Last season, 15 players scored at least 300 fantasy points in Half-PPR leagues. Nine of those players were quarterbacks. That does not include Justin Herbert, who scored 299.9. Quarterbacks as a group score more than players at other positions, and fantasy football managers love players who score points. It only makes sense then that more fantasy football leagues are adopting the 2QB format. Below are my 2QB league rankings for the 2026 season.
Drafting in a 2QB league is completely different than drafting in more traditional leagues. I don’t have any quarterbacks among my top 24 overall players in standard fantasy football drafts. And my personal preference would be to wait even longer to draft a quarterback than what is reflected in my overall rankings in one-QB formats. That is because there is no shortage of solid options in today’s NFL.
What!? Your fantasy football league wasn’t hosted on Fantrax last season!? Once you see how Fantrax stacks up to the competition, we think you’ll be singing a different tune this season.
I have my current QB12 (Bo Nix) projected to score about 278 fantasy points this season. My current QB19 (Baker Mayfield) sits at roughly 263 points. That is a difference of less than a point per game over the course of the season. If the season magically played out exactly as I projected, you could draft Mayfield towards the end of your draft and be close to a top-12 pace at the quarterback position. However, the well dries up very quickly in a 2QB league.
Only 32 quarterbacks are starting each week, and fewer during bye weeks. You don’t want to get left holding the bag when it comes to drafting them. The goal should be to draft at least two quarterbacks who you are confident will start each week. Because of that, fantasy football managers push quarterbacks way up the draft board. This dynamic is reflected in my 2QB league rankings below. While no signal-callers crack my overall top-24 in standard leagues, half of my top 24 players in this format are quarterbacks. A player of Mayfield’s ilk goes from potential streamer or bye week fill-in to weekly starter.
Quarterbacks who are a tier below Mayfield have an even greater increase in value in 2QB leagues compared to regular formats. Geno Smith was a top-12 fantasy quarterback just two times last season. Because of that, the veteran has very little value in 1QB leagues. I have him outside my overall top-250 in those formats. However, Smith is inside my overall top-100 in 2QB leagues. He was a top-24 fantasy quarterback in 11 of 15 games last year. That makes him a viable starting option each week in this format.
Here are my updated 2QB league rankings, which include 300 players overall. All starting quarterbacks and even a few backups are squarely on the radar in these leagues. In a case like the one in Las Vegas where Kirk Cousins is likely to start the season for the Raiders before handing off the reins to Fernando Mendoza, it makes sense to draft both players and treat that week’s starter as your QB2. Drafting either player without the other leaves you open to having to plug a hole that may not be fillable via the waiver wire. If you draft Mendoza, you may want to bump Cousins up a few spots from where I have him below.
