Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings 2026 — Standard

Josh Allen stands alone at QB1 with a +51.2 draft value, and the cliff below him is the largest on this page — a 34.3-point gap separating him from Tier 2. That gap is the cost of leaving this tier empty: no other quarterback projects anywhere close to his surplus over replacement. Draft him when the pick makes sense; waiting is not a neutral decision.

Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, and Joe Burrow occupy ranks QB2 through QB4, with projected points ranging from 269.6 to 275.8 and draft values clustered between +10.7 and +16.9 — an internal spread of just 6.2 points. That same 6.2-point spread is also the gap to Tier 3, meaning the three quarterbacks in this group are essentially as close to each other as they are to the tier below. Grab whichever of the three is available; the difference between them is small, but the difference between this tier and what follows is not.

Dak Prescott sits alone at QB5 with a +4.5 draft value — still above replacement, but only modestly so. The gap to Tier 4 is 4.5 points, which mirrors his entire surplus, meaning the next tier opens right at replacement level. If Tiers 1 and 2 are gone, Prescott is the last quarterback who projects above replacement on this page.

Tier 4 holds 31 quarterbacks spanning ranks QB6 through QB36, with draft values running from +0.0 (Jalen Hurts) all the way down to -188.3 (Joe Flacco) — an internal spread of 188.3 points that reflects enormous variance in projected outcomes within this group. The top of this tier, from Hurts through Jayden Daniels, sits right at or just below replacement level, making them viable streamers or late-round starters in standard scoring. Beyond roughly QB10, the negative draft values grow steep quickly, so roster construction here is about identifying the least-costly option rather than chasing upside.
