The 2026 NFL season is here!

That means fantasy football managers far and wide will be checking out the first week of matchups as they start down the road to a league championship! To help you get down that path and reach the ultimate goal, here are my fantasy quarterback player rankings for Week 1.

There aren't many surprises at the position, because the opening week is not the time to “get cute.” Instead, start the players you drafted to be your starters. Don't overthink it. We have a lot to learn in the next month-plus of action, so use your highest player investments. And for those who still need help making decisions between players with similar value, I’m here for you!
