• Green Bay Packers Depth Chart

Green Bay’s Sept. 8 depth chart lists MarShawn Lloyd first, Chris Brooks second and newcomer Kaleb Johnson third. Date-only publication evidence supports Brooks, while Johnson’s role can grow after learning the offense.

Backfield news: Green Bay’s Sept. 8 depth chart lists MarShawn Lloyd first, Chris Brooks second and newcomer Kaleb Johnson third. Date-only publication evidence supports Brooks, while Johnson’s role can grow after learning the offense.

Scouting: Big, straight-line backup who is the most experienced healthy body in a suddenly thin room. Would handle early downs and short yardage in a committee if Lloyd's injury history resurfaces, but he is a replacement-level runner.

Starter injury history: 2024: played one game as a rookie (six carries); ankle sprain in Week 2 cost him six games, plus an appendectomy — four IR stints across two years. 2025: did not play at all — placed on IR/designated to return with a hamstring on Aug. 26, activated Dec. 17, then back on IR Dec. 19 with a second hamstring injury. 2026: healthy through camp and named the starter with Jacobs unavailable.

Also considered: Kaleb Johnson (54)

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 82/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• Vikings Release Depth Chart Ahead of 2026 Week 1 Border Battle vs. Packers

Minnesota’s official Sept. 9 Week 1 depth chart lists Aaron Jones Sr. or Jordan Mason as co-starters, with Demond Claiborne behind them. Mason is the clear replacement.

Backfield news: Minnesota’s official Sept. 9 Week 1 depth chart lists Aaron Jones Sr. or Jordan Mason as co-starters, with Demond Claiborne behind them. Mason is the clear replacement.

Scouting: Powerful, decisive early-down runner listed as co-starter and trending toward the larger share — projections have the split near 50-50 and he may take the goal-line work outright. With Jones' hamstring history, Mason is the man who would carry a full lead workload in Minnesota.

Starter injury history: 2024: healthy, 1,138 rush yds and 408 rec yds. 2025: hamstring injury in Week 2 vs. ATL sent him to injured reserve and cost him at least four games; he returned in Week 8 and then exited the Week 9 win over DET with another injury, finishing with only 160 touches. Long career pattern of MCL, hamstring, knee and calf issues, and he turns 32 this season.

Also considered: Demond Claiborne (43), Max Bredeson (24)

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 75/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• Commanders Have a Week 1 RB Question the Depth Chart Can’t Answer

A Sept. 8 report places Rachaad White behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and describes White as the likely passing-down option, with Kaytron Allen suited to short yardage. The split-role structure limits confidence.

Backfield news: A Sept. 8 report places Rachaad White behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and describes White as the likely passing-down option, with Kaytron Allen suited to short yardage. The split-role structure limits confidence.

Scouting: Veteran with a proven 250-touch season on his résumé who slots in as Washington's third-down and passing-game back. Genuinely three-down capable and the clear beneficiary if Croskey-Merritt's soft-tissue issues linger — the most reliable handcuff in this room.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): played all 17 games — 175 carries, 805 yds (4.6), 8 TD. 2026 has been rockier: missed OTAs with a soft-tissue injury, day-to-day with a groin in camp, then pulled up with a lower-body injury Aug. 20 that cost him the last two preseason games. Limited in early-September practice but expected to play Week 1 vs. PHI.

Also considered: Kaytron Allen (58)

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 74/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• Eagles depth chart: Roster thoughts entering Week 1

Philadelphia’s Sept. 8 team-issued Week 1 depth chart lists Saquon Barkley first, Tank Bigsby second and Will Shipley third. Bigsby is the best-supported replacement.

Backfield news: Philadelphia’s Sept. 8 team-issued Week 1 depth chart lists Saquon Barkley first, Tank Bigsby second and Will Shipley third. Bigsby is the best-supported replacement.

Scouting: Acquired from Jacksonville for fifth- and sixth-round picks specifically as Barkley insurance. Efficient, physical downhill runner with proven lead-back production — widely rated a league-winning handcuff who would take a full early-down workload behind this offensive line.

Starter injury history: Available for essentially all of the last three seasons — a 2,000-yard 2024 and 280 carries in 2025 with no multi-game absence in Philadelphia; upgraded from DNP to full participation on a December 2025 report. 2026 camp: left foot/ankle checked by trainers in August, returned to practice the same day. Bumped for age 29 and a 480-touch 2024 including the Super Bowl run.

