2026 NFL QB Rankings: A vacuum projection of all 32 starters

Dan Wilkins ranks every projected 2026 starting QB in a vacuum, using 2025 analytics (EPA/DB, CPOE, Y/A, QBR) to forecast future performance rather than last year’s results. The piece places Allen, Jackson, and Burrow at the top, explains why Mahomes slides lower than expected, and walks through upside and risk for the rest of the field (Maye, Stroud, Purdy, Lawrence, Hurts, Williams, etc.), treating it as a GM-style exercise in stacking the quarterbacks rather than evaluating them strictly by past performance.

Sayin vs Arch: The Heated Race for 2026's Elite QB Tier

Drake Maye lands at No. 8 in ESPN's QB poll, sparking debate

ESPN surveyed executives, coaches and scouts on current quarterbacks and Drake Maye finished eighth, trailing top QBs like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. The list also included Sam Darnold as an honorable mention, and evaluators praised Maye's size, athleticism, accuracy and upside despite limited weapons and a shaky OL, while others cautioned he needs more proven performance. The article notes the poll reflects who the best players are right now, not long-term projections, and also shares a personal view on a hypothetical 2026 ranking.

Allen tops ESPN QB poll, dethroning Mahomes as NFL’s top quarterback

ESPN’s annual NFL quarterback rankings name Josh Allen No. 1, ahead of Patrick Mahomes at No. 2. Allen’s 2.10 average ballot and 34.1% first-place votes helped him edge Mahomes, who slips for the first time since 2022. Analysts laud Allen’s elite two-way production (200 passing TDs and 50 rushing TDs) while noting Mahomes’ injury-related concerns and play-style critiques after last season’s ups-and-downs.
