Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix & MORE: Fantasy THIRD-YEAR QB outlook for 2026

Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk take a look ahead to the potential fantasy football production of the top third-year quarterbacks in the NFL for 2026. Find out why the Patriots' Drake Maye is ranked so high and in a top tier close to Josh Allen, but does that make him a better pick than the Bears' Caleb Williams? Also, Jayden Daniels might be primed for a big rebound, but how much risk will come with that big potential reward? While Vinnie and Michelle are meh overall on the Broncos' Bo Nix, they have much bigger concerns about what Michael Penix Jr. can do for the Falcons and J.J. McCarthy's status with the Vikings despite the respective offensive systems and weapons.
