FantasyPros Picks 4 QBs for 2026, Led by Josh Allen's 374.5-Point QB1 Season

3 articles · Updated · FantasyPros · Aug 5

Summary

  • Four quarterbacks — Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford — were singled out by FantasyPros as the safest 2026 fantasy options for steady weekly production.
  • 374.5 fantasy points made Allen the 2025 QB1, extending a three-year run of top-two finishes; FantasyPros said his goal-line rushing still gives him the strongest floor.
  • 305.0 points kept Hurts in the QB9 range last season despite A.J. Brown's exit, with Philadelphia's likely heavier two-tight-end usage expected to preserve his rushing-driven value.
  • Mahomes is already in training camp after a torn ACL in Week 15 of 2025, and FantasyPros still views him as reliable even with Kansas City's thin receiver group.
  • 358.3 points lifted Stafford to QB3 in 2025, and his one-year, $55 million return to a Rams team loaded with Davante Adams and Puka Nacua makes him a potential draft bargain.

Is Matthew Stafford the ultimate late-round fantasy steal in 2026, or does his age present a hidden risk for draft managers?
Will the Eagles' new run-heavy scheme elevate Jalen Hurts' fantasy floor or completely destroy his passing ceiling without A.J. Brown?
