Wide receivers: 6

JuJu Smith-Schuster

James Washington

Donte Moncrief

Diontae Johnson

Eli Rogers

Ryan Switzer

These have been the top six from the beginning, and I don’t see that changing yet. Tevin Jones and Johnny Holton impressed in week one, but couldn’t get on the stat sheet against the Chiefs. Diontae Spencer had a nice run on a reverse and was great in the return game, but he still is a long-shot to make the team.

Tight ends: 3

Vance McDonald

Xavier Grimble

Zach Gentry

Vance McDonald and Xavier Grimble are locked in as the team’s one and two tight ends, respectfully. Nobody has stood out for the number three spot, so I still have it going to 5th round pick, Zach Gentry.

Offensive line: 9

Alejandro Villanueva

Ramon Foster

Maurkice Pouncey

David DeCastro

Matt Feiler

B.J. Finney

Zach Banner

Chukwuma Okorafor

Fred Johnson

My first changes to my 53-man roster. In my most recent update, I had 7th round draft pick Derwin Gray making the team. However he has been replaced by Zach Banner – a player who continues to impress. I also added a 9th offensive lineman, Fred Johnson, to the fold.
