Still, he remains the top backup receiving tight end and should see a decent amount of playing time this season.

Will Howard to be 4th on the depth chart

Carson Wentz to be 2nd on the depth chart

Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell left the door open for Carson Wentz to overtake McCarthy for the opportunity to be the Vikings' QB2, and there are four great reasons the former NFL MVP candidate should be above McCarthy on the depth chart come Week 1 of the regular season.

Kyle Williams to be 2nd on the depth chart

Perhaps the main takeaway with the Boutte trade is that Kyle Williams is going to play a legitimate role in the offense this year. ... Williams has shown the ability to be a deep-ball threat and is due for more looks in his second NFL season.

Ja'Kobi Lane to be 3rd on the depth chart

Lane, a third-round pick, is currently positioned as the third receiver in an offense that will still flow through Jackson, Flowers and a deep group of tight ends and running backs.
