Once again, quarterback is the deepest position in Fantasy this season, and it pays to wait for a starter on Draft Day. I can make an argument for 21 quarterbacks to average at least 20 Fantasy points per game in leagues that reward six points for passing touchdowns. Now, that doesn't mean pass on Josh Allen or any other top-tier player if the price is right.
But finding value is the key, and we're here to help. These are quarterback tiers you can follow on Draft Day, and they are a better guide than just going down a rank list. I'll tell you the round range for these quarterbacks, as well as some stats of note, and this blueprint should help you dominate your league.
Allen's Average Draft Position on CBS Sports is at No. 19 overall, and it continues to rise. The earliest I would draft him is Round 3, but he does get a tier by himself. Allen has been either the No. 1 or No. 2 Fantasy quarterback in five of the past six years, with his worst finish over that span at No. 4.
This should be another big season for Allen with the addition of D.J. Jackson averaged under 20 Fantasy points per game in 2025 (19.8) for the first time since his rookie campaign in 2018. He scored at least 30 Fantasy points in each of his first three outings last year before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4.
I doubt he averages more than 30 Fantasy points per game this season, but he has two years on his resume at that total. Maye (24.3 Fantasy points per game) was the No. 3 quarterback last season behind Matthew Stafford (26.1) and Allen (24.4), and the Patriots added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason.
The schedule is tougher for Maye in 2026 compared to 2025, but the production could still be better for him with his improved weapons. Burrow missed eight games in 2025 with a toe injury, but he averaged 24.8 Fantasy points per game in his final six outings when he was healthy. He averaged 26.9 Fantasy points per game in 2024 when he played all season, and we hope Burrow can stay on the field for all 17 games in 2026.
