Warren Sharp runs through everything that matters heading into preseason week 1: what the Commanders lose with Laremy Tunsil gone, Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen for best quarterback of the decade, the 2026 schedule traps hiding behind last year's late quarterback surges in New Orleans and Jacksonville, the new Highmark Stadium, and what a single sack actually costs a drive.

Raymond Summerlin and Rich Hribar draft a best ball team live from the number two pick, covering 2026 fantasy football ADP, best ball strategy, roster construction and the Stefan Diggs signing.

Get $20 off the fantasy football bundle with promo code BUNDLE20: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/

Stefan Diggs is signing with the Washington Commanders, and the guys open by working through what it means for Terry McLaurin, Jayden Daniels, Chig Okonkwo and the late-round tight end market, plus why Deebo Samuel's move back into a familiar system is more interesting than the efficiency numbers suggest.

Then it is a live draft from the 2 spot. Bijan Robinson comes off the board first, the back half of round one turns into an RB-RB pile-up, and the team ends up with seven running backs, two Cardinals by accident, and a tight end room the guys openly call their weakest position.

What You'll Learn:

• What Stefan Diggs to Washington does to Terry McLaurin, Jayden Daniels and the late-round tight end crowd

• Why the back half of round one has become RB-RB no matter which site you draft on

• Rashee Rice, touchdown regression, and the red zone numbers behind the call

• David Montgomery and the prototypical dead zone running back profile

• The Colston Loveland bet, and what the team would have looked like if Brock Bowers fell one more spot

• The full roster recap, and Malik Nabers' fantasy playoff schedule

Warren Sharp ranks every NFL starting quarterback into tiers for 2026, covering all 32 teams, NFL QB rankings, quarterback tiers, betting futures and fantasy football draft value.

Training camps are open, so Warren Sharp puts every starting quarterback in the NFL on one board and sorts them into five tiers, from "we can win the Super Bowl because of you" down to "we need to replace you."

This is not a career ranking. It is a 2026 ranking: the quarterback, the coaching staff, and the talent around him, judged for this season only. Warren goes team by team from Arizona to Washington with the numbers behind every call.

Some of the placements that will start arguments: Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen land in different tiers, Justin Herbert sits in tier three, Bryce Young is placed below Jacoby Brissett, Sam Darnold does not crack tier two, and Bo Nix does.

What You'll Learn:

• Why "win playoff games because of you" and "win playoff games in spite of you" are two different tiers

• Why Jacoby Brissett is better than the league thinks, above average across the board among 45 qualifying quarterbacks

• The Justin Herbert verdict: elite talent, tier three placement, and what has to change

• Drake Maye vs Jayden Daniels, and how roster building rather than talent separated the same draft class

• The full tier board at the end, including where Kirk Cousins and Shedeur Sanders shake out

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN 

• Why the Chiefs fell from No. 1 to 28th in first-quarter scoring — and how Kenneth Walker's explosiveness (32 runs of 20+ yards vs. 17 by ALL Chiefs RBs since 2022) fixes their slow starts as Patrick Mahomes returns from injury 

• The play-calling tell that made Denver's offense predictable (79% pass from shotgun, 29% under center) and what new play caller Davis Webb changes after an 11-2 record in one-score games 

• How Houston's rebuilt offensive line and David Montgomery unlock Nick Caley's man-blocking scheme — and why C.J. Stroud's red zone numbers, not his overall play, held the Texans back 

• Jaxson Dart's historic rookie rushing (3rd-best EPA since 2000) vs. 35th-ranked passing — and why Giants expectations under the new staff need caution
