NOTES: While there are no changes to the official depth chart this week, there do seem to be some moving pieces potentially. Ger-Cari Caldwell is expected to get his opportunity soon and Josh Vann had a nice catch and run Saturday. This rotation will be determined by who performs in the games.

Jahmar Brown is back from injury and available as a DIME backer.
