    Drew Kendall to be 1st on the depth chart

    With Dickerson out, second-year lineman Drew Kendall is the favorite to step into the starting lineup at left guard, though rookie Willie Lampkin could also factor in.

    Jeremiah Smith to be 1st on the depth chart

    For the NFL, Smith looks like an elite No.1 receiver.

    J.K. Dobbins to be 1st on the depth chart

    Dobbins was the early-down back... the early-down role trumps all other roles combined for a fantasy running back, so Dobbins has more value in the short term.

    Walker is a must-start player, and Johnson is a handcuff worth rostering in case Walker suffers an injury.

    Anthony Hill to be 1st on the depth chart

    Cody Barton to be 3rd on the depth chart

    Bhayshul Tuten to be 1st on the depth chart

    But for now, it looks like Tuten is the lead back. As LeQuint Allen (one snap) gets healthier moving forward, this number could shift even more. But Tuten's stock is rising right now

    Del'Shawn Phillips to be 1st on the depth chart

    Del'Shawn Phillips is starting alongside Daiyan Henley in this Chris O'Leary defense to start the season... his thumping prowess and role over the likes of Troy Dye and Marlowe Wax gives reason to believe that his Week 1 game is a win pertaining to his role over expectation.

    Week 1 seeing him play a team-high 30 snaps for tight ends. He is tied with Kolar for the number... giving him room to have a similar role going into Week 2.
