Heath Cummings ranks quarterbacks for the 2026 fantasy football season
Summary

Heath Cummings released updated fantasy football quarterback tiers based on his 2026 season projections. Josh Allen leads the top tier as the only quarterback currently projected to score more than 24 fantasy points per game. Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts comprise the second tier, with each projected for at least 23 points per game. Cummings highlighted in the third tier are Brock Purdy and Jared Goff, both identified as draft-day values due to current average draft positions outside the top 100. Conversely, Tua Tagovailoa moved to the bottom tier, while Michael Penix, Jr. was added to the rankings. Cummings noted uncertainty regarding playing time for both Tagovailoa and Penix, Jr., complicating their reliability in fantasy formats.
