout. ... Verdict: Reality
J.J. McCarthy to be 3rd on the depth chart
J.J. McCarthy is not Minnesota's second-best quarterback ... Carson Wentz might give the Vikings a better chance of winning games if Murray misses any time. Verdict: Reality
