Every depth chart calls take
1201–1225 of 4,741
Zay Flowers to be 1st on the depth chart
Baltimore made several changes to their receiving corps this offseason. Yet, Flowers’ role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
Don’t be surprised if Brooks takes the starting role from Chuba Hubbard sooner than later, especially with the veteran missing time with a hamstring injury.
Jonah Coleman to be 3rd on the depth chart
Jonah Coleman walks into the Denver depth chart as the RB3 with the ability to climb the depth chart.

Javonte Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
with the presumed lead-back role fully his... He's walking back into a true workhorse role
Javonte WilliamsDallas Cowboys
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 30, 2026 Broderick Jones to be 2nd on the depth chart
they acquire a first-round talent that deepens its offensive line, specifically behind right tackle Terence Steele ... It also provides some insurance/competition for Terence Steeler at right tackle
Max Iheanachor to be 1st on the depth chart
The Steelers also selected tackle Max Iheanachor with the 21st overall pick at the 2026 NFL Draft, who will likely now take over for Jones at right tackle opposite 2024 first-round left tackle Troy Fautanu.
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
Mendoza will begin his rookie season as the backup to Kirk Cousins, and it comes after a preseason in which he showed there's still room for him to develop before rising to the top of the depth chart.
Luke Altmyer to be 3rd on the depth chart
but then gave way to Dobbs, who had a more polished day with 128 yards and two passing touchdowns. That might have clinched his fate as QB3.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
Mendoza will begin his rookie season as the backup to Kirk Cousins
- PendingZach DimmittDepth Chart Calls
Broderick Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Perhaps Jones could be an option at right tackle at some point down the line if Steele doesn't perform up to standard.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 A.J. Haulcy to be 1st on the depth chart
Third-round safety A.J. Haulcy has seemingly earned the Colts' opening at strong safety, because although he didn't participate in the preseason finale against the Lions, it still feels like his job once Week 1 arrives.
Daniel Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
The only difference is that Daniel Jones will be the one throwing Allen's way
Seth McGowan to be 2nd on the depth chart
the latter has shored up his rookie role as the Colts' backup running back behind Jonathan Taylor
- PendingDaunte CulpepperDepth Chart Calls
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
Kyler Murray steps in as QB1 ... Culpepper also seems very optimistic about what the Vikings could do with a healthy Kyler in 2026: “I think he's going to have a great year.”
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 - PendingMatt ZenitzDepth Chart Calls
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
First-year coach Klint Kubiak is expected to name the veteran as their starting quarterback to begin the 2026 regular season, according to CBS Sports senior reporter Matt Zenitz.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
this decision means that Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will begin his pro career as Cousins' backup.
- PendingTy ButlerDepth Chart Calls
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
my prediction... is that he comes in week eight against my New York Jets and just carves them up... I maintain week eight is where he will have his debut against the jets.
Fernando MendozaLas Vegas Raiders
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 - PendingTy ButlerDepth Chart Calls
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
No, no, no, no. I think Kirk Cousins is going to be their week one starter.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
And it's going to happen for you, Shador... but you will be QB1 before this year is over.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
"I think Kirk Cousins is going to be their week one starter." "Okay. Yeah, I do too."
David Bailey to be 1st on the depth chart
David Bailey on the edge is going to start.
Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart
Jake Slaughter, the second round pick, will now play center, not guard.
Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
They draft kid out of Clemson. He'll start it right. Tackle Blake Miller.
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
I really like Fernando Mendoza. My guess is he starts somewhere, somewhere before Thanksgiving.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Cleveland, I don't hate them. I just don't know who's quarterback. I'd go with Shadur.
