NFL Week 4 Fantasy Football drop list

In Week 4 of the NFL season, fantasy football managers should consider dropping several key players from their rosters based on their performances. Quarterbacks Drake Maye and Justin Herbert have both had inconsistent play, with Maye throwing six interceptions in three weeks and Herbert failing to meet the 250-yard mark in a single game. These quarterbacks may be worth keeping in deeper leagues, but they are early cut candidates in smaller formats.

Daniel Jones, the Colts' quarterback, has seen a decline in his statistical profile, with only three touchdowns, three interceptions, and a low average of passing yards per game. Jones' rushing capabilities from 2025 have not materialized, making him a must-drop in favor of other quarterbacks.

Running backs Jadarian Price and Mar’Shawn Lloyd have not justified their draft positions. Price, a rookie for the Seahawks, has struggled to adapt to a running back-by-committee approach as Zach Charbonnet's return approaches. Lloyd, a Packers running back, has been lackluster in a team utilizing a committee approach and lacking a strong rushing offense.

Wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., and Xavier Worthy also warrant consideration for drop lists. Harrison Jr., once seen as a potential upside, has not rebounded from his rookie season and struggles alongside other Cardinals receivers. Thomas Jr., who had a decent rookie season, has seen his playing time diminish as other receivers gain more touches.

Worthy, the Chiefs' WR2, has not been worthy in many fantasy leagues due to Travis Kelce's resurgence, Rashee Rice's reliability, and the addition of Kenneth Walker II.

Tight ends Kyle Pitts and Colston Loveland also face challenges. Pitts, once a reliable tight end option, has struggled with Drake London's presence and other reliable tight end alternatives. Loveland, a first-round pick, has been targeted sparingly and has failed to capitalize on his few catches, making him a less appealing option in the current league.
