Week 4 Fantasy Football Quarterback Outlooks
Jaxson Dart, New York Giants
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart will be the team's starter for the rest of the season, with veteran Russell Wilson serving as the backup, according to Art Stapleton of the North Jersey Bergen Record. It didn't take long for the 0-3 Giants to bench Wilson and go with Dart, whom they traded up for in the first round of April's draft to select. The Ole Miss product will be thrown into the fire in a tough Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 Los Angeles Chargers this weekend.
While we would not recommend the 22-year-old as a DFS option in his first NFL start, Dart's dual-threat abilities at the most important position on the field give him plenty of long-term upside in New York. Receivers Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson should benefit, but there are going to be growing pains along the way.
Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (ankle/calf) was limited on Wednesday due to ankle and calf injuries. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in case he faces a setback later in the week. However, seeing that he was still able to practice suggests he is not in danger of missing their Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans.
After tallying just 112 passing yards in his NFL debut against a tough Denver Broncos defense, Ward has gone on to average 197.0 passing yards over his last two weeks. During this stretch, Ward has thrown two passing scores with only one interception. Facing a tough Houston defense on Sunday that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs makes Ward a low-end QB2 in all formats.
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Although Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (wrist) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, he was listed on this week's injury report with a right-wrist injury, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. It's something worth keeping an eye on, but it sounds as though it won't put the six-time Pro Bowler in danger of missing a Week 4 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
The 30-year-old led the Chiefs to their first win of 2025 in a Week 3 victory over the New York Giants, going 22-for-37 passing for 224 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while carrying the ball five times for only two yards. Mahomes and KC's offense just do not look right through three weeks while being without receivers Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension). He has yet to go over 300 yards or throw more than one touchdown in a game, although Baltimore's struggling defense could be a get-right spot for Mahomes and Company this weekend.
Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is a solid streaming option in Week 4 when the team visits the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona's defense has been solid this season, but they are not a scary opponent. Darnold is starting to look like the player we saw in Minnesota in 2024 as he continues to become more comfortable in this new offense. He is poised in the pocket, and the game appears to be slowing down for him. Darnold is also getting a lot of help from a group of weapons that has certainly outperformed expectations thus far this season.
The Cardinals have not allowed opposing quarterbacks to light up the fantasy scoreboard, but they have not played anyone at the same caliber as Darnold. Anyone with quarterback injuries should be looking to see if Darnold is on the waiver wire. He is unlikely to be a season-long option, but he should be a solid start in Week 4. His efficiency has remained solid, and his turnovers have been low.
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has yet to register a QB1-level finish through the first three weeks of the season, and it doesn't get much easier heading into a short week before the Thursday night game. To make matters worse, Murray will be without his starting running back in James Conner (ankle), Zay Jones (concussion), and four different offensive linemen (two starters) are considered questionable for this matchup.
The Cardinals have also lost their last five games against the Seattle Seahawks over the past couple of seasons, and they only scored a combined 24 points in the two outings last year. With that being said, Murray still has capable playmakers when they're not dropping passes, so he still has a high-level QB2 value.
Brock Purdy; Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) and Mac Jones (knee) were both limited participants in practice on Wednesday, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the two signal-callers would share the first-team practice reps on Wednesday, with third-stringer Adrian Martinez also getting some first-team work. Purdy has missed the last two games with turf toe and an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, while Jones aggravated a PCL sprain in his left knee in the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Jones has gone 53-for-80 for 563 yards, four touchdowns, and one pick in two starts in place of Purdy, without the luxury of having tight end George Kittle (hamstring). It's unknown who will start under center for San Fran in Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but for what it's worth, Purdy appeared close to a return last week.
