Odell Beckham Jr. is listed as a third-team wide reciever on the unofficial depth chart released by the New York Giants in advance of Saturday’s preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Preseason depth chart often don’t match what reps distributed during practice tell us, so let’s go through the chart and see what else we can find that is noteworthy.

This chart is done using the positions the way the Giants have listed them, so it will be structured a bit differently.

Offense​

Position	Player	Player	Player	Player
WR	Malik Nabers	Calvin Austin	Malachi Fields, Isaiah Hodgins	Braxton Berrios, Ryan Miller
WR	Darius Slayton	Darnell Mooney, Jalin Hyatt	Odell Beckham Jr., Dalen Cambre	JuJu Smith-Schuster, Xavier Gipson
LT	Andrew Thomas	Marcus Mbow	J.C. Davis
LG	Jon Runyan Jr.	Daniel Faalele	Jake Kubas
C	John Michael Schmitz	Lucas Patrick	Bryan Hudson
RG	Sisi Mauigoa	Aaron Stinnie, Evan Neal	Brendan Jaimes
RT	Jermaine Eluemunor	Josh Ezeudu	Ryan Schernecke	Jarrod Gray
TE	Isaiah Likely	Theo Johnson	Chris Manhertz	Tanner Conner, Thomas Fidone II
QB	Jaxson Dart	Jameis Winston	Brandon Allen
FB	Patrick Ricard	Grant Finley
RB	Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy	Devin Singletary	Eric Gray	Dante Miller, Damon Bankston

• While Beckham is listed as a third-teamer, Jalin Hyatt is shown with the second team. That doesn’t match what we have seen in practice.
• Calin Austin is listed with the second team, mostly because there is no slot receiver designation.
• Malachi Fields is listed with the third team, but has been getting a heavy share of first-team reps.
• Chris Manhertz might be the third-team tight end, but he is on the firld with the starters a lot.
• Evan Neal is listed with the second team. The only second-team reps he has taken have been over the past couple of days when injuries have forced some shuffling. He has been with the third team.
• Eric Gray is listed ahead of Dante Miller. What we see on the field indicates that is not the case.

Defense​

Position	Player	Player	Player
DT	Shelby Harris	Josh Tupou	Anquin Barnes
NT	D.J. Reader	Leki Fotu	Bobby Jamison-Travis
DE	Darius Alexander	Zacch Pickens	Marlon Davidson
RUSH	Brian Burns	Chauncey Golston	Khalid Kareem
MLB	Tremaine Edmunds	Micah McFadden	Darius Muasau	Anfernee Orji
FS	Arvell Reese	Jack Kelly	Zaire Barnes
SAM	Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux	Chauncey Golston	Caleb Murphy	Trace Ford
CB	Paulson Adebo	Deonte Banks	Korie Black, Colton Hood	Nic Jones, D.J. James
CB	Greg Newsome	Dru Phillips	Art Green	JT Woods, David Long Jr.
SS	Tyler Nubin	Jason Pinnock	Raheem Layne	Beau Brade
FS	Jevon Holland	Ar’Darius Washington	Elijah Campbell

• The three defensive line spots actually do give an idea of who is leading the competiions for roster spots. Rookie sixth-round pick Bobby Jamison-Travis needs to have more impact during preseason games to make the roster.
• Paulson Adebo and Greg Newsome are listed as starters at cornerback, but how that turns out is anybody’s guess.
• Tyler Nubin might be facing competition for a starting job from Jason Pinnock.

Special teams​

Position	Player	Player	Player	Player
Punter	Jordan Stout
Placekicker	Ben Sauls, Dominic Zvada
Holder	Jordan Stout
LS	Ben Mann
Punt returner	Braxton Berrios	Calvin Austin	Xavier Gipson
Kickoff returner	Deonte Banks	Braxton Berrios	Dante Miller	Eric Gray

• It is clear that Dominic Zvada is winning his competition with Ben Sauls.
