Fox Sports projects a volatile 2026 season for NFL quarterbacks
Henry McKenna’s predictive “QB Stock Market” ranks all 32 starters by expected end-of-season performance and flags possible changes before the 2027 draft.
Fox Sports writer Henry McKenna has published a predictive ranking of all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks for the 2026 season, assessing where he expects each player to finish rather than reviewing past performance.
McKenna’s projections point to a wide gap between the league’s strongest and weakest quarterback situations. He considers supporting casts, player development, injuries and coaching among the factors likely to shape the season.
The assessment covers quarterback situations including Cleveland, Atlanta, Las Vegas, the New York Jets, Miami, Carolina, Houston, New Orleans and Tennessee. McKenna’s commentary presents those evaluations as forecasts, rather than confirmed outcomes.
The article also suggests several teams could move on from their quarterbacks ahead of the highly regarded 2027 draft class. Those potential changes remain speculative, and the source material does not establish that all projected starters had been formally confirmed by their teams.
Fox Sports describes the ranking as a Week 1 “QB Stock Market”, with the full list intended to project each starter’s performance across the 2026 season.
