According to Connor Hughes of SNY, the New York Giants' offense is expected to look "a lot different" under rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart. Hughes noted that he expects the Giants to now attack all three levels of the defense, something they rarely did with
Russell Wilson under center during the opening weeks. Outside of their offensive explosion in Week 2 against the Cowboys, the Giants struggled to move the ball downfield. During their loss to the Chiefs last weekend, Wilson threw for just 160 yards with two interceptions. During the preseason, Dart looked very comfortable at the professional level, tallying 372 passing yards with three scores. Even though he has a tough matchup against the Chargers this afternoon, he carries high-end QB2 upside.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Skylar Thompson (hamstring) was robbed on Friday night in Dublin, Ireland. Pelissero noted that the quarterback suffered minor injuries but is "ok" and is with the team. Thompson is currently on the injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Steelers Spokesman Burt Lauten said, "We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson on Friday night in Dublin. We will have no further comment at this time as we are working with NFL security to gather more information regarding the incident." The 28-year-old spent the 2024 season with the Miami Dolphins and went 21-for-33 with 187 passing yards and no passing scores or interceptions. He will remain the team's No. 3 QB when activated from IR behind
Aaron Rodgers and
Mason Rudolph.

Minnesota Vikings center Ryan Kelly (head) has exited Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and is being evaluated for a concussion. Kelly has a significant history of head trauma, as he has already suffered four documented concussions during his career, including one earlier this season. If the Vikings' medical personnel establish that Kelly has another concussion, it would be the fifth of his career. The 32-year-old plays every snap when healthy, but he's had trouble staying on the field lately.

Minnesota Vikings right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had initially been listed as questionable after exiting during the first quarter, but around halftime, the team downgraded him to out. The 30-year-old, who played 92.6 percent of the offensive snaps through the first three weeks, suffered the injury while blocking on a field-goal attempt. Justin Skule has taken over at right tackle with O'Neill sidelined.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (knee) is expected to return against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels missed last week's game and will remain sidelined this Sunday, but it sounds like the young signal caller will return to action in Los Angeles following a two-game absence. The 24-year-old was the overall QB5 as a rookie last year and is off to a decent start this season, amassing 433 passing yards, 85 rushing yards, and three touchdowns through two contests. He should be treated as a solid mid-range QB1 option upon his return to action.

