Chiefs release updated depth chart for Week 11

The latest depth chart reflecting all of the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent roster moves.

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
WR Tyreek Hill Demarcus Robinson Byron Pringle

TE Travis Kelce Blake Bell Deon Yelder
LT Eric Fisher Cameron Erving
LG Andrew Wylie Stefen Wisniewski
C Austin Reiter Nick Allegretti
RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Stefen Wisniewski
RT Mitchell Schwartz Jackson Barton

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.

What will the Saints do without Andrus Peat?

The New Orleans Saints lost starting guard Andrus Peat for six weeks, putting Will Clapp and Nick Easton in the driver’s seat to replace him

The New Orleans Saints offensive line took a hit on Wednesday when starting left guard Andrus Peat underwent surgery to repair a broken arm, putting him on the sidelines for about six weeks. So where do they go from here?

Peat’s immediate replacement is backup guard Will Clapp, who filled in for him during Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Clapp is a second-year player out of LSU with experience at both guard and center, though the Saints prefer him at guard. He allowed a few sacks to the swarming Falcons defense after being rushed into action.

Another name to watch out for is Patrick Omameh, who has been the final active lineman on most game days despite slotting in as a reserve after Clapp. He has started full seasons before at both left and right guard, though he didn’t play at a particularly high level. The experience he does have at starting often in the NFL can’t be undersold.

Additionally, the Saints can try and get some return on the investment they made in free agent blocker Nick Easton. New Orleans inked him to a four-year, $20 million contract earlier this year, though only the first year was guaranteed at the time of signing. However, Easton has been active for just three games this season, limiting his appearances to the special teams units. He obviously didn’t make a great impression on the coaching staff during the offseason.

Other candidates the Saints could look to on their roster include three rookies: Ethan Greenidge (a former left tackle for Villanova who started 43 games), Derrick Kelly (a Florida State product who played 34 games at both tackle and guard), and John Leglue (a local from Tulane who has played all five positions, plus long snapper).

To recap, here is how snap counts have shaken out for each of New Orleans’ offensive linemen through nine games, suggesting something similar to the in-house depth chart:

  • T Ryan Ramczyk, 609 (100%)
  • G Larry Warford, 609 (100%)
  • C Erik McCoy, 603 (99%)
  • T Terron Armstead, 598 (98%)
  • G/T Andrus Peat, 527 (86%)
  • G Will Clapp, 161 (26%)
  • G Patrick Omameh, 16 (2%)
  • G/C Nick Easton, inactive
  • T Ethan Greenidge, inactive
  • T/G Derrick Kelly, practice squad
  • T/G John Leglue, practice squad
