Who are the best fantasy QBs for Week 4?
Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes face off against each other, but we'll update their outlook following Monday Night football when Jackson's Ravens face Jared Goff's Detroit Lions.
As for our early top-ranked quarterbacks:
- Josh Allen should march all over the New Orleans Saints.
- Justin Herbert draws a weak New York Giants secondary, as long as Joe Alt and the offensive line castoffs can hold off the G-men's elite pass rush.
- Daniel Jones faces a stiff test in the Los Angeles Rams, who will push Shane Steichen's reclamation project to its limits. Indiana Jones conquered the equally dangerous Denver Broncos, though, and his rushing ability keeps him in this elite tier.
- Week 3 stars Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, and Caleb Williams round out the early top six.

Which QB sleepers should I target in fantasy Week 4?
- Bo Nix mustered 153 passing yards and 33 rushing yards in a tough draw against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the Denver Broncos sophomore will face the Cincinnati Bengals, who've allowed 2 passing TDs per game.
- Drake Maye and Bryce Young both would be usable in fantasy lineups during the Patriots vs. Panthers matchup.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers convinced us Justin Fields was a competent quarterback in Week 1 and still let Drake Maye use his wheels to post a solid fantasy day in Week 2. Superflex/2QB players or seekers of an injury replacement for any dinged slinger could look toward the Minnesota Vikings' Carson Wentz, who bombarded the Bengals last week and gets WR Jordan Addison back from suspension.
