Every depth chart calls take
2876–2900 of 4,787
Keylan Rutledge to be 1st on the depth chart
Rutledge can play center or guard, but the first-round pick feels like the opening-day pivot in Houston.
Andrei Iosivas to be 3rd on the depth chart
Andrei Iosivas has worked with the first-team offense, likely keeping him as WR3
Caleb Lomu to be 1st on the depth chart
Versatility could give the Pats options before the No. 28 overall pick eventually takes over one of the tackle spots.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
It still feels like Tagovailoa opens the season under center.
Braxton Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
If he's healthy, I expect Jones to be the Week 1 starter.
Kahlil Benson to be 1st on the depth chart
Undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson seems poised to swipe the starting right tackle job.
Garrett Bradbury to be 1st on the depth chart
Garrett Bradbury ran away with the starting center gig.
Alvin Kamara to be 2nd on the depth chart
Travis Etienne has taken most of the early-down reps in team drills with Alvin Kamara taking third downs and passing situations. That feels like it will be the trend into the season.
DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
It appears Josh Allen might finally have the go-to target he's missed since Stefon Diggs left town.
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
New head man Klint Kubiak has his veteran QB in Kirk Cousins to guide the team onto the highway before handing driving responsibilities to No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
quickly signed Kyler Murray, who apparently just locked up the starting quarterback job
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
New head man Klint Kubiak has his veteran QB in Kirk Cousins to guide the team onto the highway
Patrick Mahomes to be 1st on the depth chart
it seems like he's on track to start Week 1
Tyler Shough to be 1st on the depth chart
this being the first season in which Moore has a defined starter in Tyler Shough
Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart
It's not an ideal time for Malik Willis to embrace his first opportunity as a full-time starting quarterback
Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
Rookie right tackle Blake Miller arrives with an increased responsibility as a projected starter
- PendingKyle SoppeDepth Chart Calls2026 season
TreVeyon Henderson to be 1st on the depth chart
his ability to hold off Henderson last year was at least partly driven by his hyper-efficient production, and if that disappears, I think the lead role goes with it

Rashee Rice to be 1st on the depth chart
Rashee Rice is a strong WR1 for how the Andy Reid scheme functions

Rashid Shaheed to be 2nd on the depth chart
the other starting spot belongs to a fading Cooper Kupp for now. Shaheed is trending toward taking it. Land the clear WR2 role in a Darnold-led passing game and his weekly value climbs in a hurry.

“I do not know if the Vikings would trade J.J. He’s going to be the backup,” Rapoport added.
- PendingJacob RobinsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
DeVonta Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
DeVonta Smith is talented enough to seamlessly shift to WR1, creating a hole at No. 2.

Dontayvion Wicks to be 2nd on the depth chart
It sounds like Dontayvion Wicks is the WR2 for now, because first-rounder Makai Lemon has missed significant time with a hamstring injury
