2026 Fantasy Quarterback Rankings:

1. Josh Allen: Still the best dual-asset fantasy scorer, Allen has closed as a top-three scorer in six consecutive seasons.

2. Jayden Daniels: High upside as a rusher and a passer, as demonstrated during his rookie season when he was QB5 in points per game (20.9) throwing to Zach Ertz, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Noah Brown as his primary options after Terry McLaurin. 2025 was a lost season due to injuries, but a new offensive system will have Daniels playing more under center with increased rates of play-action and pre-snap motion. Daniels has only 33 dropbacks from under center so far. That has led Daniels to use below-league-average rates of pre-snap motion (45.6%, 24th) and play action (24.8%, 18th).

3. Lamar Jackson: Still MVP-caliber upside. Injuries led to a falloff as a passer and rusher last season, and he was still the QB5 in passing points per attempt. Gets a fresh start under a new regime, but has missed multiple games now in five of the past seven seasons.

4. Joe Burrow: QB1 scorer in five of six starts after returning to the lineup showcases the passing upside. Best bet to lead the league in passing touchdowns if he can stay on the field. 6.6% touchdown rate when on the field the past two seasons. Has missed significant time in two of the past three seasons.

5. Justin Herbert: Was the QB2 in overall scoring through nine weeks last year before the end-of-season injury to Joe Alt (QB19 afterward). A healthy offensive line and the addition of Mike McDaniel to run the offense open the ceiling back up.
