Every depth chart calls take
2401–2425 of 5,042
Malik Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
Caleb Douglas, clear starter with Malik Washington... Washington's gonna be a starter.
Ty Simpson to be 2nd on the depth chart
If Simpson continues to play well, it becomes very difficult for the Rams to justify having him behind Bennett as the third-string quarterback.
Ozzy Trapilo to be 1st on the depth chart
Jones has seemed like the favorite at the position for months now, but Trapilo, who was activated off the PUP list earlier this week, is likely to get the nod when he's ready to go, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play by Week 1.
Garrett Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart
WR1: Garrett Wilson ... Garrett Wilson heads into the 2026 NFL season as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver yet again.
Isaiah Williams to be 4th on the depth chart
WR4: Isaiah Williams ... help him further cement his hold on the WR4 role.
Tim Patrick to be 5th on the depth chart
his veteran presence and connection with Glenn likely give him an inside track to the No. 5 spot on the WR depth chart.
Adonai Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
WR2: Adonai Mitchell
Jamaal Pritchett to be 6th on the depth chart
If he can replicate that performance, the WR6 role will be Pritchett's to lose.
Omar Cooper to be 3rd on the depth chart
WR3: Omar Cooper Jr. ... they're hoping Cooper can make an impact as the No. 3 option behind Wilson and Mitchell.
Cade Klubnik to be 1st on the depth chart
Team brass is quite high on fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik out of Clemson, so my guess is that he takes over eventually. Maybe following the team's Week 13 bye when New York is sitting 3-9 or something.
Keenan Allen to be 3rd on the depth chart
Keenan Allen, who intends to sign a one-year deal with the Colts as a third option to starting receivers Alec Pierce and Josh Downs
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Deshaun Watson is on track to win the starting quarterback job in Cleveland

MarShawn Lloyd to be 2nd on the depth chart
Lloyd is a dynamic player when healthy and should be Josh Jacobs' primary backup running back.

Terrance Ferguson to be 3rd on the depth chart
a well-rounded pass-catching weapon in a top-heavy pass-catching corps, with a path to being the team's No. 3 passing-game option

Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
Seattle brought in Jadarian Price to immediately slide into the vacancy that Kenneth Walker III left behind... Price seems set to dominate touches for the Seahawks early in the season.

Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart
If Skattebo can remain healthy, he will be an unquestioned No. 1 RB for a team that wants to establish a physical presence by running the ball.

DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
Moore becomes the de facto first read for Josh Allen on all passing plays.

D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
This opens the door for Swift to start the season as a clear RB1.

David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
With second-year pass-catching specialist Woody Marks and third-year sixth-round pick Jawhar Jordan, it is clearly Montgomery’s backfield.

Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
As a result, it’s without a doubt Pollard’s job.

Wan'Dale Robinson to be 1st on the depth chart
He is expected to start in the slot, creating mismatches against nickel corners and linebackers

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 19, 2026 Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
the inexperienced Malik Willis taking over as the starting quarterback
Brenton Strange to be 5th on the depth chart
as the depth chart currently stands, he’s likely the fourth or fifth option in the target hierarchy
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
Brooks could pull an Uncle Rico from last year and steal Hubbard's starting job in 2026. ... If Jonathon Brooks is fully healthy (I think he will be), he could easily be the backfield leader coming out of camp.
Jordyn Tyson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jordyn Tyson should become the second target in the Saints' offense this season once he's healthy
