The Kansas City Chiefs released their depth chart for Week 11 of the 2019 regular season. This depth chart reflects some new changes to the roster that occurred following the Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Generally speaking, these depth charts give you an idea of where a player is in the pecking order. They’re considered unofficial because they’re assembled by the team’s PR staff and not the coaching staff. Some things may not accurately reflect what happens on game day because of that. However, the PR staff does have access to the teams’ closed practices and wouldn’t purposely mislead with the depth chart.
Let’s take a look at this depth chart and see what we can learn.
Offense
Pos. | First | Second | Third | Fourth |
QB | Patrick Mahomes | Matt Moore | Chad Henne | |
RB | Damien Williams | LeSean McCoy | Darwin Thompson | Darrel Williams |
FB | Anthony Sherman | |||

Observations:
- Offensive lineman Martinas Rankin has been sent to the injured reserve list. This depth chart reflects that move.
- In a corresponding transaction, the Chiefs added rookie offensive tackle Jackson Barton from the Colts’ practice squad. He’ll fill the role of swing tackle in Kansas City.
- Unlike his predecessor, Barton will not fill in at left guard on the depth chart. Instead, Stefen Wisniewski will take on double duty as the reserve at both guard positions.
