Kirk Cousins, Justin Herbert, and 2 More Must-Sit Fantasy Football Quarterbacks in Week 4

Week 4 fantasy football projections suggest that Kirk Cousins, Justin Herbert, and two other quarterbacks should be avoided as start options. Cousins, despite being the QB12 in fantasy football, is projected to have a regression in fantasy output due to his lack of rushing ability and being among the lowest-scoring scramblers in the league.

The Raiders face a tough defensive matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are among the best in defensive EPA per play and pass play allowed. Justin Herbert, the Chargers' starting quarterback, has struggled in his 0-3 season start, ranking low in passing grade, completion percentage, and fantasy points per game. The Chargers face a strong opponent in the Seattle Seahawks, who rank high in defensive EPA allowed and are projected to run the ball more often.

Bo Nix, another quarterback to avoid, is currently outside the top-20 in fantasy football rankings. The San Francisco 49ers, with an average margin of victory of 16.0 points, present a potential upside option for Week 4, as they may provide a good game script for Nix. Malik Willis is projected as a top-10 quarterback, which could outshine Nix and Herbert.
