   ​The Top-2 | Getty Images In less than two weeks, the 2026 NFL season kicks off. The big wave of drafts for season-long redraft fantasy leagues is here. It’s time for my final rankings and tiers for fantasy football. I’m starting with the quarterbacks.You can find my preliminary quarterback rankings and tiers, with commentary and analysis, here. And you can find all my preseason fantasy content, including players to target and avoid, sleepers, drafting tips, and much more, here.My QB rankings assume four points per passing TD. My rankings haven’t moved a lot over the last month. Notably, I dropped Jayden Daniels down a tier because I’m really worried about the Commanders’ offensive line, and I bumped Justin Herbert up several spots as I think I had him too low. Finally, I broke my last tier into two pieces.The key takeaway here is that quarterback is insanely deep with quality and upside.
