Rest-of-Season Fantasy Football Rankings: Week 4 Updates for Top 200 (2025)

September 27, 2025

Nick Mariano's rest-of-season fantasy football rankings for Week 4 in half-PPR leagues. Set winning lineups with our updated Week 4 fantasy football ranks for 2025.

Three weeks of football have brought all sorts of studs, duds, and hits, so let's get down to business with an updated rest-of-season rankings sheet! It's easy to get complacent and lose sight of future performance windows by late September, but we're keeping perspective here. That's the aim with our Week 4 fantasy football half-PPR rankings for the rest of 2025 as of September 24.

Be sure to inspect where key players have moved, such as Trey Benson, Jordan Mason, Quinshon Judkins, Luther Burden III, and more. There's still one week left before the byes come into play. Until then, load the bench with upside and swing for the fences, because finishing fourth gets you nowhere.

Week 4 Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings

Rest of Season Rankings Outlooks

Quinshon Judkins, RB - CLE (No. 70)

After missing all of training camp and the preseason after being arrested for domestic assault charges, Judkins finally inked his professional contract with the Browns shortly before Week 1. While he was unable to play in the season opener, he quickly took over the backfield in Week 2. Facing the Ravens, the former Ohio State standout took 10 carries for 61 yards and brought in all three of his targets.

Then in Week 3, Judkins was deployed as the clear No. 1 option, as he was given 18 rushing attempts and tallied 94 yards and a score. In this contest, the No. 2 RB, Jerome Ford, was given a carry. Even though the Browns do not appear to have a potent offense, Judkins could see nearly 20 touches per game, which puts him in weekly RB2 territory.

Rashee Rice, WR - KC (No. 36)

Rashee Rice is currently under suspension and cannot return to action until Week 7. However, with his return only a handful of weeks away, the buy-low window for the top wideout in Kansas City is closing quickly. Through the first three games of the season, the Chiefs have struggled to move the ball downfield.

Their No. 2 WR, Xavier Worthy, suffered a torn labrum and will be able to return in Week 4; his upside and workload will be significantly hindered. As a result, when Rice returns in Week 7, fantasy managers should expect him to immediately take on a large workload and carry high-end WR2 upside.

Before suffering a season-ending LCL tear in Week 4 of the 2024 season, Rice was on track to enjoy a WR1 campaign. He should reclaim a similar role in the passing offense.

Brian Thomas Jr., WR - JAC (No. 29)

Brian Thomas Jr. has been one of the most disappointing fantasy assets this season. After enjoying an outstanding rookie season, Thomas was selected at the end of the first round in most leagues during draft season. However, through three games, Thomas has caught only seven of his 25 targets for 115 yards. On the ground, he has added nine yards and a score.

While his output is very underwhelming, seeing the Jaguars continue to provide him ample targets should put him in a prime position to get back on track. Thomas holds lower value for the time being, given his slow start, but he still carries the upside to jump back into high-end WR1 status.

Ja'Marr Chase, WR - CIN (No. 18)

The consensus 1.01 now sits at No. 18 on the ROS rankings. Unfortunately for Chase, he lost his QB, Joe Burrow, to a turf toe injury that will keep him sidelined through December. While there is an outside chance Burrow returns for the final weeks of the regular season, fantasy managers should expect Jake Browning to be his QB for the remainder of the season.

His first game with Browning in 2025 did not go as planned, as Chase caught five of his targets for 50 yards. While the offense stumbled, Chase remained the focal point, which keeps him in WR2 status for the remainder of the season. Chase will not carry the immense ceiling he does with Burrow, but his high volume should keep him in WR2 territory, despite playing with a backup QB.
