Every depth chart calls take
2126–2150 of 4,787
Drew Allar to be 2nd on the depth chart
Howard will start against New York, while Allar will get the remaining reps.

Will Howard to be 1st on the depth chart
Howard will start against New York, while Allar will get the remaining reps.
Will HowardPittsburgh Steelers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 19, 2026 Xavier Hutchinson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Nico Collins and Xavier Hutchinson will likely become primary available options.
Nico Collins to be 1st on the depth chart
Nico Collins and Xavier Hutchinson will likely become primary available options.
Stetson Bennett to be 2nd on the depth chart
If they end up making Ty the number two with their expectations for this season going into the fall, that'll tell you that he is way ahead of schedule in my opinion.
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
Who gets a start first? All things being equal, not injury related, Beck or Fernando Mendoza?... I'll say Beck... I think we see Beck before them.
Jake Slaughter to be 1st on the depth chart
you've got a guy in Jake Slaughter that's that's played a ton of football in college... Sergeant Slaughter. He's coming into town to be the center.
- PendingDouglas ClawsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
He should be the missing element for a RB group that ranked bottom five in the NFL in rush yards (1,247), yards per rush (3.7) and tackles avoided last season (47)
Kenneth Walker IIIKansas City Chiefs
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 19, 2026 - PendingDouglas ClawsonDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Rashee Rice to be 1st on the depth chart
If he can somehow stay on the field, he would give Kansas City the closest thing to a No. 1 WR the Chiefs have had since Hill left.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 19, 2026 Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart
The expectation for Walker is that he will serve as the bell-cow back, helping to reignite the running game for Patrick Mahomes as he returns from a season-ending knee injury.
Jahmyr Gibbs to be 1st on the depth chart
It's fun to imagine what will happen in 2026 with Gibbs taking over the backfield as the Lions' bellcow back.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
I think David Montgomery is gonna get the lion's share of carries.
Caleb Douglas to be 1st on the depth chart
Caleb Douglas, clear starter with Malik Washington, funny enough, with the Dolphins.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt to be 1st on the depth chart
He's gonna be their starter... I think Jakori Kroskey Merritt, good old Bill is gonna have a big workload... he is seemingly the early down back
Denzel Boston to be 1st on the depth chart
Denzel Boston, we've already established as a starter for the Browns.
J.K. Dobbins to be 1st on the depth chart
I think JK Dobbins is gonna open the season with a lot of carries.
Devin Neal to be 2nd on the depth chart
I guess Devin Neal becomes more of a viable handcuff pick here. If something were to happen to Travis HN, Devin Neal's the guy.
Malik Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
Caleb Douglas, clear starter with Malik Washington... Washington's gonna be a starter.
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
He was the absolute workhorse for this team with the starters in this preseason game... know confidently that he's gonna be the guy there in Arizona
Tyler Allgeier to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tyler Allgeier just absolute clear backup and very much best case scenario from a workload perspective from Jeremiah Love.
DJ Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
that's a new number one receiver for Josh Allen
Ty Simpson to be 2nd on the depth chart
If Simpson continues to play well, it becomes very difficult for the Rams to justify having him behind Bennett as the third-string quarterback.
Ozzy Trapilo to be 1st on the depth chart
Jones has seemed like the favorite at the position for months now, but Trapilo, who was activated off the PUP list earlier this week, is likely to get the nod when he's ready to go, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play by Week 1.
Tim Patrick to be 5th on the depth chart
his veteran presence and connection with Glenn likely give him an inside track to the No. 5 spot on the WR depth chart.
Jamaal Pritchett to be 6th on the depth chart
If he can replicate that performance, the WR6 role will be Pritchett's to lose.
