1. Josh Allen
I still have Allen as my top dynasty quarterback. He is 30 years old and heading into his ninth year in the NFL.
He's still an elite dual-threat quarterback, and I see that continuing for several more years yet. Eventually, he could get passed by young quarterbacks, but it's hard to argue against Allen since he continues to lead the position.
2. Drake Maye
Maye is the No. 2 dynasty QB after a breakout second season. He nearly was named MVP, and he's just 23 years old, so he had a strong argument for the top spot already.
If Maye delivers again in 2026, he could hop ahead of Allen. Regardless of where Maye is ranked, if you have him on your dynasty squad, you have to feel great about your future championship aspirations.
I was skeptical of keeping Daniels this high, but I'm trying not to let one injury-filled season change my perspective of him too much. He only got in seven games a year ago, after looking elite as a rookie in 2024.
If Daniels struggles in 2026, or continues to battle injuries, we'll have no choice but to drop him in the rankings. But the 25-year-old still has a bright future, and hopefully can stay healthy moving forward and show off that dual-threat stardom.
Jackson sits No. 4 in my dynasty quarterback rankings. Part of that is due to him being 29 years old now, while another part is him coming off an injury-filled season.
He still got in 13 games, but he was a fantasy bust because he missed several games, and portions of others. When healthy, he can be another elite dual-threat QB, but as he ages, he's a riskier option, so I think the No. 4 spot is a perfect one for him.
Williams sits No. 5 in my rankings. He improved a bit in his second NFL season, but needs to take his game up another level to rank any higher.
The 24-year-old has a super talented team around him, and Williams should be competing for MVP as a result. Until he does that though, I'm not ranking him any higher.
6. Joe Burrow
Burrow is coming off another injury-filled season, and he's 29 years old now, so he's trending down on dynasty ranking lists. I still have him sixth, just because he can be elite when healthy.
He's not a dual-threat QB, but big passing numbers make Burrow a top-end fantasy quarterback. Hopefully he can stay healthy and show that high-level play for the next few seasons, but it will be hard to rank Burrow higher than this as he ages.
Mahomes is down to No. 7 on my dynasty QB rankings. He's 30 years old now and is coming off a major injury, so both those things are working against him.
I still see big years ahead for Mahomes, but he's regressed since 2022, so I decided to rank him seventh. He's more likely to drop than improve in the rankings going forward as well.
Herbert is the eighth-ranked dynasty QB now, but has the chance to rise a bit yet. He's 28 years old, so that gives him the chance to pass Burrow and Mahomes in time.
Herbert has underwhelmed the past two years, and not dealt with big-time injuries in either year, so he's running out of time to emerge as an elite fantasy QB. We'll see if Herbert can emerge as that guy in 2026.
Lawrence is No. 9 in my rankings, and he could rise several spots if he excels like he did late in the 2025 season. He's still only 26 years old, so he could hop several of the older quarterbacks.
Jacksonville is building, and should be a contender for the next few seasons. If Lawrence takes his game to a new level, the Jaguars could have a chance to win a couple Super Bowls, and the QB would rise in the dynasty rankings going forward.
10. Bo Nix
I decided to give Nix the final spot in my top-10 rankings. He's just 26 years old, and has shown some good things across his first two seasons.
He's not likely to ever crack the top five, but he could be an above-average fantasy QB for the next several years, so don't overlook the Denver quarterback.
Others to Keep Tabs On
There's several quarterbacks who are in the league now who could work into the top 10 in the future. And of course, some QBs currently in college could get there in the future.
Some quarterbacks who were close to the top 10 were Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love, Jaxson Dart and Brock Purdy. Others, like Fernando Mendoza, Cam Ward, Tyler Shough, C.J. Stroud and even Bryce Young could get on the top-10 list one day.
And of course, there's other veteran quarterbacks out there who can hold their own as fantasy assets until you lock in a good, young dynasty QB. Depending on your league settings and rosters, sometimes going older at QB can be the best option in dynasty leagues, at least for as long as you are looking for the next Allen or Maye.
