2026 Fantasy Football half-PPR rankings: Top 150 with auction values suggests waiting on quarterback

As NFL players get ready for the 2026 season, Fantasy football managers have their own preparation to do in order to come out of their drafts with the best team possible. While we encourage you to check out our upcoming tiered positional rankings at SportsLine, here we're going to cover my top 150 for half-PPR leagues.

In half-PPR formats, a half-point is awarded for each reception, which strikes a balance between the previous standard of ignoring the statistic altogether and the new trend of awarding a point for each reception to elevate receivers and tight ends. This more balanced format often encourages more balanced roster building, where it's important to not leave yourself too weak at any one of the skill positions. However, that doesn't necessarily apply to quarterback, where positional depth and an ever-shifting top tier over the past few years result in managers in leagues that only start one QB likely benefitting from waiting at the position.

My full top 150, which also feature auction values based on 12-team leagues, barely gets a second QB into my top five rounds, and I'm likely to ignore the position until the second half of most drafts.

So who gets the top spot in the non-PPR top 150? And how high should you target your quarterback? ... Join SportsLine here to see SportsLine expert R.J. White's Fantasy football rankings!
