Every depth chart calls take
2676–2700 of 4,787
Rashod Bateman to be 2nd on the depth chart
Bateman, the No. 2 WR, has been a perennial disappointment
Ja'Kobi Lane to be 3rd on the depth chart
Right now, Lane is battling for the No. 3 job, but I'm told he's been outstanding all summer long
Deone Walker to be 1st on the depth chart
Second-year guys Deone Walker and TJ Sanders are trending toward starting alongside him.
T.J. Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Second-year guys Deone Walker and TJ Sanders are trending toward starting alongside him.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson to be 1st on the depth chart
Right now, C.J. Gardner-Johnson is the guy, but he'll have to fend off Damar Hamlin, Geno Stone and Jalon Kilgore to nail down the job.
Khalil Shakir to be 2nd on the depth chart
with Khalil Shakir settling in as the No. 2, and Keon Coleman and Josh Palmer fighting for snaps behind him
Cole Bishop to be 1st on the depth chart
Hopes are high for second-year man Cole Bishop, now entrenched at one of the safety spots
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
a much clearer quarterback situation, where Malik Willis is the guy this season
Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart
Rudolph seems to be viewed as the safer bet over Howard by the organization, and while the latter undoubtedly has more upside, the former really doesn't need to prove a whole ton over the next few weeks.
Calvin Throckmorton to be 1st on the depth chart
the Broncos had no choice but to turn to backup left guard Calvin Throckmorton as the first-team center. That's who fans can likely expect to see with the Broncos' ones and twos against the Falcons
Gavin Ortega to be 3rd on the depth chart
while undrafted rookie Gavin Ortega runs with the threes
Kyle McCord to be 3rd on the depth chart
Based on reps during the last week of practices, Kyle McCord has taken the lead in the race to be the No. 3 quarterback, with the winner ticketed for a spot on the practice squad.
Kitan Oladapo to be 4th on the depth chart
Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, Javon Bullard are the top three, obviously, and Kitan Oladapo almost certainly will be No. 4.
- PendingZac VentolaDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Lan Larison to be 3rd on the depth chart
At the beginning of training camp, while Jennings was on the NFI list, Larison worked as the Patriots' third running back. Now, with Jennings out, he catapults as the new favorite for the spot.
Lan LarisonNew England Patriots
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 13, 2026 Spencer Fano to be 1st on the depth chart
Rookie Spencer Fano will start at left tackle
Tytus Howard to be 1st on the depth chart
with Tytus Howard at right tackle
Teven Jenkins to be 1st on the depth chart
Teven Jenkins at right guard
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
The team is getting Watson ready to play Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Parker Brailsford to be 2nd on the depth chart
Brailsford will be the team’s backup center
Zion Johnson to be 1st on the depth chart
with Zion Johnson at left guard
Elgton Jenkins to be 1st on the depth chart
Elgton Jenkins at center
Tylan Wallace to be 5th on the depth chart
with Tylan Wallace as a strong fifth receiver that will contribute on special teams
Garrett Bradbury to be 1st on the depth chart
That training camp battle never materialized, however, as Bradbury has taken all of the reps with the starting offense so far. It seems that the coaching staff prefers to start the year off with an experienced player snapping Caleb Williams the ball.
Jacoby Brissett to be 1st on the depth chart
Some are calling for the rookie to start over Brissett. That won't happen, at least not right away, but Brissett does hold the potential to quiet the noise surrounding his job with a strong outing with the Cardinals' starters.
Gardner Minshew to be 2nd on the depth chart
If the season started at this moment, Minshew would be the unquestioned backup to Brissett... Minshew, at least to begin the season, can really plant his flag as the team's No. 2 option
