Highest EPA/Play so far this season Brock Purdy .550 Lamar Jackson .380 Dak Prescott .27 Via @PFF on X

What happened: PFF slots quarterbacks by EPA per play for the young 2026 season. Lamar Jackson is second at .380, with Dak Prescott, Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence tied at .270.

Why it matters: The separation matches other early efficiency markers, including Purdy pacing dropback EPA in prior coverage. SumerSports total EPA before Sunday night showed the same top two, with Purdy at 60.4 and Jackson at 37.0.

By the numbers: EPA/play: Purdy .550, Jackson .380, Prescott .270, Allen .270, Lawrence .270. Total EPA before SNF per SumerSports: Purdy 60.4, Jackson 37.0, Prescott 34.9, Lawrence 31.3.

What to watch: Watch whether the order holds as Week 4 volume evens out.
