Every depth chart calls take
3026–3050 of 4,792
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
Murray will be the Vikings' fourth different Week 1 starting quarterback over the last four years.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
Tua Tagovailoa may have the Atlanta Falcons job wrapped up since Michael Penix Jr. hasn't even been cleared for 11-on-11 work.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
now set to start the season as QB1 in coach Kevin O'Connell's system.
Carson Wentz to be 2nd on the depth chart
teammate Carson Wentz, who was once the King of Philly – and who is now one of the backups for Minnesota.

Chris Godwin Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Egbuka has gotten a ton of hype this offseason, but I would not be surprised if Godwin leads the team in targets.

Jaylen Waddle to be 1st on the depth chart
Tyreek Hill is no longer absorbing targets, and Waddle now operates in a pass-heavy Broncos scheme with a clear path to the WR1 role over Courtland Sutton.

Rome Odunze to be 1st on the depth chart
Odunze could very well be the WR1 in this offense, and now with Burden sidelined with a groin injury, it will allow Rome to further establish a deeper connection with Caleb Williams.

Wan'Dale Robinson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Robinson is listed as the WR3, but that is an understatement given his role in the slot... He has a clear path to becoming the second most targeted player behind Carnell Tate, with the ability to siphon opportunities from an aging Calvin Ridley.

Now, Mike Evans is gone, and Chris Godwin is struggling to regain his old form... Egbuka figures to be the Buccaneers’ No. 1 receiver

Michael Wilson to be 2nd on the depth chart
So even with MHJ, Wilson is a serviceable WR2. Without Harrison in the lineup, Wilson wins you your league.

David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
Woody Marks had an unremarkable season as a rookie, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, which provides runway for Montgomery to handle as much of the rushing work as possible.

Chase Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
The Bengals did not invest in the running back room, and their current depth chart, which includes 30-year-old journeyman Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks , suggests Brown remains the primary runner.

Josiah Trotter to be 1st on the depth chart
Trotter has certainly made more splash plays than Dennis has over the course of camp, so it would be no surprise to see him overtake Dennis at some point this preseason.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 11, 2026 Drew Allar to be 3rd on the depth chart
The third-round pick is a lock to make the 53-man roster as the No. 3 quarterback
Mason Rudolph to be 2nd on the depth chart
Rudolph entered camp as the No. 2 quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers, and nothing has changed on that front thus far.
Jalen Milroe to be 3rd on the depth chart
There is a chance Milroe could overtake Lock for the backup job, but he will have to do a lot during the preseason in order to shake things up.
Drew Lock to be 2nd on the depth chart
as the veteran backup, Lock gets the likely first look... Lock has not done anything to lose the backup job, which is why he should get the first chance to back up Darnold in the preseason.
Sam Darnold to be 1st on the depth chart
giving Darnold and the first-team offense a series or two could be the right decision

Chris Bell to be 1st on the depth chart
And if things work out the way the Dolphins hope, Bell and Douglas will be WR1 and WR2 before too long — and for a long time.

By definition, Tre Tucker is the WR1 on this team.
Brock Bowers to be 1st on the depth chart
Brock Bowers will be this team's top pass-catcher
Demond Claiborne to be 3rd on the depth chart
However, if Claiborne continues to have a great training camp, he could force head coach Kevin O'Connell's hand. The Vikings would have no choice but to keep him as the RB3 and cut Scott
