2026 Dynasty Superflex Rookie Rankings: The Year of the QB (Updated Jan. 19)

2026 Rookie Picks Won’t Save You In Superflex

After only one QB was selected in the top 20 of the 2025 NFL Draft, there was hope that 2026 would be a return to the norm.

It won’t be as bad as 2025, but 2026 suffers from similar problems: The QB class simply lacks franchise-changing talent.

The potential top options certainly aren’t run first QBs like Jayden Daniels or Lamar Jackson, which doesn’t help.

Plus, the other positions lack depth this year.

Our 1-QB 2026 Dynasty Rookie Rankings have similar uncertainty.

Let's examine the overall Superflex rookie rankings…

Fernando Mendoza: Elite Ball Placement

Fernando Mendoza has been compared to Joe Burrow with his ball placement.

Leading #1 Indiana to the Big Ten Championship and the National Championship game has put him on the map. He also brings an element of rushing that could help bolster his immediate fantasy output.

Mendoza should be drafted near the top of the class and could contend for the 1.01 pick in rookie drafts.

Projection Over Production at QB

The lack of first round QB options should concern teams that need one.

Alabama's Ty Simpson has had ups and downs with only 15 college starts. First round QBs with 15 or less starts in the last 10 years:

• Anthony Richardson
• Mitchell Trubisky
• Dwayne Haskins

That’s a bad list to be on. Simpson’s draft stock will be debated heavily heading into the draft. He could range from a top-10 pick to falling into Round 2.

Ole Miss’ Trinidad Chambliss is intriguing. He was denied a waiver for an additional year of college, but will likely fight that. He may end up in the draft and not participate in the process with hopes of getting that reversed.

Late Round QB Upside

The later round QBs of the 2026 draft do have upside if they find their way to playing time.

LSU's Garrett Nussmeier boasts incredible highlight-reel off-platform throws. He struggled with INTs, throwing 12, but his ball placement continues to improve.

Miami's Carson Beck transferred from Georgia after late-season injuries, carrying the Hurricanes to the National Championship game. He throws plenty of interceptions, but his leadership and intangibles could get him drafted in Day 2.

Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson has good mechanics and could be a Day 3 pick with upside.

There are also some run first QBs who could be intriguing fantasy stashes like Arkansas’ Taylen Green and Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia.

Ultimately, this QB class could help infuse more QB talent into the NFL if they hit.
