As the 2026 UFL season completes week two, 12 quarterbacks took to the field this past week with Austin Reed clearly becoming the front runner of the 2026 class. While rankings 2-10 remain fluid the 2026 UFL class has seen its first shake up via injury with Houston Gamblers QB Hunter Dekkers set to miss several games, with the team signing Arena Football All-Pro Sam Castronova from the Albany Firebirds.
Below are the week three rankings:
12. Jalen Morton Columbus Aviators
0/1 0yds 0 TD 1 INT 1 rush -3 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: N/A
Morton took the final two offensive snaps of the Columbus Aviators loss, and didn’t do anything to solidify his role in the limited role. Morton may have an opportunity to play a bit depending on McClendon’s injury, however will be looking to prove himself as a QB2 for the future.
11. Dorian Thompson-Robinson Orlando Storm
2/3 19yds 0 TD 0 INT 1 rush 6 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: N/A
UFL fans got to see DTR in action in a limited role this week, and the former 5th round pick was actually quite efficient. DTR continued to keep the Storm offense in rhythm, before starter Jack Plummer came back in to find KJ Hamler for a TD. While his services may not be needed right now the 2-0 Storm have plenty to be excited about if they do have to go to QB2.
10. Jason Bean Louisville Kings
4/15 49yds 0 TD 0INT 2 rush 2yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #3
Bean may be the beginning of a cautionary tale that often is too true for fringe NFL QBs in spring football. Victim to a two-QB system initiated by Head Coach Chris Redman, Bean could not get comfortable especially with the lack of run-game, that totaled 27 yards on the ground collectively. I’m still high on Bean but going back and forth with the talented signal caller will not bode the results that the Kings want.
9. Hunter Dekkers Houston Gamblers
7/12 48yds 0 TD 0 INT 2 rush 14 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #7
While it took a bit for Dekkers to get rolling, a shoulder injury has seemingly derailed his season after showing a decent amount of promise. Dekkers looked comfortable in several series in week two of action, which is extremely unfortunate to see a promising young player with high upside on the sideline for a while.
8. Chandler Rogers Louisville Kings
13/20 151yds 0 TD 1 INT 1 rush 12yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: N/A
Like DTR, UFL fans got to see their first dose of Chandler Rogers and were greeted with a bag of mixed results. Rogers made some plays however, at times struggled to put any power on his throws while also making questionable decisions. At 0-2, and plenty of talent the Kings head into week 3 once again taking on the Orlando Storm. For what it’s worth, Rogers finished the day as the Kings leading rusher.
7. Jalan McClendon Columbus Aviators
21/37 212yds 0 TD 0 INT 8 rush 55 yds 1 TD
Week Two Ranking: #6
We are now almost 70 pass attempts into the 2026 Jalan McClendon experience and I think I’ve seen enough. McClendon at this point is a distant memory from his spark that made spring football fans light up in 2023 with the Vegas Vipers. McClendon at this point lacks situational awareness, the ability to secure the football, and consistently read his progressions. Barring injury, McClendon should be the Aviators QB1 in week 3, however Columbus could look for options like Luis Perez or Andrew Peasley.
6. Brandon Silvers St. Louis Battlehawks
22/39 186yds 1 TD 2 INT 3 rush 16yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #4
The Battlehawks abandoned the run the majority of the game and with becoming one-dimensional, poor offensive line play, along with Wide Receivers consistently dropping passes, Silvers is consistently fighting an up-hill battle to get the offense going. The Battlehawks had a bit of success finding Hakeem Butler, but the supporting cast isn’t doing the team many favors.
5. Matt Corral Birmingham Stallions
21/27 226yds 2 TD 2 INT 1 rush 8 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #2
After three years in the UFL, the Stallions have finally lost a game with Matt Corral as their starter. Despite stretches of looking elite, in Siskey’s system Corral made plenty of head scratching plays that showed more regression than promise. While there is no question Corral is the “guy” for the foreseeable future, it’s extremely unnerving to see the Stallions “throw” the game away in week two.
4. Jordan Ta’amu D.C. Defenders
8/11 99yds 1 TD 1 INT 7 rush 20 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #8
Outside of his interception Ta’amu played a pretty clean game that was buoyed by their rushing attack amassing over 200 yards. Ta’amu historically has been a slow starter over the past several years, and with the Defenders seemingly getting back on track could be a riser once again at the top of the league.
3. Nolan Henderson Houston Gamblers
15/23 186yds 0 TD 0 INT 3 rush 23 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #9
Just when you thought he was out, Henderson has found his way back in the fold, with solid play in high leverage situations to help the Gamblers irk out a win against the Stallions. Henderson looked much more comfortable (as did Dekkers), with an offensive scheme that allowed him to utilize his legs and maneuver in the pocket. With Dekkers sidelined for the foreseeable future, Henderson will have the opportunity to see if he can maintain his success or if it was just a flash in the pan.
2. Jack Plummer Orlando Storm
18/23 182yds 2 TD 1 INT 4 rush 4 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #5
Plummer could have pushed for the top spot this week if it wasn’t for an ill-advised interception in the red-zone. Regardless, Plummer made a lot of efficient plays, moved well in the pocket while also finding his play-makers. Right now, Plummer is in serious conversation for being a 2,000 yard passer and is doing a decent job of raising his interest at the NFL level.
1. Austin Reed Dallas Renegades
22/36 240yds 4 TD 1 INT 4 rush 8 yds 0 TD
Week Two Ranking: #1
Despite an interception, Reed remains in a class above the rest of the competition. His ability to push the ball downfield to Tyler Vaughns, along with his complementary pieces of Greg Ward and Drake Stoops have this offense firing on all cylinders. While it's too early to tell, Reed has himself in-line to an NFL opportunity, an MVP, and a championship couple with the birth of his twins.
