2026 Fantasy Football QB Tiers 3.0: Purdy offers major draft value

Key Points:

• The top-tier quarterback Josh Allen stands out with a projected 25.2 Fantasy points per game (FPPG), making him a strong Round 3 draft pick due to his consistent top-three finishes and potential upside with new teammate DJ Moore.
• Tier 2 quarterbacks, including Jalen Hurts and Carson Daniels, project at least 23 FPPG but carry concerns like injury history and offensive instability; Hurts is noted as a valuable pick often available later in drafts.
• Lower tiers feature quarterbacks like Brock Purdy and Jared Goff, who have solid per-game production and are often undervalued in drafts, making them sleeper options particularly in Superflex leagues.
• Mid-to-lower tiers include high-upside but riskier quarterbacks such as Kyler Murray and Malik Willis, who offer rushing potential but have questions about passing consistency, making them suitable as backup options.
• The lowest tiers consist of quarterbacks expected to start all season but with limited upside or consistency, such as Sam Darnold, Aaron Rodgers, and Jordan Love, who are generally not recommended as primary starters in Fantasy leagues.
