These 2026 Dynasty QB Rankings start with our award-winning projections … and then get even better.
We take a weighted average of each player’s projection for this season plus his past two years of actual production. From there, we build out three-year, five-year, and 10-year projections to help assess each player’s long-term outlook.
Plus, you’ll find two decades of NFL research combined with a series of machine-learning models to deliver aging curves and expected retirement rates specific to every QB archetype.
The result: The clearest possible picture of a player’s current and long-term value.

DS Analysis
Murray was a huge disappointment in 2024, right alongside an underwhelming Marvin Harrison Jr. That trend continued in 2025, this time with the QB missing most of the season with a foot injury. While he remains under contract, there's a real chance Murray plays elsewhere in 2026.

23.02 | 8 | 28.7 | 259 | 810 | 1,317 | 2,518 | Darnold followed up his breakout 2024 with a solid '25. The former third overall pick threw for 4,048 yards, 25 TDs, and 14 INTs with a 67.6% completion rate. He finished QB13 in total fantasy points; QB20 in points per game. We don't see a high ceiling here, but Darnold should supply serviceable fantasy totals in the near term. | 3 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9.11 | 10 | 23.7 | 253 | 788 | 1,332 | 2,572 | Ward’s college journey took him from Incarnate Word to Washington State to Miami. The top pick improved at each stop, throwing for 4,313 yards, 39 TDs, and seven INTs for the Hurricanes in 2024. Ward showed the ability to extend plays and make accurate throws all over the field. Ultimately, Ward's rookie tape showed extreme highs and lows, but he simply wasn't surrounded by a quality pass-catching group. Look for offseason upgrades there. Meanwhile, Ward will learn a new offense as he enters Year 2. | 3 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

14.10 | 14 | 24.5 | 244 | 759 | 1,283 | 2,477 | Young's rookie year was nothing short of a disaster: 2,877 yards, 11 TDs, and 11 INTs across 16 games. HC Dave Canales arrived to help Young post a promising 2024 – particularly later in the season. From Week 12 on, the 'Bama product ranked sixth in QB fantasy points. His supporting cast received a boost with the arrival of Round 1 WR Tetairoa McMillan in 2025. Still, he underwhelmed for fantasy with a QB18 finish. We're not expecting a major breakout in the fall. | -2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
