8/5/26 - 2026 Fantasy Football QB Rankings: Josh Allen, Mahomes & Sleepers | No Punt Intended

**Ryan Weiss** (0:01)
Welcome to No Punt Intended, presented by Club Fantasy. And you know, we have been doing a lot of shows this summer.
Every week. We don't take a lot of days off. But I have to say, when we hit this specific episode, it's when I feel like things are finally getting real. We've talked about Sleepers, we've talked about our best draft strategies, we've done actual mock drafts. We are now going to break down rankings. Everything we do from this point forward is to help prepare you for your home league draft. It's days, weeks, maybe a month away. It is time to get ready and we kick this thing off with quarterbacks. Let's get into it.
Welcome to No Punt Intended, presented by Club Fantasy Football. You can see Ryan Weiss in the host seat as Joe Zollo continues to do his real job and take Wednesday nights off. But it is a much more packed house than you're used to for any episode of No Punt Intended, unless you watched last August, because this is the crew. But let me get things started with my trusty co-host, Joshua Hudson. Josh, welcome to the ranking shows.

**Joshua Hudson** (1:28)
Always, love this time of year. It's fantastic. I don't have to hear Joe come up with some dumb bullshit reason why somebody's ranked too low.

**Ryan Weiss** (1:35)
It's fun. Joe should just come back for the tight end show and just make everybody mad because they're way too negative.

**Austin** (1:41)
I think that's what he did last year.

**Ryan Weiss** (1:43)
There you go. Exactly.
Now, as I've mentioned for many, many weeks, it just took this show actually happening to get their rankings up on the website. We do have rankers besides myself. Josh finally finished his rankings this past week. He is up on the site. Joel with some prompting got his rankings up on the site. And Austin, because the show was mere hours away, at least got his quarterback rankings up on the site. You are very familiar with Joel and Austin if you follow Club Fantasy, but I will allow them to introduce themselves. Joel Wirth, welcome to Wednesday Night.

**Joel Wirth** (2:15)
Thanks, man.
Yeah, it's unusual not being the last guy to get the rankings in, but glad to help. Not in my usual digs. I'm on the road this week, so it's insanely hot, and I'm in the wrong time zone, but we're going to struggle through it.

**Joshua Hudson** (2:28)
Hey, I know all about insanely hot. It's going to be 100 degrees on Saturday. It's fantastic.

**Joel Wirth** (2:32)
It's 106 here today, so good times.

**Ryan Weiss** (2:35)
If you don't mind my asking, Joe, where are you?

**Joel Wirth** (2:37)
Oklahoma City.

**Ryan Weiss** (2:38)
Oh, okay. So it's not that hot in New York, I can tell you that. Austin, how hot is it in North Carolina?

**Austin** (2:48)
It's not that hot. It's just very humid. So good times. I'm moving this weekend, so I'll get to tell you exactly how hot it is over the next couple of days. But glad to be here.
And Ryan, come on, if people watch this show, they're familiar with me because we talked to DFS like a month ago. And I know that because the theme song threw me off then and it threw me off again tonight.

**Ryan Weiss** (3:13)
Well, I mentioned that because Joel and Austin are also my co-hosts for the mock draft show. We will have a mock draft this Saturday, though Austin is moving. So he is not going to join that show. We are going to jump into the rankings. But you know what? Jacob got in here early. I am not going to make Jacob wait. We are going to kick this thing off with a question. Oh my goodness. First, Jacob just comes at Austin's haircut. Says, he is the guy if you need a barber.
My son is getting his first haircut tomorrow. And I think what might be a year, he is allowed that thing to grow out. But that is not what we are here for. Jacob wants to rate my team. I don't know if he wants Austin to rate his team right now. It is a 12-man draft, two flex spots. We are starting eight. So he did this in round order. He started the draft off with Amon Ra St. Brown, Derrick Henry, Travis Etienne, Baishal Tutin, Roma Dunze, Tucker Kraft, Parker Washington, Rico Dowdell, Kenny Gainwell, Romeo Dobbs, Matthew Golden, Chris Rodriguez and Jordan Love as his starting quarterback and a 12-man. So just breaking this down in the simplest terms, Love at quarterback, Henry and Etienne at the starting running backs, Amon Ra and a Dunze at wide receiver, Tucker Kraft at tight end and we'll call it Bashall Tutin or Rico Dowdell in the flex. Oh, he's drafting from eight, not that he is starting eight.
