Fantasy QB Rankings 2026
Fantasy season is here and I love ranking and researching players. So here is my top 10 QB list and what round I would take them in a 12-team draft. This is based on a 4-pt passing TD scoring system
Josh Allen: Allen has finished as QB1 or QB2 for 6 straight season and there is no reason to believe that wont change this year. He got upgrade to his receiving room with the addition of DJ Moore and keeps the same offensive system. End of 3rd round.
Lamar Jackson: Lamar is a huge boom or bust QB. When he hits, he is a fantasy breaker. His 2019 and 2024 seasons were 2 of the top 10 of all time. I believe he will bounce back from last years after being freed from Harbaugh and his system. Middle of the 4th round.
Jalen Hurts: I really think that Hurts and the rest of the Eagles offense was really held back by Kevin Patullo. I think that this Eagles core has one last hurrah this year with a couple aging offensive lineman. I see Hurts regaining his rushing TD prowess. 6th round.
Jayden Daniels: I value QB's to run the ball more than a pocket passing QB, which is obvious by this top 4 ranking. I want to believe that Daniels is more like 2024 version we saw, rather than 2025. His decision making needs to return to 2024 and he needs to avoid more big hits. The upside is undeniable. 6th round.
Joe Burrow: If Burrow can stay healthy he is consistently a top 8 QB. In his three full playing years he has finished as QB 8, 4, 3. The Bengals offense profiles to be a top 5 unit in the league. If they are successful, so is Burrow. 7th round.
Drake Maye: Not to sound like a hater, but I think the Patriots beneifted from their schedule so much last season, that they are going to regress big time this year. If you are someone who disagrees, then feel free to draft Maye right after Lamar Jackson. AJ Brown is a plus for him however, and an upgraded defense should help take some pressure off of him. 7th round.
Trevor Lawrence: I am buying Lawrence second half of last year as an expectation for this coming year. Liam Coen offense's always put up big fantasy numbers and I see this year as no different. The rushing TD number is going to come down but I still see Lawrence as a top 8 guy. 9th round.
Caleb Williams: Williams' upside is second to only the elite QB's in the league. However, his accuracy must improve to be a true fantasy weapon. His playmaking ability is off the charts and I am hoping a second year with Ben Johnson will help with the rhythm and timing of his throws to play more on schedule. 10th round.
Dak Prescott: If you think that Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens are going to both have big years, then you have to like Dak. We have seen Dak put up a top 8 QB finish 5 different times. He was QB6 last year. I am not sure why he is not being drafted in some leagues. He is a rock solid starter and great to pair with Lamb or Pickens. 10th round.
Matthew Stafford: The reigning MVP is going undrafted in most leagues. I cannot remember the last time that has happened, and I am not sure why. Yes he is aging and has put up some mediocre seasons, but he is one of the most talwnted teams of all-time. Sean McVay has shown that even when his team is up multiple scores that they do not stop passing the ball. Puka and Davante is a top 5 WR duo in the league. Ill take the reigning MVP for free everytime. 13th round.
Honorable Mentions: Justin Herbert, Jaxson Dart, Bo Nix, Patrick Mahomes
