Quarterbacks

Updated: 4/30/2026


My off-season PPR dynasty rankings gaze into the future with a two-year emphasis. As the season begins, a more narrow approach to the rankings will occur as we try to win a championship. Positional dynamics play an important factor. We know that running backs tend to have shorter careers while top flight quarterbacks can stick in the league for 10-plus seasons. Other considerations include age, contract situation, durability, consistency, supporting cast and more.

COMMENTS
  Josh Allen, BUF: A top 5 fantasy QB each of the last six seasons.

  Drake Maye, NE: Offense throws the ball deep with success.

  Jayden Daniels, WAS: 7 games played in 2025 due to elbow injury.

  Lamar Jackson, BAL: Injuries led to a down year in 2025. New HC.

  Caleb Williams, CHI: Ben Johnson is a spark for Caleb.

  Jalen Hurts, PHI: Passing stats improved in 2025, but rushing took a hit.

  Joe Burrow, CIN: Turf toe limited Burrow to 8 games in 2025.

  Justin Herbert, LAC: Rushing performance in 2025 was encouraging.

  Jaxson Dart, NYG: Mobility on display with 9 rushing TDs.

  Patrick Mahomes, KC: ACL/LCL injury in December 2025.

  Trevor Lawrence, JAC: Wk 12 on was a gigantic fantasy success for Lawrence.

  Bo Nix, DEN: Rollercoaster outputs aren't ideal.

Fernando Mendoza, LV: Rookie. Lacking talented wideouts currently but TE and RB positions are solidified.

  Brock Purdy, SF: Aging skill players (McCaffrey, Kittle) is a concern.

  Jordan Love, GB: Lack of rushing may keep Love in the high-end QB2 range.

  Cam Ward, TEN: Dismal rookie season got marginally better towards the end.

  Dak Prescott, DAL: Assuming Pickens sticks, Dak could deliver again in 2026.

  Sam Darnold, SEA: The definition of a mid-range QB2.

  C.J. Stroud, HOU: Rookie season (2023) remains his high-water mark.

  Tyler Shough, NO: Should be the starter in 2026. Weapons are needed.

  Jared Goff, DET: Finished as the QB6 despite 45 rush yds and 0 rush TDs.

  Baker Mayfield, TB: Loss of Liam Coen led to big drop-off in 2025. No Mike Evans.

  Kyler Murray, MIN: Foot injury cost him 12 games. Good landing spot in MIN.

  Malik Willis, MIA: Miami gives him the opportunity to prove he's a long-term starter. Rushing upside.

  Bryce Young, CAR: Upside is lacking.

Ty Simpson, LAR: Rookie. Not likely to have 2026 impact. Long-term replacement for Stafford.

  Matthew Stafford, LAR: Overall QB2 in 2025 despite rushing ability. Good short-term value.

  Daniel Jones, IND: Achilles injury in December 2025.

  Tua Tagovailoa, ATL: Gets a fresh start in Atlanta. Zero rushing upside.

  Shedeur Sanders, CLE: Wide range of outcomes for Sanders.

  Geno Smith, NYJ: Nothing appealing here at age 35.

  Michael Penix Jr., ATL: ACL injury in mid-November 2025. Tua the starter?

  Jacoby Brissett, ARI: May be a starter in 2026 after garbage time fueled performance in 2025.

  J.J. McCarthy, MIN: Career off to a rocky start.

  Anthony Richardson, FA: Not great at throwing but has tantalizing rushing upside.

Aaron Rodgers, PIT: One more year?

  Justin Fields, KC: Benched in 2025. Mahomes backup in 2026.

  Jalen Milroe, SEA: High-end running ability.

  Deshaun Watson, CLE: Achilles injury in 2024. Setback.

  Mac Jones, SF: Could be a starter in 2026 but will need a trade from SF.

Carson Beck, ARI: Rookie

  Quinn Ewers, MIA: Would likely top out at a mid-range QB2 if he ever gets a starting gig.

  Kirk Cousins, LV: May have early-season 2026 value.

  Marcus Mariota, WAS: Free agent in 2026.

  Spencer Rattler, NO: Lost QB battle to Shough.
