# Nathan Jahnke: 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. **Claimed:** Sep 6, 2026 **Pundit:** Nathan Jahnke — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/nathan-jahnke **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-quarterback-rankings-2026-2/ 2 checkable claims — 1 fantasy ranking and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > 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. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Josh Allen to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - “Tier 1 ...
