Week 5 QB fantasy rankings 2026, from market data
QB for Week 5, ranked by market-based projected fantasy points. A number, not an opinion.
Updated Oct 7, 2026 at 9:24 PM ET
Josh Allen leads Week 5 at QB with 22.8 market-based projected points, Dak Prescott next at 21.8. 30 QBs projected from 18 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 5: 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.

Matchup: where the opponent ranks in fantasy points allowed per game to that position, 1 being the most. While the 2026 sample is short, it is blended with 2025.
TD line only, not ranked: the market has a touchdown price on these players but not the yardage market their position scores on. A touchdown price alone is not a projection, so no points figure is printed and they sit below the ranked board.
