At the beginning of last week, the Kansas City Chiefs released their first unofficial depth chart of the season. We use the word “unofficial” because history shows that these depth charts can be significantly off-base. But they still come from the team, so we pay some attention to them.
In recent years, NFL stats nerds have developed a new way to chart snap counts. It provides little value in the regular season — but during the preseason, it’s a valuable tool that can help us puzzle out a team’s depth chart.
Let’s see how Anthony Reinhard (StatButler.com) charted Saturday’s game between the Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals.
By looking at this data, we can estimate that going into Saturday’s game, Kansas City’s depth charts probably looked something like these.
We’ll look forward to seeing how this data changes when the Chiefs play the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night.
