Offseason depth charts are my best guess at who’ll crack the two-deep in 2024. The in-season editions reflect what teams release if they decide to post one at all. Coaches mislead on injuries and depth charts every week, but I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying the biggest violators of quarterback misinformation.

Notes on in-season injury designations:

• Questionable — Player suffered an injury in the previous game or has yet to return from injury.

• Probable — Player suffered an injury but played and looked reasonably healthy in the previous game.

• Out — Player is out indefinitely or will miss the rest of the season.

Notes on eligibility:

• Players may play up to 4 games in a season without it counting toward a year of eligibility if they have a redshirt available.

• 2020 COVID season didn’t count toward a year of eligibility.

• Years of eligibility shows years left heading into the 2024 season.

• *Indicates redshirt is still available to use.

This will never be perfect without a regulated system, but I put in the time and research to make sure this is the most accurate resource for QB injury and depth chart news on the internet.

The top two quarterback options (or more if they’re known) are in bold. The rest are sorted by years of eligibility remaining, followed by highest high school star rating from 247, On3 and Rivals.
