Week 4 fantasy football decisions will again come down to managers finding value beyond the automatic every-week starters, with quarterback streaming options drawing attention in several favorable matchups.
Week 4 quarterback options
C.J. Stroud and Geno Smith are among the quarterbacks worth considering for fantasy lineups after solid openings to the season. Both have produced respectable results through three games and face opponents viewed as favorable for Week 4.
- Stroud and the Texans are scheduled to face the Cowboys.
- Smith and the Jets will travel to play the Bears.
- Both quarterbacks profile as streaming candidates for managers seeking help at the position.
Mariota offers deeper-league appeal
Marcus Mariota is another option for managers in need of a deeper quarterback play. He scored 20.42 fantasy points against the Seahawks and now moves into a matchup with the Colts in London.
The Colts game is regarded as a less difficult spot than Mariota’s previous outing, giving him potential appeal for lineups affected by injuries, underperforming starters or limited waiver-wire choices.
Focus remains on difficult lineup calls
The weekly start-or-sit approach is aimed at the players on the edge of starting consideration rather than obvious stars who belong in lineups regardless of matchup. The featured start and featured sit selections are intended as the week’s most notable calls, not necessarily the most essential decisions for every fantasy roster.
