The "NFL Top 100 Players of 2026", voted on by the players themselves, just wrapped up on NFL+.
Three different Buffalo Bills made this year's list, with running back James Cook earning the No. 20 spot and left tackle Dion Dawkins checking in at No. 57.
No. 2 — QB Josh Allen
Josh Allen's success in 2025 nets him the highest NFL's Top 100 Players finish in his career, moving up one spot from his third place spot last season, landing him at No. 2.
This marks the seventh year in a row that Allen has cracked the top 100, along with his fourth time in the top 10. Finishing third place in MVP voting in 2025, the quarterback continued to showcase why he's one of the premier players in the sport.
Allen's final season before the age of 30 was one of the best of his time in Buffalo to this point, setting a career-high in both completion percentage (69.3%) and becoming the youngest player in NFL history to reach 300 total touchdowns.
Continuing to sharpen the skills with his arm, Allen was a staple of accuracy in 2026. The gunslinger posted his best bad throw percentage (13% down from 18.7% in 2024) along with the highest on target throw percentage (79.9) of his career.
On the year, Allen threw for 3,668 yards through the air, picking up 25 touchdowns in the process. Leading the Bills offense, Allen paved the way to his team finishing the year top five in both yards and points.
With his legs, Allen rivaled some of the best years in recent memory, putting up 579 yards rushing on 112 attempts. That total was the most among quarterbacks in 2026, also putting up 14 touchdowns, good for third most in the league regardless of position.
Allen set the tone for what became another big year in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Getting off to a hot start, he racked up 394 passing yards and four total touchdowns in a comeback, 41-40 victory.
