2026 University of Colorado Depth Chart

Julian Lewis is the uncontested QB1 with four years of eligibility and near-total job security, but his fantasy value is strictly passing-based — he won’t add rushing stats in Marion’s Go-Go system. Isaac Wilson slots as QB2 strictly on dual-threat upside and proven starting experience at Utah; he’s the only realistic handcuff with legs. The RB1 designation goes to Richard Young over returning starter Micah Welch because the Go-Go offense rewards power and goal-line work, and Young’s Alabama pedigree plus standout spring reps project him into that high-equity role. Welch retains RB2 as the experienced incumbent, while DeKalon Taylor earns RB3 on pass-catching ability alone — his 10-catch, 2-TD sample in just four 2025 games is the best receiving floor in that room.

At receiver, Danny Scudero is the clear WR1: he led the nation in receiving yards in 2025, already knows Marion’s system from Sacramento State, and profiles as Lewis’s primary short-to-intermediate option. DeAndre Moore Jr. is WR2 on ceiling alone — the only proven Power 4 producer in the group — but an active leg injury drops him behind Scudero until he proves availability. Kam Perry’s 80-yard TD on the first play of spring practice confirmed his big-play role, and his 22.7 YPC average makes him a weekly boom-bust threat at WR3. Joseph Williams is WR4 as Lewis’s veteran comfort blanket despite offseason surgery, with Ernest Campbell’s 4.18 speed locking in WR5 in Marion’s motion concepts. Hykeem Williams gets WR6 purely on five-star upside and size — he’s earned nothing in three college seasons but remains the only true X-receiver threat on the roster.

Zach Atkins is the lone fantasy-relevant tight end by default; Fisher Clements is a blocker. Elliott Arnold gets the K1 slot with zero FBS experience — a liability worth noting.
