Deep 2026 QB Class Shrinks Superflex Edge Beyond Top 16 as 9 Passers Cleared 300 Points

Summary
Nine quarterbacks topped 300 fantasy points in 2025, making the 2026 superflex pool unusually deep and reducing the positional edge even elite options can create.
Josh Allen still sets the standard after 374.5 points and 14 rushing touchdowns last year, but the gap has narrowed as more passers deliver startable weekly ceilings.
ADP still pushes reliable quarterbacks up the board—Allen goes third overall in many superflex drafts—and most dependable starters are gone within four rounds.
The sharpest draft cliff comes at QB16 to QB17, with Matthew Stafford and Jordan Love separated by 10 ADP slots, marking the line between trusted starters and riskier upside bets.
That setup favors builds with one early "pillar" quarterback and a second swing later, even if it leaves thinner wide receiver and running back depth.
