It’s NFL Sunday, folks! That means that we are going to have football on the television for the entire day with an early London game, but it also means that we need to set our starting fantasy football lineups.

The Top QBs To Start in Week 4
Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (@TEN)
Analysis by Kyle Soppe | Was Burrow great on Monday night against the Rams in a game we weren’t sure he’d play? No. He completed just 26 of 49 passes for 259 yards with an interception and had some moments where he was hobbling, but he made it through the game and got the Bengals a win.
Him lasting four quarters is all I needed to see to get back on Burrow moving forward. This Titans defense served as a get-right spot for Deshaun Watson last week, and I see more of the same for Burrow this week.
He targeted Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins with 52.2% of his throws in Week 3. If that is sustained, my ranking of QB10 for Burrow this week isn’t going to be high enough.

I’m targeting his upside over the safety that comes with a QB like Brock Purdy or the matchup play in Russell Wilson (vs. CHI).
Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Miami Dolphins (@BUF)
Analysis by Kyle Soppe | Tagovailoa has established himself as the premier pocket passer for our purposes. All he did on Sunday — without his clear second option (Jaylen Waddle) — was throw for 309 yards with more touchdown passes (four) than incompletions (three).
There is no taking anything away from what Tagovailoa has done up to this point, but it’s worth noting that he managed just 12.3 fantasy points in the lone tough matchup this season (Week 2 at NE). The Bills look like a defense to fear, but they also have yet to play a potent offense.
With Waddle likely back in the mix, there’s just no way to fade what this Miami offense is doing. When it comes to slowing this Dolphins juggernaut, watch out for any weather-related news, but early forecasts are calling for perfect conditions in upstate New York.
