Josh Allen leads fantasy football quarterback rankings entering 2026 NFL season

Josh Allen occupies the top spot in fantasy football quarterback rankings heading into the 2026 season. The Buffalo Bills signal-caller accounted for 66.3% of his team's offensive yardage last year and maintained high rushing totals. Lamar Jackson holds the second position, with expectations of a bounce-back year as a runner in a new offensive scheme. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow ranks third, supported by a career track record of high passing yardage when healthy. Drake Maye, who finished as the second-ranked fantasy quarterback in 2025, lands in the fourth spot following team investments in his receiving corps and offensive line. Justin Herbert rounds out the top five, with analysts pointing toward improved protection from the Los Angeles Chargers offensive line as a catalyst for growth this season.
