The Denver Broncos released their official week 1 depth chart ahead of their regular season opener vs. number one overall pick Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans. Unlike the previous depth chart, this one has a bit more meaning to it, and we can learn a few things ahead of the season opener. With that said, it is mostly straightforward and looks as anticipated, but there are a couple of surprises.
With all that said, here is your official 2025 week 1 depth chart for the Denver Broncos.

* WR Marvin Mims is listed as the WR2 and figures to have an expanded role on offense and in the passing game this season.
* No real surprises along the offensive line. They are returning all five starters and the same reserves from last season. Matt Peart is your swing tackle, Alex Palczewski is your G/T backup, Alex Forsyth is your C/G backup, and Frank Crum is your backup RT.
* Tight End looks as expected. Nate Adkins will likely miss week 1, so we could see Lucas Krull active and serving as the Broncos’ third tight end on Sunday.
* Running back J.K. Dobbins is listed as the starter and figures to be the lead back with Harvey mixing in as well. Probably the most noteworthy tidbit from this depth chart is that Tyler Badie is ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin on the depth chart. Look for Badie to be active while Jaleel McLaughlin could be a healthy scratch.

* Overall, this defensive unit looks as expected heading into the season
* Rookie IDL Sai’vion Jones is listed last on the depth chart and likely will be an inactive player early in the season
* Rookie edge rusher Que Robinson is listed as the 5th edge rusher and could be inactive early in the season as well. He does have special teams upside, so we’ll see if he cracks the active roster or not
* Linebacker looks as expected, but with Greenlaw and Singleton on a pitch count, look for Levelle Bailey to be elevated from the practice squad this Sunday.
* CB Ja’Quan McMillian is ahead of rookie Jahdae Barron, which was the case during the preseason, but I think we’ll see both players play a bit on Sunday.
* Safety looks as expected with Skinner potentially being the healthy scratch here
