College fantasy football managers face significant depth chart changes ahead of the 2026 season opening games. Sutton Smith has emerged as the starting running back for Arkansas, while Quaid Carr leads the running back room at Washington following a strong spring performance. At UCF, Duke Watson takes the primary running back role under head coach Scott Frost. Conversely, Cincinnati has announced a four-man rotation for its backfield, and Caden Durham has fallen down the depth chart at LSU. USC freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley gained status following a strong showing against San Jose State. These shifts alter expectations for upcoming games as teams begin their non-conference schedules.
