If you've played Fantasy Football for a while you've probably heard about how deep quarterback is from year to year. But by comparison, this year's group is notably deeper than the past three seasons or so. And every other position you'll pick is at least a little less deep, which is why we'll see the best draft-day values come at quarterback.
Where does the depth come from? It's a crossroads of great veteran players still going strong and a new breed of young quarterbacks with awesome potential. By my count there are sixteen quarterbacks I'd be okay starting in Week 1 in one-QB leagues this year and another five I'd love to have on my bench in hopes of a breakout season.
You should come up with your own count as part of your pre-draft preparations. There will be people in your home leagues that take quarterbacks before Round 3. The demand for quarterbacks in one-QB leagues is naturally limited, and the supply for good quarterbacks is strong in 2026.
That said, all four of these quarterbacks have potential to finish as the best QB in Fantasy. It would not be a big mistake to target whoever is available last among these four, provided it's at a value. Just don't get mad at yourself if you don't get any of them.
All four will be very early Round 1 picks in Superflex/two-QB leagues. I'd expect Hurts and Daniels to be the next quarterbacks off the board after those first four. Both have the built-in edge with their rushing, and both could improve their passing numbers with new playcallers.
They represent good value since they have some outstanding upside and can be had rounds after the first four. This will also be the tier for any quarterback that generates a lot of buzz in training camp. I could easily see any of the three quarterbacks in the next tier leaping up here.
