28 quarterbacks with at least four games played, 2026 regular season.
Quarterback snap share is close to binary. You are the starter or you are not, which makes this the one position where the column is more useful as a timeline than as a ranking. A starter at 70% missed time or was benched, and the four-week direction tells you which.
Watch for mid-70s and low-80s shares among veterans on rebuilding teams. That pattern is usually a midseason handover to a rookie, and it is the clearest advance warning that a passing game is about to change shape for everyone catching the ball.
Designed-run packages and short-yardage specialists take snaps away without taking away the job. A small dip does not mean a quarterback lost trust; a sustained slide across four weeks usually does.
