Fantasy Football Player Notes

2026 Draft Rankings

Position

Team

Josh Allen Note
	1. Josh Allen BUF (vs . NYJ)

Lamar Jackson Note
	2. Lamar Jackson BAL (vs . PIT)

Drake Maye Note
	3. Drake Maye NE (vs . MIA)

Joe Burrow Note
	4. Joe Burrow CIN (vs . CLE)

Jayden Daniels Note
	5. Jayden Daniels WAS (vs . DAL)

Jalen Hurts Note
	6. Jalen Hurts PHI (at NYG)

Justin Herbert Note
	7. Justin Herbert LAC (at DEN) Justin Herbert finished the 2025 season as the QB10 in PPG, mostly on the back of his rushing production (6th in rushing yards per game at 31.1). Career highs in rushing yards and carries. Tied Josh Allen with the most boom finishes (4). But the losses on the offensive line crushed his ceiling, along with his own injuries. With a healthier and revamped OL in 2026, Herbert can flirt with elite fantasy QB status. Five games with Joe Alt in 2025: Hebert averaged nearly 24 PPG (23.9). 12 games without Alt? 16.2 PPG. 9 weeks ago

Jaxson Dart Note
	8. Jaxson Dart NYG (vs . PHI) Jaxson Dart is on the Drake Maye Year 2 path with a proven HC in John Harbaugh. As a rookie, the dual-threat QB finished 3rd in fantasy points per dropback (0.60). Tied with Maye. 20.7 PPG (40.5 rushing yards per game). An easy candidate to make a massive sophomore leap, especially if Malik Nabers can return to form off his torn ACL injury. 17 weeks ago

Caleb Williams Note
	9. Caleb Williams CHI (at MIN) Caleb Williams is poised to take another step forward in his second season with Ben Johnson. Chicago is littered with young talent at the skill positions. He is a dual-threat QB who already finished 2025 as the QB7 in PPG (19.1). Top-10 in fantasy QB1 finisher rate (50%). And that was despite him ranking dead last in completion rate over expectation (-7.4%). Another step forward could easily vault the former first overall pick into the fantasy top 5 among QBs. 17 weeks ago

Trevor Lawrence Note
	10. Trevor Lawrence JAC (at IND)

Dak Prescott Note
	11. Dak Prescott DAL (at WAS)

Brock Purdy Note
	12. Brock Purdy SF (at ARI)

Patrick Mahomes II Note
	13. Patrick Mahomes II KC (vs . LV) Our first report on Patrick Mahomes' return from injury came on January 15th, when he claimed that he is aiming to return for Week 1 with no restrictions. Given his mid-December surgery, Week 1 seems aggressively optimistic (less than 9 months). That's really the main question mark regarding Mahomes - when will he return and how effective will he be? Especially with his mobility. Mahomes ran a lot more in 2025 than he has in years past, hitting career-highs across the board (QB2 in PPG). But his passing has dipped in four consecutive seasons. And the injury makes it seem very much less likely we get Mahomes running nearly as much, especially to keep him out of harm's way. Low-end QB1 territory feels right for the Chiefs QB, weighing his early-season performance with a high return in the latter portion of the 2026 season. 17 weeks ago

Matthew Stafford Note
	14. Matthew Stafford LAR (vs . SEA)

Bo Nix Note
	15. Bo Nix DEN (vs . LAC)

Jared Goff Note
	16. Jared Goff DET (at GB)

Kyler Murray Note
	17. Kyler Murray MIN (vs . CHI)

Jordan Love Note
	18. Jordan Love GB (vs . DET) Jordan Love is really efficient. He finished second in the NFL in 2025 in EPA/dropback. But GB's commitment to the run (4th-highest rush rate) hurt his fantasy appeal. Losing his No. 1 playmaker in Tucker Kraft also hurt his fantasy numbers (17.8 PPG, QB14). If GB leans more into their franchise QB/pass game with a strong supporting cast in 2026, we could very much see Love post an MVP-statistical season with strong passing TD rates. 17 weeks ago

Malik Willis Note
	19. Malik Willis MIA (at NE)

Tyler Shough Note
	20. Tyler Shough NO (vs . TB)

Baker Mayfield Note
	21. Baker Mayfield TB (at NO) Baker Mayfield was averaging 18.5 PPG Weeks 1-11 (QB10). Got hurt in Week 12. 14.2 PPG to end the season in the last 7 weeks. Mayfield seems like a logical bounce-back candidate in 2026, with better injury luck to Tampa's offensive line and WRs. Even so, use Mayfield's 2025 season as a reason to fade outlier passing TD rates. 7.2% in 2024 was well above his career average (5.0). Posted a 4.8% TD rate in 2025. 17 weeks ago
