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.

Trevor Lawrence Trying to Become More Efficient Deep Down the Field

Thursday, June 25, 8:41 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had his best season as a pro in 2025 in head coach Liam Coen's first year with the team. The 26-year-old former first overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Clemson went 13-4 in the regular season in 2025 with 4,007 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 17 starts. He added a career-high 359 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 82 carries. Lawrence finished sixth in the league in passing yards and fifth in passing touchdowns. Expectations are now high in 2026 for a repeat in Coen's offense, and RotoBaller has Lawrence ranked just inside the top-10 fantasy QBs. With a strong offensive scheme helping him and plenty of weapons in the passing game, Lawrence is set up for success, but he's been working hard this offseason to try to improve as a deep passer and to improve his chemistry with receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had a down sophomore campaign. Lawrence completed just 36.1% of passes 20-plus yards down the field in 2025. If Lawrence and the Jags can improve their efficiency downfield, a true breakout for the signal-caller could be coming.
