Every depth chart calls take
1801–1825 of 4,778
Devaughn Vele to be 4th on the depth chart
New Orleans will be hoping Devaughn Vele, a fourth receiver at best, can step into a much bigger role.
Zay Flowers to be 1st on the depth chart
The Ravens also have a dangerous No. 1 WR in Zay Flowers.
Jahmyr Gibbs to be 1st on the depth chart
there shouldn't be much of a drop-off now as Isiah Pacheco replaces David Montgomery as Jahmyr Gibbs' sidekick
Bucky Irving to be 1st on the depth chart
RB Bucky Irving could again be a good lead back (with new addition Kenneth Gainwell as his handcuff)
Jaylin Noel to be 2nd on the depth chart
That leaves Noel, who needs to somehow become a viable No. 2
Josh Downs to be 2nd on the depth chart
He's got a strong No. 2 in Josh Downs
DeVonta Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
Not many teams can trade away a No. 1 receiver (A.J. Brown) and still have one on the roster (DeVonta Smith)

Dowdle projects to take most of the early-down work, while Warren will take over the receiving duties.
TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart
I see the first half of the season following a similar trend, with Stevenson as the 1A and Henderson as the 1B.

Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
This is a golden opportunity for Jonathon Brooks to seize the starting job, which looked certain in the first place.
Denzel Boston to be 1st on the depth chart
Denzel Boston has been listed as a starting receiver on Cleveland's depth chart.
Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart

Omar Cooper has reportedly struggled in training camp and could be demoted in favor of Isaiah Williams.
Malachi Fields to be 2nd on the depth chart
Malachi Fields has made an early claim for the No. 2 receiver spot... it sounds like he'll be starting regardless.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm leaning towards what Joe's saying that a should Door's gonna get named the starter
Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
As a owner, I'm always going with the money man until he loses his job... I know what decision they're gonna make up there.
Drew Lock to be 2nd on the depth chart
I think Drew Locket is clearly the number two quarterback.
Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart
The Los Angeles Chargers reportedly placed starting center Tyler Biadasz on season-ending injured reserve Sunday ... Second-round rookie Jake Slaughter is expected to take over starting duties.
