For those of us preparing for XFL DFS, there is some good news. We have official depth charts! Well, not all of them yet, but they are hitting the internet and we’ll get them to you here. With such new teams these depth charts will likely change quickly, but this should be how they start out Week 1, which will help us a lot when trying to set our lineups.
Josh Johnson is listed as the starter but reportedly has an undisclosed injury, making him a game-time decision in Week 1. Charl Karloff would get the start if he can’t go.
Tre McBride’s backup status is surprising, as he is a burner and almost stuck in the NFL. It will be interesting to see if he ends up returning punts or kickoffs, as the new XFL rules give returners a leg up, but for now we can’t use him in DFS until we know he’ll get snaps.
Elijah Hood is the starting running back and should get a good workload between the tackles, especially if Johnson isn’t playing in Week 1.
