The Madden 26 QB Ratings are here, with Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson leading the charge. Both QBs will be part of the Madden 99 Club during the game’s launch, making them the very best to use in the game. But who are the other QBs on this list? Without further ado, let’s dive right in.

Overall, the top 10 best Madden 26 QB Ratings at launch include:

Allen and Jackson were easily the two best QBs last year. But Allen managed to beat Jackson for the MVP spot, and he also beat him in the Divisional Round of the playoffs last year. Overall, Buffalo’s elite signal-caller scored 40 total touchdowns last season, while only turning the ball over eight times. The dual-threat QB is set to have another stellar season.
Lamar Jackson – Madden 26 QB Rating
The two-time NFL MVP remains probably the best QB to use in Madden. At 28 years old, Jackson is still in his prime, and an absolute nightmare for both passing and rushing defenses. While Jackson isn’t technically ranked #1 on this board, he’s still tied with Allen, and is still a member of the 99 Club. He is a must-have for Franchise Players who love to use the Fantasy Draft option.
Joe Burrrow
Burrow is the only QB on this list not to make the playoffs last year. But he was arguably the best Quarterback all year. In total, he scored 43 passing touchdowns, and was less than 100 yards shy of reaching the 5,000 yard mark. The Bengals will hope to make the playoffs this year under the guidance of Burrow and teammates Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Patrick Mahomes
The former 99 Club member dropped down 4 total OVR points in Madden 26. Nevertheless, he remains one of the best players to use in the game. Statistically, things haven’t been as great for Mahomes as they have been these last two years. But he’s also been to three-straight Super Bowls, winning two in the process. Therefore, he remains one of the best QBs in the game.
Something to note: The top 4 QBs mentioned above are the only QBs with a 90+ OVR in Madden 26.
Matthew Stafford
The 37-year-old Stafford is still a top 10 QB in today’s NFL. Sure, his 20 passing touchdowns last season aren’t anything to gawk at. But he did help his Rams team comeback from a 1-4 record to finish the season 10-7. Furthermore, he was the only QB to NOT throw an interception against the Eagles in last...
