The 2026 fantasy football season is shaping up to be a quarterback-driven affair, with Matthew Stafford, Jaxson Dart, and Jared Goff leading the charge in the 11th to 20th tier of fantasy quarterback rankings. These players offer a mix of passing production and dual-threat potential, making them viable options for fantasy managers looking to fill out their rosters with reliable starters.
Matthew Stafford enters 2026 off an MVP season with 46 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. While his age raises some concerns, the Rams’ offensive weapons and coaching staff give him a strong chance to repeat or even improve. Projected for 305 fantasy points, Stafford remains a top-15 fantasy quarterback heading into the season.
Jaxson Dart, the Giants’ rookie sensation, had a promising debut despite missing out on the full support of wideout Malik Nabers. His dual-threat ability is a major asset, and he’s expected to rush for 670 yards and nine touchdowns while passing for 20 scores. Dart’s 305 projected fantasy points make him a solid QB2 option.
Jared Goff, though coming off a down year due to offensive line woes, is projected for a strong bounce back with 4,600 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. Detroit’s easy schedule and upgraded weapons should help Goff return to form. His 304 fantasy points make him a top-20 QB heading into 2026.
Tyler Shough, Malik Willis, and Patrick Mahomes all bring unique skill sets to the table. Shough’s improvement throughout the season and 304 projected points make him a potential QB1. Willis offers 710 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, while Mahomes, despite a torn ACL, is expected to return to form with 302 fantasy points.
