Every depth chart calls take
2351–2375 of 4,787
Omar Cooper to be 4th on the depth chart
Omar Cooper Jr. doesn’t play with the starters: New York’s rookie wide receiver appears to be fourth on the depth chart.
Matthew Golden to be 4th on the depth chart
He is likely fourth in the target order behind Watson, Reed and tight end Tucker Kraft, but there is room to climb if he plays well.
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
Love started this game, suggesting he is already ahead of Allgeier on the depth chart.
Isaiah Bond to be 4th on the depth chart
The later rotation also reinforced Bond’s standing as the top backup... If any of Cleveland’s top three wide receivers miss time this season, Bond appears most likely to see a significant increase in snaps.
Parker Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart
Even with all of that competition, Washington and Thomas are expected to enter the season as the Jaguars' top two wide receivers.
Josh Downs to be 1st on the depth chart
Downs will operate as Indianapolis' top wide receiver in camp until Pierce returns.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
With Nick Chubb gone, Woody Marks is Montgomery's primary competition for touches ... That leaves Montgomery with a clear path to his largest workload in years.
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
There is some risk that Monangai improves enough to take on a larger role, but Swift graded notably better as a runner, receiver and pass blocker last season, making a significant shift in playing time unlikely.
Amon-Ra St. Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
As the Lions' No.1 offensive weapon, he forces defensive playcallers to make tough decisions
Geno Smith to be 1st on the depth chart
Smith is expected to be the Jets' starting quarterback for much of the season.
Rashan Gary to be 1st on the depth chart
With Rashan Gary locked into one of the starting outside linebacker jobs and Donovan Ezeiruaku emerging in his second year as a situational starter, there is no obvious full-time spot for Miller atop the depth chart.
Cam Taylor-Britt to be 4th on the depth chart
Veteran newcomer Cam Taylor-Britt has proven to be the next man up outside of the Colts' starting trio of Sauce Gardner, Charvarius Ward Sr., and Justin Walley
Alec Pierce to be 1st on the depth chart
Alec Pierce : Indy's WR1 put on cleats and was a minimal participant for the first time this offseason
C.J. Allen to be 1st on the depth chart
The rookie linebacker is still expected to start in Week 1's regular-season opener against the Baltimore Ravens
Blake Grupe to be 1st on the depth chart
Blake Grupe continues to separate in practice... At this point, it's Grupe's job to lose.
Jovaughn Gwyn to be 1st on the depth chart
While Danny Pinter has been taking all of the first-team reps in camp thus far, that will likely change moving forward after the impressive outing that Jovaughn Gwyn had against the Eagles... Gwyn might not only get to start next week's road exhibition bout against the Minnesota Vikings, but he could also get his first practice reps with Lamar Jackson and the first-team offense
Ethan Pocic to be 3rd on the depth chart
Both players have been career backups and depth players for their previous teams and are clearly ahead of 10th-year veteran Ethan Pocic, who didn't enter the preseason opener until the fourth quarter with the third-team offensive line.
Spencer Fano to be 1st on the depth chart
Fano played in 33 snaps (50%) as the coaches wanted every opportunity to see their top rookie play. He played solid and further cemented that he'll be the blindside protector this season.
Dawand Jones to be 2nd on the depth chart
With the exception of Jones, who will likely be a backup this season
Sam Ehlinger to be 3rd on the depth chart
Barring an epic performance in preseason Games 2 and 3, Ehlinger will remain third in Denver's quarterback hierarchy.
Jarrett Stidham to be 2nd on the depth chart
after a long offseason of competing with Ehlinger to retain his long-held QB2 job, it really does feel like Stidham is in the driver's seat
- PendingThomas MartinezDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Trey Pipkins to be 2nd on the depth chart
The Chargers currently have veteran Trey Pipkins on the roster and he is in line to be the 2026 swing tackle.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 16, 2026 - PendingThomas MartinezDepth Chart Calls2026 season
Akheem Mesidor to be 3rd on the depth chart
clear need for a third edge rusher for the Chargers defense ... Mesidor's role is clearly defined with Bud Dupree being more of a run defender at this point of his career.
Akheem MesidorLos Angeles Chargers
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 16, 2026 Andy Dalton to be 2nd on the depth chart
Dalton still has the slight lead in the QB2 race ... Dalton has a slight edge over McKee based on 11 practices and the preseason opener.
Ozzy Trapilo to be 1st on the depth chart
He may not be ready to go for Week 1, but there's no doubt now that he will be able to start for the Bears early in the 2026 season. ... But with Trapilo's return now imminent, the Bears' left tackle competition is at an end
