Part 2 of the Best Ball QB Rankings — QBs 6 through 10 for 2026. This is the tier where the season gets won: any of these five can hit 40+ TDs and bring a full stack of pass-catchers with them. Target exposure numbers, stacking partners, and playoff-schedule math for each.

Big headline: Justin Herbert is my single biggest above-market stand of the offseason. 25-30% target exposure, walking into a Mike McDaniel offense with Alt and Slater back healthy and a completely rebuilt interior OL. He's already had a 5,000-yard, 38-TD season with worse weapons — I think the MVP outcome is 30-35% likely.

Inside the episode:

• Why Dak Prescott is a DK preference (300-yard bonuses) but Underdog fade
• The Lamb + Pickens ping-pong stack construction
• Jalen Hurts bounce-back case (Sean Mannion + tush push rushing TDs returning)
• Patrick Mahomes' 42% career boom rate — the highest of any QB in NFL history — makes him a 20% target even coming off ACL
• Why Caleb Williams is the ONE fade of the top 12 — Ben Johnson won't let him cook
• Full playoff-schedule walkthrough on every QB (weather, dome, defensive matchups)
• Late-round stacking darts: Tyquan Thornton, Charlie Kolar, Jayden Blue, Trey Harris

Episode 9 drops next: QBs 11-15.

First rankings episode of the season — my top 5 quarterbacks for Best Ball 2026 and the exposure, stacking, and playoff-schedule framework that goes with each. I'm above market on all five, which is a stand, so I walk through the reasoning tier by tier.

Inside the episode:

• Why Josh Allen at QB1 is worth an 8% exposure target even at the brutal ADP — Joe Brady's promotion, defensive regression, and the new-stadium narrative
• The Lamar bounce-back case: 30%+ career boom rate, Declan Doyle unlocking the offense, and why Lamar + Zay is the highest-advance-rate double-stack of the season
• Joe Burrow as my 15-20% target QB — 50-touchdown outcomes, 2nd-best playoff schedule, and the Bengals quad-stack build
• Jayden Daniels year-3 leap — the new OC, motion, McLaurin targets, and the JAX Week 17 game stack
• Drake Maye as solid-but-not-elite QB5 — how the schedule flip and playoff slate cap his ceiling
• How to make sure you leave every draft with at least one top-12 QB
• Why I'm above market on nearly every QB in the top 12 (Caleb Williams is the exception — covered next episode)

Episode 12 drops next: QBs 6-10.

Taking another shot at $3 million on the DraftKings NFL Best Ball $20M Millionaire — drafting out of the 11 spot and building one of the heaviest stack-driven teams I've done this season. Ashton Jeanty and De'Von Achane anchor the running back room (both above-market stands I walk through in detail), Justin Herbert leads a five-deep Chargers stack with McConkey / Trey Harris / Gadsden / Njoku, a Patrick Mahomes + Xavier Worthy mini-stack rides the Week 17 game against the Chargers, and we close it out with a full Browns stack: Shedeur Sanders, Quinshon Judkins, Cassey Concepcion, and Denzel Boston.

Inside the episode:

• The full Player Compare walk-through on Achane vs. Saquon, Walker, Chase Brown, and Hampton — and why boom rate, EPA per touch, and yards created per carry make him the easy pick
• Why Jeanty as RB12 last year behind a broken Raiders OL is the buy — Kubiak, the new center, and Colt Miller returning
• Tyler Warren as a top-12 TE 40 picks behind Brock Bowers
• The case for a Browns offense scoring 21+ points in real games — and why Shedeur winning QB1 unlocks the whole stack
• Stacking philosophy when your two best QBs face each other in Week 17
• Late-round dart throws: Sean Tucker, Tez Johnson, Chris Brazzell
