Fantasy QB Week 4: Mahomes and Lawrence Lead Starts as Maye and Herbert Sit

For Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, fantasy analysts recommend starting Trevor Lawrence and Patrick Mahomes due to favorable matchups, while advising against Drake Maye and Justin Herbert. Lawrence faces the Bengals in a high-scoring game, and Mahomes plays the Raiders in a critical AFC West battle. Maye is benched due to poor performance and a weak Patriots offense, while Herbert struggles against the elite Seahawks defense. Other notable starts include Tyler Shough and Jared Goff, while Deshaun Watson and Bo Nix are sits despite recent strong performances.

Injury Crisis: Six NFL Teams Face Reset Expectations After QB Losses

This could force both teams into the top five of the 2027 draft, creating a league-wide ripple effect. Other teams, like the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears, have more manageable situations, with backups performing well or starters expected to return soon.

Eagles defend four-QB roster as smart insurance and development bet

Eagles GM Howie Roseman defended keeping four quarterbacks on the active roster, saying the position’s high value justifies insurance and long-term development after last year’s McCord experience. He highlighted IPP players Uar Bernard and Joshua Weru as worth preserving despite waiver risks, praised tight end E.J. Jenkins’ development, expressed respect for Zach Ertz, and noted no August trades while remaining confident in the receiver group and the rebuilt interior line as the team ramps up for the first four weeks with further evaluation possible before the trade deadline.

Dolphins push youth-first rebuild with QB plan and roster reshuffle

Miami Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan outlined a youth-forward rebuild after eight cuts and seven waiver claims, reiterating a draft-and-develop approach and salary-cap discipline. He described Kyle McCord and Brady Cook as promising development quarterbacks to back Malik Willis, and explained why Quinn Ewers was moved on for a fresh start. The plan centers on developing a young core (Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, Kevin Coleman, Malik Washington) and strong special teams (Ryan Miller), with Kadyn Proctor at left guard and a developing secondary, while staying selective with free agency and prioritizing weekly improvement.
