Week 1 QB fantasy rankings 2026, from market data
QB for Week 1, ranked by market-based projected fantasy points. A number, not an opinion.
Updated Sep 15, 2026 at 5:52 AM ET
Josh Allen leads Week 1 at QB with 23.8 projected points from the player markets, Caleb Williams next at 20.9. 14 QBs projected from 16 market sources, refreshed through the day.
This is not a projection we made. Every number is the fantasy points implied by the player markets posted for Week 1: yards, catches, touchdowns, with the margin removed and scored in PPR.
A player with no line is not on this page, and a player with only a touchdown price is listed at the bottom, unranked. The season board sits on the QB rankings page; this one is the week.
