Josh Allen Still Atop the QB Rankings in 2026

Thursday, July 2, 9:59 AM

In what was considered a down year by his own lofty standards, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen still finished as the fantasy QB1. His 3,668 yards through the air and 25 passing touchdowns both marked his lowest totals since 2019, but his unmatched rushing upside allowed him to top the final rankings as he has now done in four of the past six seasons, never slipping below QB2 in that time. Allen leads all quarterbacks with 41 rushing touchdowns over the past three seasons, with Jalen Hurts the only other quarterback to top 20 scores over that stretch. With former offensive coordinator Joe Brady taking over as head coach in 2026, the Bills offense can expect a sense of continuity behind an offensive line that returns four of five starters from a year ago, and with the team sending a second-round pick to acquire veteran receiver DJ Moore, Allen now has arguably his most dangerous weapon since he was regularly topping 4,200 passing yards with Stefon Diggs as his primary receiver. Unsurprisingly, Allen is RotoBaller's QB1 for 2026 and should be the expected 1.01 in most superflex drafts.

Brock Purdy News

Brock Purdy Still Disrespected with a Ranking Outside of Dynasty's Top 12

Wednesday, June 24, 6:00 AM

Selected with the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been stuck with the underdog label for most of his career, and even in dynasty leagues, he remains an undervalued asset despite routinely proving himself among the most valuable at the position. In his first season as a full-time starter, Purdy finished as the QB6 in 2024, and while significant injuries to his number one receiver and running back led to issues of consistency in 2025, he still gutted his way to a QB14 finish in 15 games, closing the season with 31.2 points per game in the final two weeks of the fantasy playoffs. 2025 saw him dealing with a serious turf toe injury for much of the year, but returning in Week 11 and playing the final seven games, he averaged 23.8 points per game, again going nuclear with a 37.7-point average in the fantasy playoffs and QB1 finishes in Weeks 16 and 17. With Christian McCaffrey coming off a 450-touch season, George Kittle already questionable for the start of the year as he recovers from a torn Achilles, and new number one receiver Mike Evans turning 33 before the start of the season, banking on health in San Francisco may not be the soundest strategy, but if the unit can avoid catastrophic derailment, Purdy should prove to be a steal in 2026 and beyond as RotoBaller's dynasty QB13.
