The quarterback position will have a different look next season after what has been a very active NFL free-agent period. Kyler Murray has moved from Arizona to Minnesota, Malik Willis is now the new starter in Miami, and Tua Tagovailoa signed with Atlanta. That’s just a few of the moves that will have a fantasy football impact for both their new and former teams.
We also saw Daniel Jones stay with Indianapolis, which is seen as a positive, as he averaged more than 18 fantasy points per game in his full starts for the Colts in 2025.
With that being said, here are my updated 2026 fantasy football quarterback rankings. I’ll be updating these often throughout the offseason, so keep checking back!
