🎯 2026 FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT QB RANKINGS (1-24) 🏈
Good Quarterback strategy is essential in draft rooms this year! Whether you are looking to secure a dual-threat elite option early or wait for high-upside value late, here is the complete breakdown of my Draft QB Rankings (1-24) for the 2026 season:
Josh Allen (QB, BUF)
Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL)
Drake Maye (QB, NE)
Joe Burrow (QB, CIN)
Jayden Daniels (QB, WAS)
Justin Herbert (QB, LAC)
Caleb Williams (QB, CHI)
Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAC)
Jalen Hurts (QB, PHI)
Dak Prescott (QB, DAL)
Brock Purdy (QB, SF)
Bo Nix (QB, DEN)
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson remain at the top of the board given their dual-threat ceiling. Drake Maye jumps into the top 3 following a major leap in New England’s offensive system, while dual threats Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams provide massive upside inside the top 8.
Jaxson Dart (QB, NYG)
Matthew Stafford (QB, LAR)
Patrick Mahomes II (QB, KC)
Kyler Murray (QB, MIN)
Jared Goff (QB, DET)
Malik Willis (QB, MIA)
Jordan Love (QB, GB)
Baker Mayfield (QB, TB)
Tyler Shough (QB, NO)
Daniel Jones (QB, IND)
C.J. Stroud (QB, HOU)
Sam Darnold (QB, SEA)
Second-year Jaxson Dart claims the top spot in this next section as a dual-threat signal caller in New York. Meanwhile, veterans like Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff lock in safe passing volume, and dual-threat options like Malik Willis (MIA) and Kyler Murray (MIN) offer week-winning rushing floors in their new setups.
