Every depth chart calls take
101–125 of 4,603
Malachi Fields to be 3rd on the depth chart
he is at best the No. 3 target in the passing game for a team that wants to lean on the run as much as possible
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Tre Tucker is the No. 1 receiver in Las Vegas.
Adonai Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Mitchell might have been the clear No. 2 anyway, but now he is locked into that role while the rookie recovers.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Michael Penix and Shedeur Sanders are likely already rostered in 2QB formats, but it is only a matter of time before both take over as the starter on their team.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Michael Penix and Shedeur Sanders are likely already rostered in 2QB formats, but it is only a matter of time before both take over as the starter on their team.
Caleb Douglas to be 1st on the depth chart
Douglas is the receiver add this week with the best chance to be the long-term No. 1 option in his passing game.
Devin Singletary to be 2nd on the depth chart
Devin Singletary looks like the clear complementary back to Cam Skattebo
Raheim Sanders to be 2nd on the depth chart
with Dylan Sampson expected to miss some time, Raheim Sanders is next up behind Quinshon Judkins
- PendingBrian SchottenheimerDepth Chart Calls
P.J. Locke to be 1st on the depth chart
Schottenheimer said P.J. Locke will take the bulk of the work filling in for Hooker, but Dallas's defense appears to need all the help they can get.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 15, 2026 Drew Lock to be 1st on the depth chart
a medium panic level makes sense here because of the uncertainty for when Darnold returns, but Drew Lock has shown he is capable of holding the fort. Lock should be able to do just that over the next two weeks at the Arizona Cardinals and the Washington Commanders.
Dane Belton to be 1st on the depth chart
Cisco will likely be tasked with starting alongside Belton against the Packers this weekend
Andre Cisco to be 1st on the depth chart
While Moore could see a boost in playing time, Cisco will likely be tasked with starting alongside Belton against the Packers this weekend.
- PendingJared FeinbergDepth Chart Calls
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
I don’t think the vertical game is what will thrive until Fernando Mendoza makes his first start. ... there won’t be an easy solution until the changing of the guard at quarterback occurs.
Fernando MendozaLas Vegas Raiders
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 15, 2026 Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
Seattle Seahawks running back Jadarian Price will walk into State Farm Stadium in Week 2 as the team's starting running back, a role he didn't have much of in his time at Notre Dame.
- PendingJared FeinbergDepth Chart Calls
Dylan Laube to be 3rd on the depth chart
they have two running backs who can complement each other, including No. 3 tailback Dylan Laube
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 15, 2026 Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
the Browns can at least add a little more fun to it by inserting Shedeur Sanders under center
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
the Falcons want Michael Penix Jr. to return as their starting quarterback once he is healthy enough to play
Dillon Gabriel to be 1st on the depth chart
Prediction — Dillon Gabriel will be the starter by Week 10.
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
now, he is a full-time bell cow in Kansas City
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
However, Deshaun Watson won’t be the starter for long, and when Shedeur Sanders takes over, Fannin will see more than three targets a game.
DeVonta Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
The former Alabama star is the Philadelphia Eagles’ No. 1 wide receiver.
Dalton Schultz to be 2nd on the depth chart
He should be the Houston Texans’ No. 2 option in the passing game for most of the season.
Romeo Doubs to be 1st on the depth chart
Despite his struggles on Wednesday night, Doubs is the best healthy wide receiver on the New England Patriots’ roster.
Kendrick Bourne to be 3rd on the depth chart
But Bourne is the Cardinals' No. 3 receiver and played fewer Week 1 snaps than Michael Wilson or Marvin Harrison Jr.
Antonio Williams to be 3rd on the depth chart
But Williams is clearly the No. 3 receiver for the Commanders
