Week 4 Quarterback Rankings Outlooks

Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday. Purdy has missed the past two games with a turf toe injury, forcing the team to lean on backup Mac Jones. Purdy managed limited work late last week, but the 49ers ultimately held him out to give him extra recovery time.

With "Mr. Irrelevant" trending toward a Week 4 return against the Jacksonville Jaguars, his presence would be a significant boost for the entire offense, especially second-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. While the Jaguars' defense has looked strong early in 2025, this will be the toughest offense they've faced to date. If active, Purdy should be viewed as a QB2 in Week 4.

Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has turned in two straight solid fantasy performances. Darnold threw for an efficient 218 yards and two touchdowns in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks did not need Darnold to do much in a game in which running back Kenneth Walker III rushed for two touchdowns and the defense dominated. However, the performance was still enough for Darnold to deliver 16.7 fantasy points in four-point passing touchdown formats.

Now that Darnold looks fully comfortable in Seattle's offense, he has a chance to deliver great fantasy performances in the right matchups. The Seahawks are looking like a team that may be able to put up points in a hurry this year. Darnold already proved that he could be a solid fantasy quarterback in 2024. If you are battling quarterback injuries or poor play, keep Darnold on your radar moving forward.

Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) remains day-to-day with a sprained knee, and his next update on the signal-caller will come on Wednesday, according to JP Finlay of NBC Sports. With Daniels' lateral movement restricted after getting hurt in the Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers, he did not play in the Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Although the 24-year-old's injury isn't considered serious, there's a chance he'll miss a second straight contest in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Commanders aren't going to take any chances with their second-year QB. Veteran Marcus Mariota looked good in an easy win over the Raiders and could have a second straight solid performance this weekend if Daniels remains out against a Falcons defense that just gave up over 30 points to the Carolina Panthers.

Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones had another efficient and turnover-free performance in Sunday's 41-20 blowout win over the hosting Tennessee Titans in Week 4, throwing for 228 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions on 18-for-25 passing. Don't look now, but through the first three weeks in 2025, Jones is the QB3 in fantasy with 816 passing yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He has added 55 rushing yards and three scores on 17 carries. Only Josh Allen and Caleb Williams have had more fantasy points.

The Colts' strong ground game, led by running back Jonathan Taylor, has certainly helped Jones' cause. Jones probably won't finish as a top-five fantasy QB when it's all said and done, but he's at least a strong QB2 option and occasional streamer in the right matchups. Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams won't be an ideal matchup to use him.

Russell Wilson, New York Giants

When asked by reporters about a potential quarterback change after the New York Giants' 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 3 to drop them to 0-3, head coach Brian Daboll said, "We're evaluating everything." Wilson threw for 400-plus yards in a shootout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, but he came crashing back down to Earth against a good KC defense, throwing for 160 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 22-9 loss.

Rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart has come in for a couple of plays the last two weeks, but he has yet to attempt a pass. It's unclear if the G-Men are serious about benching Wilson and starting Dart in Week 4 against a tough Los Angeles Chargers defense, but it's clear that Dart's starting debut is coming sooner than later. Dart should be scooped up now if he's available in two-QB superflex leagues.

Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said the team is not worried about quarterback Bo Nix's slow start to the season or him missing some deep passes in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR. "The conversations relative to the 'Q' would not be about the deep balls... A lots been made about the two long balls. I'll be honest with you, driving in this morning, that would be 50th on my to-do list item," Payton said.

After an impressive rookie year, Nix has been quiet through three weeks in 2025, going 61-for-95 passing for 535 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. The good news is he was turnover-free for the first time in Week 3 and also added a season-high 33 rushing yards on eight attempts. Fantasy managers have to remember he's still a work in progress in his second year. A Week 4 date against Cincy's defense could get him right.
