New Orleans Saints depth chart.

Every position on offense, defense and special teams, ranked from the starter down, as the team published it on October 7, 2026. Names in colour open that player’s full page — career stats, contract and outlook.

Quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end

The four positions people look up by name, with the usage behind the ordering. “WR2” and “18% of the targets” are very different claims, and only one of them is worth knowing.

The ordering is the team’s current chart. The shares beside it are 2026 rates from the nflverse play-by-play data — how a team actually used a player, not a projection. Where a player has since changed teams the share is tagged with the club he earned it at, because a new arrival’s carry share says nothing yet about how New Orleans Saints will use him.

Where this comes from. The league’s own published depth chart, via the nflverse open dataset (CC-BY-4.0), re-pulled on a schedule. The snapshot on this page is dated October 7, 2026. Depth charts are a team’s stated ordering, not a guarantee of playing time — see the New Orleans Saints team page for snap share and production, and start/sit for what it means this week.
