Depth charts can change in a hurry, which is why we’ll be be constantly updating this list. Keep in mind, there are always several unsettled situations and position battles so it’s important to remember these are just projections. NFL coaches are known to have favorites and do surprising things with playing time distribution, especially when factoring in matchups.
It’s also important to remember that some players, namely receiving backs (Theo Riddick, Darren Sproles, etc.), might not become a traditional starter if the guy above them on the depth chart gets hurt. Still, they should see more touches and ultimately have more value than the new “RB1”, which is why some of them are listed as handcuffs.
