Overview
- ESPN published its 2026 fantasy quarterback rankings on June 23, 2026, slotting Josh Allen at No. 1, Lamar Jackson at No. 2 and Jalen Hurts at No. 3.
- Hurts is valued for reliability after a 2025 season that included 3,224 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, a 98.5 passer rating and eight rushing TDs which give him a steady weekly floor.
- Jackson’s No. 2 spot rests on his rushing explosiveness and expected passing growth with new Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and weapons such as Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews.
- The top-10 list favors quarterbacks who pair elite rushing value with passing efficiency or who generate high passing volume, which explains why mobile QBs and prolific passers dominate the rankings.
- There are no new roster moves tied to the rankings and trade talk remains speculative, so fantasy managers should watch Philadelphia’s receiver additions and Baltimore’s offensive scheme for signs that could shift player value.
