Quarterback is one of the most intriguing week-to-week positions from a fantasy football perspective. If you have a solid option on your roster, then most of the time, you are rolling with that player outside of a bad matchup. However, sometimes you have to fly by the seat of your pants and make a week-to-week decision.
That is why our Week 4 QB fantasy rankings are here to help you decide who you should get in and out of your lineup ahead of Thursday Night Football.

The Top QBs To Start in Week 4
Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts
In the first six quarters of the NFL season, we saw just how much of a weapon Anthony Richardson could be for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, a concussion cut his Week 2 performance short and kept him out of Week 3. Richardson was able to open practice as a participant in Week 4, so he is on track to play this week.
Assuming he follows that path and gets cleared, Richardson should be ready to go straight back into fantasy lineups. His style of play will always make him a little more susceptible to injury, but he is so dynamic, and his legs are such a threat that rolling with and keeping your fingers crossed is the way I am playing it.
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Anyone who has watched the Miami Dolphins offense this year knows just how explosive this passing game can be. Tua and his receivers have been on point, and their speed makes them a constant threat. For as long as Tua is healthy, it will be hard not to start him.

The biggest concern is that the Bills allow a league-worst 5.9 yards per rush attempt, and the Dolphins just came off a 300+ yard rushing day in Week 3. The Dolphins could realistically run the ball up and down the field on Buffalo all day, limiting Tua’s opportunities (see Week 2 at New England). However, the Bills also haven’t allowed a rushing touchdown, so maybe Tua just scores all his points through touchdowns.
