Every depth chart calls take
2001–2025 of 4,784
- PendingEllis Bryn JohnsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Mike Evans to be 1st on the depth chart
Desperate for a true outside receiver, Kyle Shanahan’s offense has dreamed of having a player like Evans. With De’Zhaun Stribling making splashes this offseason, it is clear that Evans will be working alongside the second-round rookie.

Rashee Rice to be 1st on the depth chart
With Xavier Worthy dealing with a shoulder injury and Travis Kelce aging, it’s hard to see anyone else taking the lead role from Rice.

J.K. Dobbins to be 1st on the depth chart
He'll get the bulk of the work over RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman after rushing for 772 yards in just 10 games last season.

Ladd McConkey to be 1st on the depth chart
He's the No. 1 receiver for Justin Herbert, and now Mike McDaniel is the offensive coordinator for the team.

Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Doubs signed a sizable deal with the Patriots, so while A.J. Brown will be the No. 1 WR, Doubs will be right behind him.

He now enters the 2026 season as the Saints' undisputed starter
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
it's widely expected that Murray will be taking the snaps when the Vikings face the Packers in Week 1
- PendingFantasyProsDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Chris Olave to be 1st on the depth chart
Chris Olave, who was a top-six fantasy receiver per game in Tyler Shough's 2025 starts, becomes the clear focal point of the New Orleans passing game

Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
Sanders is locked in a battle with Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland, and so far, it seems the former is the clubhouse leader for the job... His up-and-down start to camp has put Sanders in the driver's seat.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 21, 2026 Tyrone Tracy Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy seem safely entrenched as the top two backs

Woody Marks to be 2nd on the depth chart
David Montgomery was nowhere to be seen, which means that Marks is clearly behind him.
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
The fact that Nailor played and Tucker sat with the other starters means that Tucker is likely the No. 1 receiver in Las Vegas.
Oronde Gadsden II to be 2nd on the depth chart
He was the primary tight end in the Chargers' offense last year, but that's not going to be the case if the preseason is any indication.
Mike Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
if the Raiders were planning to give Washington a comparable workload to Jeanty, they wouldn't have used him so much in this meaningless game
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
With quarterback Kirk Cousins sitting along with the majority of Las Vegas' starters, and head coach Klint Kubiak's declaration, it's clear Mendoza will fulfill the backup role for the near future.
Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
He was the clear starter with the first team for this game, and given his health, is now the slight favorite for the backup job.
Keaton Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Keaton Mitchell remains the RB2 ... we should expect Mitchell to see more snaps and touches than Vidal this season.
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Tre Tucker is the Raiders' top receiver: Tucker was among the Raiders' wide receivers who didn’t play in this game, suggesting he is the top wideout on the pecking order.
Xavier Hutchinson to be 1st on the depth chart
the injury to Higgins will likely return Hutchinson to his Z position. He will likely start there in Week 1, and will rotate with Dell throughout the season.
Jaylin Noel to be 1st on the depth chart
This is good news for Noel once he’s healthy, as he might have the slot role to himself and not need to rotate with Higgins or Hutchinson.
Stefon Diggs to be 2nd on the depth chart
they went out got him a legit number two, a guy that you could say is just as good as mclauren
Quincy Williams to be 1st on the depth chart
Carson Schwesinger and Quincy Williams will be the forefronts of the linebackers
