    2026 QB Tiers: Every NFL Starting Quarterback, Ranked

    Warren Sharp ranks every NFL starting quarterback into tiers for 2026, covering all 32 teams, NFL QB rankings, quarterback tiers, betting futures and fantasy football draft value. Get the 2026 Football Preview Book, 619 full color pages on all 32 teams. Use code SHARPQB to save $10 on the PDF: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/warren-sharp-book-nfl-football-preview/ Training camps are open, so Warren Sharp puts every starting quarterback in the NFL on one board and sorts them into five tiers, from "we can win the Super Bowl because of you" down to "we need to replace you." This is not a career ranking. It is a 2026 ranking: the quarterback, the coaching staff, and the talent around him, judged for this season only. Warren goes team by team from Arizona to Washington with the numbers behind every call. Some of the placements that will start arguments: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen land in different tiers, Justin Herbert sits in tier three, Bryce Young is placed below Jacoby Brissett, Sam Darnold does not crack tier two, and Bo Nix does. What You'll Learn: • Why "win playoff games because of you" and "win playoff games in spite of you" are two different tiers • Why Jacoby Brissett is better than the league thinks, above average across the board among 45 qualifying quarterbacks • The Justin Herbert verdict: elite talent, tier three placement, and what has to change • Drake Maye vs Jayden Daniels, and how roster building rather than talent separated the same draft class • The full tier board at the end, including where Kirk Cousins and Shedeur Sanders shake out Chapters: 0:00 The five QB tiers, explained 0:26 The 2026 Football Preview Book 1:19 How the tiers work 2:33 Jacoby Brissett 3:16 Tua Tagovailoa & Michael Penix Jr. 4:15 Lamar Jackson 6:28 Josh Allen 7:32 Bryce Young 10:09 Caleb Williams 11:36 Joe Burrow 12:35 Shedeur Sanders / Deshaun Watson 13:47 Dak Prescott 14:58 Bo Nix 16:29 Jared Goff 17:39 Jordan Love 18:27 C.J.
