Every depth chart calls take
1176–1200 of 4,741
Aaron Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason are locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
Justin Watson to be 6th on the depth chart
Justin Watson and Jared Wayne remain ahead of recently acquired veterans Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones for a potential sixth and seventh spot on the wide receiver depth chart.
Tyjae Spears to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are currently locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
Sean Tucker to be 3rd on the depth chart
The fact that Tucker started suggests he has a slight edge, but the rotation indicates it’s not decided.
Zavion Thomas to be 4th on the depth chart
Thomas is locked in to the fourth receiver spot.
Colbie Young to be 4th on the depth chart
Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers appear to be fourth and fifth on Cincinnati’s wide receiver depth chart.
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
Kaelon Black starts for San Francisco: Black appears to have the lead in the competition for the 49ers’ backup running back job.
Kevin Coleman to be 2nd on the depth chart
Rookie Kevin Coleman Jr. has consistently been in the slot and will be Washington’s backup there.
Max Klare to be 5th on the depth chart
He will likely be a healthy inactive each week as long as the other four tight ends remain healthy.
Dohnte Meyers to be 5th on the depth chart
Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers appear to be fourth and fifth on Cincinnati’s wide receiver depth chart.
Marvin Mims Jr. to be 4th on the depth chart
A one-snap difference is a small sample, but there is a chance Mims is fourth on the depth chart.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. to be 4th on the depth chart
It wouldn’t be surprising if Tracy drops to fourth on the depth chart, even if he’s healthy.
Ja'Kobi Lane to be 3rd on the depth chart
giving even more evidence that Lane will be the third wide receiver in 11 personnel this season
Kyle Pitts to be 1st on the depth chart
Pitts could still be a fantasy starting tight end this season with that usage, but it would be more difficult for him to finish among the top-eight at the position.
Kyle Williams to be 5th on the depth chart
New England traded Boutte to the Houston Texans, moving Williams and Chism up to fifth and sixth
Malik McClain to be 6th on the depth chart
The most interesting battle is for the Jets' potential sixth wide receiver spot, where undrafted rookie Malik McClain has played ahead of 2025 fourth-round pick Arian Smith throughout the preseason.
Stefon Diggs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs were two of the players locked in to the roster as they are the starters
Pat Bryant to be 3rd on the depth chart
In reality, Bryant is likely the third wide receiver, as he sat out this game.
Roman Wilson to be 3rd on the depth chart
Roman Wilson sits while Germie Bernard plays: Wilson appears to be the favorite for the Steelers’ third receiver spot entering Week 1.
Ben Skowronek to be 5th on the depth chart
He remains the favorite for the fifth receiver spot.
Jalen Nailor to be 1st on the depth chart
Jalen Nailor remains a starter for Las Vegas... Nailor doesn’t appear to be in danger of losing significant playing time to anyone currently on the roster.
Keenan Allen to be 2nd on the depth chart
This suggests that Allen will be a Z receiver this season, leaving Downs in the slot in 11 personnel.
Robert Tonyan to be 3rd on the depth chart
he will make the roster as its third tight end

George Kittle to be 1st on the depth chart
Kittle looks to be shaping up as the Week 1 starter, so Tonges is definitely more of a stash in deeper leagues.

Isaiah Likely to be 1st on the depth chart
Likely will be the top option at tight-end this season, after splitting time with Mark Andrews the last four years.