Miami Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa has struggled so far this season, playing very conservatively but also turning the ball over at critical times. He and his team will look to turn things around and get their first win on Monday when they host the Jets. Tua has thrown at least one interception in each game this season, with five touchdowns to go with his four interceptions on the year. He threw two touchdowns in each of his last two games, with 315 yards against the Patriots and 146 yards against the Bills. He has failed to exceed 5.0 yards per attempt in two of his three games, and when he has pushed the ball down the field, the results have usually not been good for his team. Even in a very favorable matchup on Monday against the Jets, he is only a fringe starter in dual-quarterback leagues. He's the QB21 in RotoBaller's rankings, so he can be a QB2 in desperate spots, but he'll need to bounce back after struggling in the first three weeks of the season.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback
Jalen Milroe did not factor into his team's 23-20 win over the hosting Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. Milroe snuck into Seattle's thrashing of the Saints in Week 3, picking up three yards on his second tote of the season. It doesn't appear that the Seahawks will force him into the game plan every week and would rather have him continue to develop off the field. The University of Alabama product is an incredible athlete, but more of a raw talent in regard to his ability as a passer. If the rookie were ever to take the field in a starting capacity, he'd immediately draw intrigue due to his prowess as a rusher. For now, fantasy managers in superflex dynasty leagues can stow him away in hopes that the job eventually becomes his. Otherwise, he doesn't figure to have any value in redraft formats, barring injuries to the competition in front of him. Seattle will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Atlanta Falcons have no plans on trading quarterback
Kirk Cousins, at least "for now." There are several factors to consider regarding a potential deal involving the signal-caller. He has a no-trade clause. In addition, his hefty contract is something most teams aren't willing (or able) to take on. After
Michael Penix Jr. played poorly in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers, some believed Cousins would reclaim his spot as the team's starting quarterback. However, that's not the case, with Penix in line to remain under center. Of course, anything could change. With that said, as long as Cousins isn't starting, he's not worth rostering in any format. On the other hand, his fantasy stock could climb significantly if he gets shipped elsewhere and gets a chance to start. Cousins briefly saw some action in Week 3, throwing for 29 yards off 5-for-7 passing.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, New York Giants quarterback
Russell Wilson "is expected to emerge as a trade candidate" ahead of the deadline. With the G-Men winless through the first three games of the season, head coach Brian Daboll made the call to bench Wilson heading into the Week 4 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. In his place,
Jaxson Dart will get the start. Despite the demotion, Wilson vowed to "respond" the right way by serving as a mentor to the rookie. Without question, his best days are behind him. However, the 36-year-old could find himself in a more favorable situation, so fantasy managers in Superflex setups with room on the roster may want to consider stashing him. Wilson started three games this season, throwing for 778 yards, three touchdowns, and three picks while completing a career-low 59.1% of his attempts.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields will make his return after a one-week absence for Monday's road matchup with the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Fields was knocked out of New York's 30-10 loss to the Bills with a concussion and missed the ensuing week while he cleared protocol. The last time we saw the 26-year-old, he completed just 3-of-11 passes for 27 yards, fumbling twice (one lost). It was an outing to forget for Fields, but he'll get a chance to turn it around in Week 4 against a vulnerable Dolphins defense. Miami has been one of the worst teams in the league thus far, yielding the seventh-most yards per game (370.3) and the most points per contest (32.3). Even if the Ohio State alum struggles again as a passer, his work on the ground should keep him in the conversation of a viable fantasy contributor. Fields is RotoBaller's fantasy QB10 for his meeting with Miami.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Jake Browning will look to get the team back on track with a win over the Broncos on Monday night. With
Joe Burrow (toe) out of the equation, Browning has gotten some action in the last two weeks. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old hasn't played well, combining for 381 yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions off 40-for-59 passing. Granted, the offense wasn't operating at its best even with Burrow under center. Still, Browning is hard to trust in Week 4 and beyond, and that won't change anytime soon until the offense can get on the same page. Keep the signal-caller out of all fantasy lineups.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence isn't the best starting option in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. The offense has been just alright to start the year despite facing two weak defenses and one stronger defense. Lawrence has not been good from a fantasy perspective, with his best performance coming in Week 2 with just 17 fantasy points, partly due to throwing two interceptions. The talented pieces are in place around him, but Lawrence still hasn't shown much life with the offensive-minded Liam Coen now the head coach. Until Lawrence proves otherwise, he will continue to be an underwhelming fantasy asset, just as he's been underwhelming for a first overall pick during his career. Fantasy managers should look for other options at quarterback in Week 4.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams is off to a scorching start in his sophomore season. Williams is averaging 23.8 fantasy points per game, ranking as the QB3 behind only
Lamar Jackson and
Josh Allen. The arrival of head coach Ben Johnson has transformed the Bears' offense, and Williams is thriving in the system. Week 4 sets up as another strong spot. The Bears face the Las Vegas Raiders, who allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2024. This year, they've already surrendered a 115+ QBR in back-to-back weeks, most recently getting lit up by
Marcus Mariota and the Commanders for 41 points on offense. With elite efficiency, rushing upside, and a favorable matchup, Williams is locked in as a high-end QB1 for Week 4. Expect his early-season dominance to continue in Las Vegas.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields (concussion) has cleared protocol and will start on Monday Night Football against the Miami Dolphins. Fields exited early in Week 2 and missed Week 3, but he is fully removed for Week 4 and set to return. The matchup could not be better. Miami has allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and Fields has already shown he can thrive against this defense. In his only career meeting with the Dolphins, he exploded for 178 rushing yards and four total touchdowns, finishing with 40.7 fantasy points. With the Jets still searching for their first win, Fields is positioned for a high-upside QB1 performance in Week 4.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) has been removed from the injury report and will return in Week 4 after missing the past two games. Backup
Mac Jones handled starts in his absence, but Purdy looked sharp in his lone appearance this season, completing 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against a tough Seahawks defense in Week 1. Purdy now draws a challenging matchup with the Jaguars, who lead the league in interceptions forced through three weeks. Complicating matters, the 49ers' offensive line remains shaky, and wideouts
Jauan Jennings (ankle) and
Ricky Pearsall (knee) are both battling injuries. Given the circumstances, Purdy profiles as a safe QB2 in Week 4.
