2026 Fantasy Football: Week 10 Quarterback Rankings

Welcome to our Week 10 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings!

Last week, C.J. Stroud finished as the overall QB1 for the first time this season after exploding for 36.4 fantasy points against the Chargers. Stroud sent a clear reminder that we need to keep picking on the Chargers defense and starting opposing quarterbacks every single week. Following Stroud was Jordan Love, who annihilated the Patriots to the tune of 36.2 fantasy points. Furthermore, Joe Burrow rounded out the elite group by finishing as the QB3 with 29.5 fantasy points. Burrow has now finished as a top-three overall quarterback in three straight games and four out of his last five. In fact, he has posted top-10 numbers in six consecutive weeks! Ultimately, he has re-established himself as an elite fantasy asset and should challenge Josh Allen for top honors in these rankings every week.

Week 9 Duds & Bounce-Back Targets

With the good, of course, comes the bad. Unfortunately, the bad continues to be Justin Herbert. He finished as the overall QB21 last week despite playing in a negative game script at home against the Texans. In fact, Herbert has not finished inside the top 20 at all this season! He travels to Baltimore this week for a friendly matchup against the Ravens. Nevertheless, I am not starting him outside of deep Superflex leagues.

Additionally, Jared Goff had probably the most disappointing fantasy output last week against the Miami Dolphins, posting a meager 6.3 fantasy points. Similarly, Matthew Stafford had a prime matchup against the Commanders but finished as merely the QB20 with 12.2 fantasy points. However, expect both veterans to regroup as they head into Week 10!

Without further ado, here are my Week 9 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings!

Tier 1: League of His Own

1) Josh Allen (@ NYJ)

Josh Allen (QB1): Lesson learned: Josh Allen is not completely matchup-proof. He only totaled 13.9 fantasy points against the Vikings last week. However, Minnesota boasts one of the most staunch defenses in the league, especially at home. Therefore, I will give him a pass and keep him in a tier of his own. This week, Allen faces a Jets defense surrendering the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past three weeks. Expect a massive bounce-back performance!

Tier 2: Elite QB1s

2) Trevor Lawrence (@ TEN) | 3) Brock Purdy (@ DAL) | 4) Drake Maye (@ DET) | 5) Joe Burrow (vs. PIT)

Trevor Lawrence (QB2): You might think this ranking is too high for Lawrence. However, he travels to face a Tennessee defense giving up far and away the most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past three weeks (32.9 PPG). Consequently, it is wheels up for the former Clemson Tiger in Week 10!

Tier 3: High-End QBs with Upside

6) Jared Goff (vs. NE) | 7) Dak Prescott (vs. SF) | 8) Patrick Mahomes (@ ATL) | 9) Jayden Daniels (@ NYG)

Jared Goff (QB6): While last week’s 6.3 fantasy output was extremely disappointing, Goff will be much better this week. He faces a Patriots defense surrendering the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past three weeks. Furthermore, we all know Goff performs a million times better at home in Detroit. Trust the bounce-back!

Tier 4: Talented with Matchup Volatility

10) Bryce Young (@ NO) | 11) Tyler Shough (vs. CAR) | 12) C.J. Stroud (@ CLE) | 13) Jordan Love (vs. MIN)

Bryce Young (QB10): I had Young ranked much higher than consensus last week despite facing a tough Broncos defense. Fortunately, Bryce Young at home is another animal, finishing as the overall QB6! Now, he travels to take on the division rival New Orleans Saints. New Orleans gives up the 14th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. However, I expect Young to trade blows with fellow young gun Tyler Shough in what should turn into a sneaky shootout.

Tier 5: QB2s with Some Upside

14) Matthew Stafford (@ ARI) | 15) Aaron Rodgers (@ CIN) | 16) Malik Willis (@ IND) | 17) Drew Lock (@ LV) | 18) Kirk Cousins (vs. SEA) | 19) Geno Smith (vs. BUF)

Aaron Rodgers (QB15): Rodgers was abysmal over his past two games before the bye week, finishing as the QB21 and QB25. However, those duds came right on the heels of a strong stretch where he finished as the QB8, QB3, QB12, and QB13 from Weeks 3 through 6. I expect the bye week to do him wonders. Furthermore, traveling to Cincinnati will force him to throw 35+ times to keep pace with a red-hot Joe Burrow.

Tier 6: Floor QB2 Options

20) Jacoby Brissett (vs. LAC) | 21) Justin Herbert (@ BAL) | 22) Deshaun Watson (vs. HOU) | 23) Michael Penix Jr. (vs. KC) | 24) J.J. McCarthy (vs. WAS)

Jacoby Brissett (QB20): Brissett gets new life after being benched in a horrific Week 8 game with Dallas. He now joins a Ravens offense that boasts Zay Flowers and Derrick Henry in the backfield. Therefore, he should be given every opportunity to succeed. Additionally, he benefits from a home matchup against a Chargers defense that is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season.

Tier 7: Deep Superflex & Desperation Plays

25) Daniel Jones (vs. MIA) | 26) Cam Ward (vs. JAC) | 27) Carson Wentz (@ GB) | 28) Carson Beck (vs. LAR)
