Fantasy Football Quarterback Projections: May 2026

By Cory Bonini Athlon Sports

Quarterback projections for 2026 fantasy football focus on passing volume, touchdown output, rushing production, turnover risk, and overall scoring efficiency. The position remains deep in most formats, but the top tier can still separate when dual-threat production or elite passing volume creates a weekly advantage.

These projections forecast turnovers, sacks taken and 300-yard passing games, in addition to the more common fantasy-relevant statistics.

Projected statistics are different from basic rankings, because managers can plug in their own league's scoring to create a custom experience.
