2022 New England Patriots updated depth chart: Week 18 vs. Buffalo Bills

Standing at 8-8, the New England Patriots will take on the Buffalo Bills in a crucial Week 18 showdown. In order to make the playoffs under their own power, the Patriots need a win over their division rivals.

The depth chart below, based on an idea from our friends at Pride Of Detroit, is designed to give fans a brief overview of where the team stands heading into this week’s contest. Players who have been declared inactive or are otherwise unavailable are marked accordingly (their names are in italics) as are projected starters (their names are marked by an asterisk*).

So, with that said, let’s take a look at New England’s current depth chart.
