With all but two Week 4 games in the books (Monday night doubleheader featuring Jets at Dolphins and Bengals at Broncos), we’ve learned a little bit more than we knew last week. Or, in some cases, thought we knew. Players impressed, players disappointed, players unfortunately got hurt and there is fantasy football fallout to unpack.

Once again, I’ve compiled the full weekly fantasy stock report below. These are the most notable risers and fallers coming out of Week 4. Invest accordingly!
š Stock Up at RB
Quinshon Judkins, Browns
In his NFL debut, Quinshon Judkins had 71 yards on 13 touches (including 6.1 yards per carry). In his second game, he had 94 rushing yards on 18 carries (5.2 per carry). And while his efficiency dropped a bit in a blowout loss to the Lions this week, Judkins still put together 115 scrimmage yards on 25 touches, including four catches for 33 yards. He isnāt just the Brownsā clear-cut RB1 ā heās the entire focus of their offense. With the volume, the talent and the revelation that he might be game-script proof, Judkins is climbing towards the top of RB2 territory … and maybe onto the RB1 fringe.
Ashton Jeanty, Raiders
There it was! The breakout game that every Boise State fan, Las Vegas fan and Ashton Jeanty fantasy drafter had been waiting for: 155 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 23 opportunities. The rookie scored 10 more fantasy points on Sunday (32.5) than he did in the first three weeks combined (23.2). Geno Smith and the Raiders offensive line are still major question marks ā and thatās putting it kindly ā but itās good to know Jeanty can do this at the NFL level. The āTrent Richardsonā bust comparisons should be quieted for a while.
Josh Jacobs, Packers
For the second straight week, Josh Jacobs was extremely productive as a receiver for the Packers. Heās racked up nine catches for 115 yards on 13 targets the last two weeks. And while the 86 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries on Sunday night didnāt hurt either, the pass-catching work is what really has Jacobsā stock on the rise. If he can turn in a 50-catch season, like he did a couple times back with the Raiders, Jacobs will not only lock down his status as a fantasy RB1, heāll have the top tier at the position well within his sights.
Woody Marks, Texans
After stepping into a somewhat even committee with Nick Chubb last week, rookie Woody Marks logged 58.5% of the offensive snaps and turned a team-high 22 opportunities into 119 scrimmage yards (while Chubb managed 62 yards on 15 opportunities). Best of all, Marks scored a pair of touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving, both from outside the 10-yard line. He looked extremely impressive and might have played his way to the top of this backfield, which makes him not only a high-priority waiver add, but a legitimate fantasy starter moving forward.
š Stock Up at WR
Quentin Johnston, Chargers
Itās time. After a couple years of mockery, and a few weeks of optimistic doubt, I can officially confirm. Quentin Johnston is good. Heck, he might be great. The Chargers wideout has averaged a whopping 9.3 targets per game, has had 70+ yards in all four contests and scored four TDs across these four weeks as well. Thereās still a chance Ladd McConkey gets better, but at this point, it would just be to deepen the impressive Los Angeles depth chart ⦠with Johnston at the top. Heās currently the WR4 overall and it seems very unlikely he falls out of fantasy WR2 range (at the lowest) this year.
George Pickens, Cowboys
No CeeDee Lamb? Apparently no problem for George Pickens. In Lambās first game on the sideline (ankle), Pickens was an absolute star (pun intended), catching eight of 11 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns in an overtime game against Green Bay. It might end up being his best game of the year, but he looks like a must-start while Lamb is out and may have unlocked a connection with Dak Prescott that keeps him in the WR2 conversation rest of season.
š Stock Up Elsewhere
Dak Prescott, Cowboys
I was convinced Dak Prescott was one of fantasyās most underrated players in 2025, and it finally showed up in the box score in Week 4. Even with Lamb absent, Prescott completed 31-of-40 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns, while adding a two-yard rushing score to boot. All against Micah Parsons and a previously vaunted Packers defense. Heās now thrown for 931 yards and six TDs over the past three games and seems to be getting better every week. Donāt be surprised if heās a strong QB1 for the rest of the year.
Drake Maye, Patriots
Somewhat quietly ā thanks to a lackluster team around him ā Drake Maye has been an incredibly productive fantasy QB through the first four games. He leads the league with a 74% completion rate, has thrown seven touchdowns to just two interceptions and trails just Lamar Jackson, Jared Goff, Josh Allen and Jordan Love in passer rating (109.4). Heās also scored 21.8 fantasy points as a rusher ⦠and is currently the QB5 on the season. Maye should be considered a must-start option until something changes or against the toughest matchups.Ā
Kyle Pitts Sr., Falcons
This is partially about Kyle Pitts Sr. having his best game of the season so far ā 15.5 fantasy points with 70 yards and a touchdown ā but itās also about his baseline usage. Pitts is second on the Falcons with an 18.5% target share and has caught at least four passes in all four games. Heās found a sneakily solid floor (for a tight end) and flashed the high upside in Week 4. Pitts should be rostered (and started) in almost every league.
