Every depth chart calls take
1676–1700 of 4,762
Emari Demercado to be 2nd on the depth chart
you have Emery de Marcado coming in as a backup, You've got Kenneth Walker as the starter.
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
You've got Kenneth Walker as the starter.
Stetson Bennett to be 2nd on the depth chart
Unless the Rams coach wants to return to the pre-Stafford offense, Bennett will be the next man up if Stafford goes down. ... Simpson has the higher upside, but I'd roll with Bennett for now.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
Michael Penix Jr. has been cleared for 11-on-11 work and figures to make a run at the job... he has about three weeks to make up ground and potentially leap past his fellow southpaw.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
This means Watson will be the starting quarterback in Week 1 when the Browns travel to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars
Daniel Carlson to be 1st on the depth chart
The former All-Pro kicker instantly becomes the favorite to win the job
Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart
I still like Mendoza. I still think he'll start at some point this season.
Makai Lemon to be 2nd on the depth chart
But he is expected to contribute immediately as the team's WR2.
DeVonta Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
It would've been hard enough to get promoted from WR2 to WR1 in the wake of the A.J. Brown trade.
Michael Penix Jr. to be 1st on the depth chart
I think, look, this is Michael Penick's gig. If he shows anything in the final preseason game, the Falcon should start him week one.
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
he is going to start at least the first two games for Cleveland because they're both on the road
Shedeur Sanders to be 2nd on the depth chart
Sanders will begin the season behind him after producing the stronger PFF passing grade during their preseason auditions
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Deshaun Watson will start for the Browns against the Jaguars in Week 1 after emerging from Cleveland’s four-man quarterback competition.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Our guess? Even if it's Watson for Week 1, it'll likely be Shedeur Sanders by Week 3.

Malik Davis to be 2nd on the depth chart
"So, in 15 plays, we've seen Cowboys [running back] Malik Davis run for 29 yards on five carries, pick up a blitz in pass protection, and haul in an eight-yard TD reception on a third down in the red zone," he wrote. "Sounds like an RB2 to me?"
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 24, 2026 Ty Okada to be 1st on the depth chart
The two easiest spots at the safety positions are Julian Love and Ty Okada, who is coming in as a full-time starter.
Devon Witherspoon to be 1st on the depth chart
If Nick Emmanwori is still injured, the Seahawks would likely have cornerback Devon Witherspoon go back to where he spent his first two years of his career.
Julian Love to be 1st on the depth chart
The two easiest spots at the safety positions are Julian Love and Ty Okada, who is coming in as a full-time starter.
Nehemiah Pritchett to be 4th on the depth chart
that No. 3 nickel spot likely goes to Noah Igbinoghene, then Nehemiah Pritchett
AJ Finley to be 2nd on the depth chart
Finley remains the backup behind Love.
Noah Igbinoghene to be 3rd on the depth chart
With Clark out, that No. 3 nickel spot likely goes to Noah Igbinoghene, then Nehemiah Pritchett.
- PendingJosh SanchezDepth Chart Calls
Malik Davis to be 2nd on the depth chart
Malik Davis Deserves RB2 Opportunity ... if the offense values consistency, it should look no further than Davis to fill the role.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 24, 2026 - PendingRussell HeltmanDepth Chart Calls
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
The Cleveland Browns have landed on a quarterback in their lowly battle at the position this summer. Cincinnati ... is slated to face Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders as of this writing.
Deshaun WatsonCleveland Browns
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 24, 2026 De'Zhaun Stribling to be 2nd on the depth chart
looks ready to step into a significant role immediately as the WR2 opposite Mike Evans
Jaylon Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
Benson's poor showing simply means the Chiefs will slot veteran Jaylon Moore back into the right side as expected, right?
