Sort by attribute…
1Josh AllenQBBUF22.7Allen's 22.8% rush share and 14 rushing TDs give him a QB1 floor that no arm-only quarterback can match, and 2026 projects nearly identical volume with a deeper target tree around him.
2Jalen HurtsQBPHI61.9Rushing upside and a cleaner passing offense keep Hurts firmly in the QB1 conversation at an ADP of 61.9, even after a partial 2025 campaign.
3Brock PurdyQBSF109.0A tier-1 pass offense and 536 projected attempts make the rebound case real, but a 30% spike rate and thin floor demand patience at a late ADP.
4Drake MayeQBNE52.5Maye posted 353 actual fantasy points at age 22, and a true WR1 arrival in New England makes the sophomore leap the most credible QB story of the offseason.
5Jayden DanielsQBWAS60.2After a partial 2025 season, Daniels returns as a dual-threat QB5 candidate projecting 452 attempts and a ground game that produced 278 rush yards and 2 TDs in just 7 games.
6Lamar JacksonQBBAL40.9A partial 2025 season obscures the real case: a tier-1 QB situation projecting 326 points with a 386.9 ceiling and 30.8% spike rate.
7Jaxson DartQBNYG109.4A 22-year-old rookie starter who turned 243.5 actual points in 14 games into a 323-point projection on rushing upside alone.
8Trevor LawrenceQBJAX91.4Lawrence posted 342 actual points in 2025 and projects at 323 in 2026, but a tier-3 pass offense and thin receiver room make floor management the real story.
9Joe BurrowQBCIN54.8After a partial 2025 season, Burrow returns to a tier-1 passing offense with 550 projected attempts and Ja'Marr Chase still the league's most dangerous target.
10Patrick MahomesQBKC118.5Mahomes projects a 33-point jump from his 14-game 2025, but a tier-3 pass offense and 556 attempts give his floor real limits at this ADP.
11Matthew StaffordQBLAR115.4A tier-1 passing offense at 37 years old, Stafford's 570 projected attempts and 306-point ceiling make him a high-upside late-round QB target.
12Kyler MurrayQBMIN130.7Murray projects for 517 pass attempts in Minnesota's bottom-tier passing offense after logging just 5 games in 2025, making him a high-variance dart with real upside at a deep-discount ADP.
13Dak PrescottQBDAL78.8Prescott posted 311.8 actual points in 2025, but a tier drop in pass offense and a 17.6% spike rate make the projection hard to trust at this ADP.
14Baker MayfieldQBTB147.5Tampa's pass offense jumped from tier-5 to tier-2 in one offseason, and Mayfield's 542 projected attempts give him a clear QB1 path at a discount ADP.
15Caleb WilliamsQBCHI72.2Williams threw for a QB11-caliber 317 points in 2025 with a receiver room now headlined by Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, and 557 projected attempts give him a clear path to repeat.
16Jared GoffQBDET128.0Goff has topped 300 fantasy points in back-to-back seasons behind 564 projected pass attempts in a tier-1 passing offense, yet his ADP sits at 128.
17Justin HerbertQBLAC77.8Herbert projects nearly identical to his 2025 actual on 544 pass attempts, but a tier-3 pass offense and 29.4% spike rate cap his best-ball ceiling among QB2s.
18Bo NixQBDEN112.5A tier-5 pass offense caps Nix's ceiling, but 570 projected attempts and 356 rushing yards last year make him a viable streaming QB in deeper leagues.
19Daniel JonesQBIND160.2Jones gets 500 projected pass attempts in a tier-4 passing offense, but a 7.7% spike rate and a wide 121-to-335 point range make him a volatile late-round dart.
20Jordan LoveQBGB148.4Love's pass offense jumps from tier-3 to tier-2 in 2026, and 496 projected attempts give him a real path to outscoring a QB20 price tag.
21C.J. StroudQBHOU160.1After a partial 2025 season, Stroud projects 510 pass attempts in a tier-5 pass offense with the thinnest receiver depth of any QB in this range.
22Sam DarnoldQBSEA152.8Darnold totaled 243 points in 2025 and projects nearly flat at 254 in 2026 inside a tier-4 passing offense with a 148 floor and thin upside.
23Fernando MendozaQBLV160.6A rookie QB1 in Las Vegas carries a tier-8 pass offense and a 15% spike rate, making him a deep best-ball dart worth monitoring.
24Tyler ShoughQBNO154.7A tier-7 QB situation with a 101-point floor and zero spike-week history makes Shough a late-round gamble with real bust exposure.
25Shedeur SandersQBCLEShedeur Sanders inherits 450 projected pass attempts in Cleveland, but a tier-6 pass offense and a 72.8 floor make him a streaming afterthought in best ball.
26Aaron RodgersQBPIT163.2A 42-year-old QB in a tier-6 pass offense with a 5.9% spike rate and negative VORP is a stream option, not a roster anchor.
27Jacoby BrissettQBARI164.9Cardinals backup veteran. Tier-2 pass-O context exists but he's behind Murray — projection only relevant if Murray misses extended time, which model doesn't bake in.
