3 Fantasy Football Busts to Avoid: Quarterbacks (2026)
Key Points:
- Brock Purdy, ranked QB11 by FantasyPros, is unlikely to finish as a top-12 fantasy quarterback this season due to injuries and a weakened supporting cast on the 49ers offense.
- Jaxson Dart, ranked QB12, showed promise as a rookie but faces concerns over concussion risks, a new offensive coordinator with a poor recent track record, and limited offensive weapons with the Giants.
- Malik Willis, ranked QB21, carries high expectations with a lucrative contract from the Dolphins, but limited starting experience, a weak receiving corps, and offensive line challenges make him a risky fantasy option.
- All three quarterbacks face significant obstacles that suggest their current fantasy rankings may be inflated relative to their likely end-of-season performances.
