Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
And while the Raiders have not formally named Kirk Cousins their starter, all signs point to him leading the offense in Week 1 instead of Fernando Mendoza.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
it's no overreaction to say that might be enough to win him the job. Browns fans booed Watson off the field, so it's safe to say the Cleveland community is ready for Sanders to settle in as the starter.
Malachi Fields to be 3rd on the depth chart
Malachi Fields of the New York Giants appears to be one of three third-round wide receivers expected to consistently play in 11 personnel this season.

This suggests Davis is currently the favorite for the backup job
Devin Singletary to be 2nd on the depth chart
Singletary and Tracy are likely competing for playing time, and Singletary appears to have the edge. ... That could leave the Giants with a three-man rotation of Skattebo, Harris and Singletary in Week 1.

Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart
a pretty good No. 2 in Romeo Doubs

Michael Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart

Chris Olave to be 1st on the depth chart

Isiah Pacheco to be 2nd on the depth chart
Isiah Pacheco replaces David Montgomery as Jahmyr Gibbs' sidekick
Khalil Shakir to be 2nd on the depth chart
their best hope is Khalil Shakir, who is a decent No. 2 receiver.

Jadarian Price to be 1st on the depth chart
That could put a lot of pressure on first-round pick Jadarian Price, who was a backup himself at Notre Dame.
