Nathan Jahnke· Sep 6, 2026
PFF's redraft fantasy quarterback tiers place Josh Allen alone in Tier 1 as the clear QB1, followed by a Tier 2 of Drake Maye, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels.
“Buffalo's addition of DJ Moore should push his passing volume back up after a down year in 2025, giving him a realistic path to an even bigger season and making him the top fantasy quarterback option by a clear margin in redraft.”
