4. NFC East (Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Jayden Daniels, Jaxson Dart)

Coming in right in the middle is the NFC East. What is neat about this division is that all four teams truly do have a chance to win it this year, but at the same time, all four QBs do have some concerns attached to them.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is a limited passer with above-average running ability, but not having AJ Brown in the mix anymore is a huge factor that could force Hurts to attempt to carry more of a load in the passing game, but he's simply never been a threatening passer, so his production could fall a bit in 2026.

Dak Prescott is a very good, prolific QB who can consistently win from the pocket, but his overall lack of playoff success is something that has followed him for much of his career, and it's something that he does get hammered for quite a bit. Prescott, though, is the best pure passer in the division.

Jayden Daniels played in just seven games in 2025 after helping lead the Washington Commanders to get within one game of the Super Bowl. That magical 2024 season did give us a glimpse into just how good Daniels can be, but the injury concern is 100 percent something that does wash away part of that rookie campaign.

Jaxson Dart is an interesting one, as he really did play well as a rookie despite how many of us perceived the 2025 season to be for the New York Giants. Dart really does need to learn how to slide and better protect himself, and if he can figure that out, his dual-threat profile would make him a frisky option and a potential breakout star for the Giants.

Daniels staying on the field and Dart breakout out would really make the NFC East a tough division to predict in 2026.
