The Shot Caller's Report - Wk 4 Quarterbacks

QBs | RBs | WRs

1) Bryce Young vs. Detroit

Bryce Young

The Detroit Lions pass defense has been the worst in the league against opposing QBs allowing 35.3 fantasy points and 979 passing yards (326.3 ypg). Their secondary is injured and inept. Meanwhile, Bryce Young and the Panthers passing offense has been one of the most improved in the league. Young's production is up nine points-per-game from 15.4 to 24.4 this season. Pay attention to an injury to wideout Jalen Coker (quad) and as long as he and Tetairoa McMillan are good to go, then Young should have a huge game.

2) Daniel Jones @ Washington (London)

Daniel Jones is off to a slow start, when compared to last season, but a date with the Commanders defense should be the elixir needed to produce a healthy fantasy total. The Commanders are allowing opposing QBs 31.6 FPts/G, second-worst in the league and a league-high 11 touchdown passes. The loss of Alec Pierce in Week 3 was ably made up by Josh Downs taking over as the No.1 wideout and the addition workload to veteran Keenan Allen (6-63-1) and tight end Tyler Warren (9-55-0). Jones should be a top-10 fantasy quarterback in Week 4. This game is being played in London, England Sunday morning.

3) C.J. Stroud vs. Dallas

Stroud is off to a decent beginning in 2026, averaging 19 FPts/G even without No.1 wideout Nico Collins sidelined (hamstring). Head Coach DeMeco Ryans said he's "hopeful" to have Collins back in Week 4. If back, Collins, Xavier Hutchinson and tight end Dalton Schultz are talented enough to take advantage of a Dallas pass defense which has yielded 25.6 FPts/G to opposing QBs (third-worst).

1) Justin Herbert @ Seattle

The defending champions may have allowed 33 points to the Commanders last weekend, but don't be fooled into thinking the defense is struggling. Seattle has allowed a league-low 456 passing yards over three games (152 ypg) and 16.4 QB fantasy points-per-game. Meanwhile, everybody's "favorite" quarterback is averaging just 16.1 FPts/G which makes him the 30th-ranked quarterback. The Chargers have yet to score more than 16 points in a game this season. Look elsewhere for a starting quarterback.

2) Kirk Cousins vs. Kansas City

Yes, Cousins and the Raiders are off to a 3-0 start, but the road gets tougher starting in Week 4. Cousins has thrown three touchdown passes in each of the first three games, but the Chiefs defense hasn't allowed a three-touchdown quarterback performance in 19 games and allowed zero touchdown passes from Raiders QBs in two games last season. Additionally, the Chiefs have allowed tight ends just one catch for three measly yards in three games this season. I'm fading Cousins in Week 4.

3) Case Keenum vs. New York Jets

Keenum had an amazing Monday night against Philadelphia (24-of-34 for 247 yards and 2 TDs), but now he comes off a short work week to face a Jets defense which has only allowed quarterbacks 16.8 FPts/G and the third-fewest passing yards (184.6 ypg). The emotion of his first start in years will have worn off and now it’s just football again.
