Fantasy Football 2026: Final QB rankings and tiers
Final QB rankings to help you set your draft board
As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the final rankings and tiers for fantasy football quarterbacks have been released. Quarterback is projected to be an incredibly deep position with a multitude of high-quality and high-upside players to choose from. Here are the final rankings and tiers:
Tier I – The One of One: Josh Allen leads the pack as the clear-cut top quarterback. The confidence in his arm strength, accuracy, and ability to make plays from anywhere on the field is unparalleled.
Tier II – The Elites: Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow round out the second tier. All four possess elite skill sets and have proven themselves capable of putting up huge numbers, making them must-start options in most leagues.
Tier III – Solid QB1s: A solid group of quarterbacks that are still highly valuable in fantasy formats. This tier includes Jayden Daniels, Dak Prescott, Caleb Williams, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goff, and Jaxson Dart. While not quite at the elite level, all of these players have enough upside to justify starting.
Tier IV – Overflow QB1s: The overflow tier includes Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes, and Bo Nix. These quarterbacks are still top-tier talent, but their availability in fantasy drafts may be limited due to injury concerns or other factors.
Tier V – The Upside Guys: Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love, Malik Willis, and Sam Darnold round out the fifth tier. These players have high ceilings and the potential to have breakout seasons. They may not be starting caliber right now, but could easily move into the top tiers given the right circumstances.
Tier VI – The Rest: The remainder of the rankings include Daniel Jones, Bryce Young, Jacoby Brissett, Aaron Rodgers, C.J. Stroud, Cam Ward, Geno Smith, Michael Penix, Jr., Kirk Cousins, Tua Tagovailoa, Shedeur Sanders, and DeShaun Watson. While still quality players, they may be more situational or late-round options depending on the specific league formats and needs.