Also considered: Will Shipley (43)

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 56/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• What the Miami Dolphins' Week 1 depth chart reveals, with clarity offered
• 2026 Miami Dolphins Depth Chart

Barry Jackson's September 8 Week 1 report lists Jaylen Wright second behind De'Von Achane and Ollie Gordon II third; Ourlads' September 8 chart shows the same order. Wright is our projected first replacement, overriding the scoring model's Gordon choice. The chart does not promise a full workload, and Gordon remains competition. Neither is currently flagged unavailable in the roster feed; game-day activation remains unconfirmed.

Backfield news: Jaylen Wright is the preferred Achane handcuff entering Week 1. Both Miami's released order and a dated independent chart place Wright ahead of Ollie Gordon II.

Scouting: Explosive, straight-line third-year back who won the No. 2 job. Similar speed archetype to Achane and would get the first crack at carries if he sat, but Miami would likely rotate him with Gordon rather than hand him a 20-touch role.

Starter injury history: 2024: played all 17 games despite late-season rib and shoulder issues. 2025: 16 games (71% snap share, 1,838 scrimmage yards) — missed time in concussion protocol and then the finale with a shoulder injury after three straight missed practices. 2026 offseason: had that shoulder surgically 'cleaned up' per HC Jeff Hafley; healthy for camp.

Also considered: Ollie Gordon II (63), DJ Herman (24)

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 66/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• Raiders’ unofficial depth chart for Week 1 vs. Miami Dolphins

Las Vegas’ official Sept. 8 Week 1 depth chart lists Ashton Jeanty first, Mike Washington Jr. second and Dylan Laube third. Washington is the strongest next-man-up choice.

Backfield news: Las Vegas’ official Sept. 8 Week 1 depth chart lists Ashton Jeanty first, Mike Washington Jr. second and Dylan Laube third. Washington is the strongest next-man-up choice.

Scouting: Rookie who is the direct beneficiary of Jeanty's ankle — the Raiders said he would be counted on heavily until Jeanty returns. Early-down runner with no NFL sample; Las Vegas would use a committee rather than name him a bell cow.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): played through the season, 266 carries for 975 yds and 55 catches for 346 yds — 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 total TD, no long absence. 2026: helped off the practice field in late August with what was reported as a low (not high) ankle sprain; he missed the final preseason game and his Week 1 status was called day-to-day, with the team hopeful.

Also considered: Dylan Laube (43), Connor Heyward (29)

Evidence: medium. Stash priority: 76/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• Cardinals list Tyler Allgeier as RB1, Jeremiyah Love as RB2 on Week 1 depth chart

Arizona’s Sept. 8 Week 1 depth chart lists Tyler Allgeier as RB1 and Jeremiyah Love as RB2. Love is the direct replacement projection, but his ankle recovery and a likely split lower confidence.

Backfield news: Arizona’s Sept. 8 Week 1 depth chart lists Tyler Allgeier as RB1 and Jeremiyah Love as RB2. Love is the direct replacement projection, but his ankle recovery and a likely split lower confidence.

Scouting: No. 3 overall pick; explosive, patient runner who handled all three downs at Notre Dame. Opened behind Allgeier on Arizona's own chart only because of the ankle. Once healthy he is the clear lead back and a true bell-cow profile.

Starter injury history: Durable across four Atlanta seasons (2022-2025) with no reported multi-game injury absences; healthy through 2026 camp after signing with Arizona.

Also considered: Bam Knight (43)

Evidence: low. Stash priority: 63/100. Scores are rankings, not probabilities.

• Chargers Release Unofficial Depth Chart Ahead of Week 1 Against the Cardinals

The Chargers’ official Sept. 8 depth chart lists Keaton Mitchell or Kimani Vidal behind Omarion Hampton. With Mitchell limited in practice, Vidal is a cautious projection in an unresolved committee.

Backfield news: The Chargers’ official Sept. 8 depth chart lists Keaton Mitchell or Kimani Vidal behind Omarion Hampton. With Mitchell limited in practice, Vidal is a cautious projection in an unresolved committee.

Scouting: Compact, tough runner with reliable vision who put up 643 rush yds and three TD filling in for Hampton — proof he can handle real volume. Offers passing-game utility Mitchell does not, making him the likelier lead back if Hampton's ankles act up again.

Starter injury history: 2025 (rookie): fractured his left ankle in Week 5 and went on IR, missing eight games; later a right ankle sprain cost him another full game and most of a second — seven to eight games lost in total, finishing with 737 scrimmage yards and five TD in 10 games. 2026: healthy through camp with no reported setbacks.

Also considered: Keaton Mitchell (54), Alec Ingold (33)