š Stock Down at RB
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Commanders
I hate to be the bearer of bad news for āBillā truthers, but things are not changing quick enough in Washington. After splitting the snaps evenly with Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Jeremy McNichols in the first game without Austin Ekeler ⦠Jacory Croskey-Merritt split the snaps evenly three ways again on Sunday. Except that he didnāt make up for it with a touchdown this time. This might be the most frustrating three-man committee in the NFL for the rest of the season, and you should not feel confident starting any of them until proven otherwise.
TreVeyon Henderson, Patriots
In the game after Rhamondre Stevensonās Week 3 fumble disaster, and while absolutely blowing the brakes off the Panthers, TreVeyon Henderson still only saw seven carries and two targets. He played just 29.2% of the snaps, and while a five-yard touchdown run makes an unexciting fantasy day look decent (11.6 points), it should be noted that both Stevenson and Antonio Gibson had goal-line looks on Sunday as well. If Henderson canāt do it in this game, it might be quite a while until he does ⦠if ever. He should ride the fantasy pine until something changes in New England.
Isiah Pacheco, Chiefs
Had Isiah Pacheco not managed an eight-yard touchdown catch late in the first half, we might be talking about dropping the Chiefs back heading towards Week 5. As it is, he managed double-digit fantasy points for the first time this year ⦠but still hasnāt crested 40 rushing yards in a game and is averaging just 6.5 carries per contest. With Kareem Hunt heavily involved and the Kansas City run game ineffective at large, Pacheco cannot be started in fantasy and is (still) right on the fringe of drop territory.
š Stock Down at WR
Jameson Williams, Lions
Jameson Williams had 17.8 fantasy points on two catches in Week 2 (against the Bears defense). One of those two catches was a 64-yarder and the other was a 44-yard touchdown. Outside of those two catches ā so, his other three-plus games combined ā Williams has just 14.6 fantasy points on the season. He will have another big day ⦠maybe even two or three. But you will never know when they’re coming, and playing him will be consistently frustrating. If you can trade him for someone like Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr. or Ricky Pearsall (if healthy), strongly consider it.
Calvin Ridley, Titans
Calvin Ridley has quite quickly and somewhat quietly slipped down to the WR2 spot in Tennessee, behind rookie Elic Ayomanor. Thatās not a great place to be with Cam Ward and the offense functioning like it is ā very, very, very poorly. Ridleyās season highs sit at four catches and 57 yards ā in different games ā and he has yet to crack eight fantasy points in a single contest. As Matt Harmon stated on Sunday, the Titans offense is a mess and Ridley is a big part of said mess. Heās legitimately droppable.
Ladd McConkey, Chargers
Ladd McConkey was here last week, so Iāll be brief: after three weeks of āgood-not-greatā and playing in the shadow of Johnston and Keenan Allen, McConkey was straight bad in Week 4 (one catch for 11 yards). He has trended the wrong direction in fantasy points every week of the season, and must be benched until something improves ⦠or traded in case it doesnāt.
š Stock Down Elsewhere
Daniel Jones, Colts
Iām not excited about throwing water on the Indiana Jones hype ⦠but he might not be the fantasy superstar we thought he was through the first two weeks. Without a rushing touchdown either of the last two games (he had three in the first two), Jones has posted fewer than 16 fantasy points in consecutive contests. And he still hasnāt thrown more than a single TD pass in a game all year. Like McConkey, heās trended down in fantasy points every week; you have to wonder if teams are getting more tape and figuring the ānew Daniel Jonesā out. Heās just a streamer against the Raiders next week and is formally on drop watch.
Brock Bowers and Sam LaPorta, Raiders/Lions
I know Brock Bowers started the year with an injury, but since Week 1, he has logged fewer than eight fantasy points in three straight games. Geno Smith has been dreadful and Bowers isnāt racking up enough targets to be the elite TE1 he was last year. Meanwhile, Sam LaPorta is in the exact same boat (possibly for different reasons), with three straight games under six fantasy points after a decent 10.9-point opener. These guys are the TE11 and TE16 on the year, respectively, and I donāt know that weāre talking about it enough. Be concerned.
