2026 QB Tiers REVEALED! Rankings, Projections & Draft Strategy | Fantasy Football Advice

We start with our overall QB tier thoughts (0:00), then hit the latest news and notes (16:20), including the potential impact of spicing up NFL overtime (18:40). After that, we dive into our Tier 1 quarterbacks (21:48) before breaking down Tier 2 and Tier 3 (23:00), including why Heath has Jayden Daniels in his Tier 2 and why that has people surprised.

We discuss Jalen Hurts' outlook and whether Justin Herbert can become an elite fantasy option in Mike McDaniel's offense (31:20), why Brock Purdy and Jared Goff are two of the best values at quarterback (44:28), and the concerns surrounding Caleb Williams and how he stacks up to Jaxson Dart (50:20).

We finish with Heath's favorite high-end QB2 options (56:31), the impact of Kyler Murray's move to the Vikings (1:00:00), Baker Mayfield expectations for 2026 (1:02:10), and a look back at Cam Ward's disastrous rookie season (1:05:00).
