The quarterback position might be the most disrespected in fantasy football, at least if you’re playing in a traditional, non-Superflex format. That’s in stark contrast to the actual NFL, which values the position highly and often sees teams overpaying with draft capital in hopes of landing a franchise player (see 2021 draft disasters Zach Wilson and Trey Lance).
Unlike the real NFL, good quarterbacks can be had in the middle to late rounds in fantasy drafts. Heck, just look at some of the best players at the position last season … Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott and Jared Goff were all in the top 10.
Yet none of them were picked in the top 100 based on average draft position (ADP) data.
That being said, here are my 2026 fantasy quarterback rankings … now with auction values! I’ll be updating these often throughout the summer, so keep checking back!
_Note: Auction values are based on a $200 budget._
