2025 Fantasy Football: QB Rankings Shifting as Key Players Face Tough Week 4 Matchups
Fantasy football managers are navigating a volatile quarterback landscape heading into Week 4 of the 2025 season, with established starters faltering and potential streaming options emerging. Several high-profile quarterbacks are facing challenging matchups and dealing with injuries to key offensive weapons, forcing owners to re-evaluate their lineups.
Baker Mayfield,currently ranked as the QB8 through three weeks,finds himself in a precarious position. The loss of Mike Evans to a hamstring injury coupled with a arduous road game against the philadelphia Eagles - a defense allowing a 57.7 completion percentage and just 5.7 yards per pass – suggests a potential down week for the veteran. Simultaneously occurring,Kyler Murray has lost the benefit of the doubt in a short-week matchup against a strong Seattle defense,and trevor Lawrence,despite a difficult early schedule,needs to show advancement against a 49ers team missing Nick Bosa.
Rookie Bo Nix is under pressure to deliver against the Cincinnati Bengals after struggling in his first three appearances,failing to impress in key metrics like fantasy points per game,PFF grade,and QB rating. However, Nix has demonstrated a rushing upside, reaching eight rushes in two of his three games, offering a potential fantasy floor.
Carson wentz, who outperformed J.J. McCarthy in Week 3, faces a tougher test against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Wentz could become a viable streaming option, his Week 4 matchup makes him less appealing.
