Every depth chart calls take
2126–2150 of 5,031
Artie Burns to be a starter
Major Burns (34) getting more snaps than Louis Moore (26)... would suggest Burns is ahead of the rookie free agent from Indiana at this point.
Carson Steele to be 1st on the depth chart
The Eagles would like to have a fullback on this team, and Steele may have passed Cameron Latu for that job.
Tanner McKee to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tanner McKee should be the QB2 come Week 1 / Overreaction or reality: Reality ... the Eagles have to hand him the job
Tylan Grable to be 2nd on the depth chart
Maybe fellow offensive tackle Tylan Grable ends up stealing the job from the rookie before the preseason is over.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
It looks like it's gonna be a situation where Sho Dr Sanders is going to have to be is going to be the starting quarterback.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
I believe that they will start cousins early and then eventually give it to the quarterback to take over.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
Brooks now has a clear path to seizing the starting/lead role for good
Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
Parker Washington is slated to enter the 2026 season as Trevor Lawrence’s top target.
Antonio Williams to be 3rd on the depth chart
with Diggs now in town, Williams is likely out of most two wide sets and may rotate on and off the field in three receiver looks
Odell Beckham Jr. to be 7th on the depth chart
Beckham is likely somewhere between No. 5 and No. 7 on the depth chart.

De'Zhaun Stribling to be 2nd on the depth chart
I highly doubt he falls this far in real drafts, but I love De'Zhaun Stribling in all formats. He has a clear path to the No. 2 WR role in San Francisco
De'Zhaun StriblingSan Francisco 49ers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 23, 2026 Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp.
Isaiah Likely to be 1st on the depth chart
Likely should be their clear starting tight end and a strong part of their passing game
Greg Dulcich to be 1st on the depth chart
with only Will Kacmarek, Seydou Traore, and Ben Sims behind him on the tight end depth chart, Dulcich should be the Dolphins' every-down tight end
Juwan Johnson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Johnson is now the obvious candidate to fill Tyson's No. 2 receiving role.
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
Some believe that Kyle Monangai will replace Swift as the Bears' starting running back this season. However, there is nothing to suggest that it will happen.
Chris Olave to be 1st on the depth chart
While Chris Olave will remain the Saints' clear-cut top option in the passing game
Jaylen Warren to be 1st on the depth chart
My money is on Warren as Pittsburgh's primary running back this year
TreVeyon Henderson to be 1st on the depth chart
I'd expect we get closer to a pre-postseason split between these two RBs to start the year, where Henderson has closer to a 60-40 split
Rico Dowdle to be 2nd on the depth chart
My money is on Warren as Pittsburgh's primary running back this year, and it's possible Dowdle has a smaller role than some expect.
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
Insert Malik Willis as QB1 in Miami, who will definitely rely on his legs a ton in 2026.
Rhamondre Stevenson to be 2nd on the depth chart
I'd expect we get closer to a pre-postseason split between these two RBs to start the year, where Henderson has closer to a 60-40 split
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
McCarthy and quarterback Kyler Murray have been competing for Minnesota's starting quarterback role, but Murray could be making a jump to earning the role.
Stetson Bennett to be 2nd on the depth chart
It looks like Bennett, not Ty Simpson, may start the season as Matthew Stafford’s backup in Los Angeles.
Elic Ayomanor to be 3rd on the depth chart
much like Tyjae Spears being primed to take over from Tony Pollard, Ayomanor is tracking to ascend into that role by the end of the year
