Fantasy football season is almost here, and half of the fun is in the preparation for your live drafts. I hope you don’t use automatic drafts, but if you do, you should know this information as well. Which players have gone to favorable situations, and which ones have not? The influx of all of the young talent in the league has had an impact on how we draft the last few seasons, so let’s take a look at the “Best Fantasy QBs” heading into 2026. Many questions when it comes to fantasy football, and we are here to show you the surefire picks at each position.
On this list, we will give you the top 10 QBs for 2026, but be careful, once you get out of the top 10, production tends to drop dramatically.
- Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills – Allen remains at the top, whether it be throwing or passing. He remains the touchdown king when it comes to surefire quarterbacks and fantasy points.
- Drake Maye, New England Patriots – There is no reason why Maye’s ceiling couldn’t be infinite; he is one of the best young QBs in the game, and it will be more of the same in 2026.
- Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens– He should be 100% healthy coming into 2026, and he has been one of the greatest dual threats that the league has ever seen. He will return to form.
- Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders – Second-year slump for Daniels was just a blip on the radar. I expect this season to be a rebound from 2024.
- Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers – Injuries and movement all around him, but he remains as consistent as they come.
- Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles – Hurts has some added firepower this season and will look to spray the ball all over the yard in 2026. He will return to very few turnovers as well.
- Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears – I’ve said it a million times. Head coaching, systems, and schemes matter, especially to a QB. Last season was no fluke.
- Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals – The offensive line has been bolstered, but will it be enough to keep him vertical this season? Time will tell, but he is definitely still top-10 talent.
- Bo Nix, Denver Broncos – He will deliver more often than not, and while not always pretty, his defense is there to pick him up and keep him in every game.
- Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs – As long as Mahomes is still breathing, he is a favorite to make it back to the Super Bowl.
