Fantasy Football Week Four Quarterback Rankings

Are you ready for the Fantasy Football quarterback rankings. As stated in our Week 3 Waiver Wire piece, by now you should have a good idea of what kind of fantasy football team you have. Similarly, you should also be aware of what your quarterback situation will look like for the rest of the season and if you own guys like Derek Anderson, Marc Bulger and David Garrard then you’re likely ready to write the season off. There is no need to panic yet. There are still good quarterbacks available in free agency and as you acquire these new players, we want to help you determine which ones have the most value on a week-to-week basis.

So, here are the Fantasy Football Week 4 Quarterback Rankings for you to digest. Keep in mind that with six teams on bye weeks instead of the normal four, you might need to dig a bit deeper to find your quarterback and make sure you hit your leagues waiver wire.

1. Jay Cutler (Denver Broncos) at Kansas City

Cutler had no problem lighting up a so-called revamped defense last week against the Saints as he went 21-of-34 for 264 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Once again he found Brandon Marshall early and often. When it was all said in done, Marshall finished with six receptions for 155 receiving yards and one touchdown.Plus, with Kansas City being one of the worst defenses in the NFL it should be a field day for the rising star. The Chiefs allowed rookie Matt Ryan to go for 192 yards and a touchdown while completing 66.6 percent of his passes. 
Point Projection: 25 points

2. Tony Romo (Dallas Cowboys) vs. Washington

The schedule has been difficult so far for the Cowboys but it hasn’t seemed to affect Romo at all. The guy has thrown five touchdowns against just three interceptions in games against Green Bay, Cleveland (not so difficult) and Philadelphia. The Redskins defense is solid but the secondary isn’t perfect, plus they are nursing injuries to safety Kareem Moore, defensive end Jason Taylor and linebacker Marcus Washington. That, along with the fact that it appears Romo continues to somehow improve as a quarterback means another good week.
Point Projection: 22 points

3. Donovan McNabb (Philadelphia Eagles) at Chicago

As if dealing without receivers Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis weren’t bad enough, now chronically injured running back Brian Westbrook is hobbling on a sore ankle. Head coach Andy Reid has said that Westbrook will likely play against the Bears, but it’s never a good sign when he’s banged up. Regardless, McNabb has proven he can get it done with backups like Correll Buckhalter and Hank Baskett. It’s also worth mentioning that the Bears defense ranks 28th in the league in pass defense. Plan accordingly.
Point Projection: 20 points

4. Philip Rivers (San Diego Chargers) at Oakland

Perhaps he was flying under the radar a bit because he didn’t have a cannon of an arm like Brett Favre or Tom Brady and he wasn’t putting up ridiculous numbers like Brees. But six touchdowns against just one interception in his first two games speaks much to the capability of Rivers, not to mention the three touchdown passes against the Jets. He’s an extremely accurate passer who is now being asked to do more as running back LaDainian Tomlinson continues to nurse injures. Having Rivers pass more may not be such a bad thing against Oakland as the Raiders rank 26th in pass defense and 24th in points allowed this season.
Point Projection: 19 points

5. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) vs. San Francisco

Cutler’s counterpart on Sunday also played well as he went 39-of-48 for 421 yards and a touchdown. It’s clear that even without injured receiver Marques Colston that Brees can and will play at a high level. However, with tight end Jeremy Shockey needing sports hernia surgery Brees will be forced to throw to second fiddle receivers all afternoon. San Fracisco’s defense has been much improved this season though it’s likely nobody has noticed. The 49ers pass defense actually ranks seventhin the league after three games so don’t expect Brees to come out and get you 30+ points. However, the Saints offense can do things that the others San Fracisco has played can’t. Brees shouldn’t have much of a problem exceeding his 15.3 point per game average in this contest.
Point Projection: 19 points

6.  Carson Palmer (Cincinnati Bengals) vs. Cleveland

It appears that Palmer and the Bengals offense is finally on track after a solid performance in a losing effort to the Giants. In that game Palmer was 27-of-39 for 286 yards and one touchdown while he helped put together multiple drives for Cincinnati, mostly without the help of Mr. Ocho Cinco. He also got on track with receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh signaling that all is right with the passing game in Cincinnati, finally. This week against Browns you can expect the positive trends for the Bengals offense to continue. The Browns haven’t been able to stop anybody yet and have a secondary full of “who’s that?” guys.
Point Projection: 18 points

7. Kurt Warner (Arizona Cardinals) at New York Jets

Despite a costly interception, Warner looked good during the Cardinals loss to the Washington Redskins in week three. He’s passed for six touchdowns in the three games so far, but perhaps the best thing to see is that he is taking better care of the ball this year as he has just one turnover. The Jets pass defense was stubborn in their first two games, but in week three they allowed 48 points to the San Diego Chargers. Look for Warner and company to throw early and often in this game. 
Point Projection: 18 points
