PPR rankings for every position

The running game still seems to be ahead of the passing game for many NFL teams as workhorse backs such as Saquon Barkley and Alvin Kamara lead all fantasy scorers through the first three games of the season. Could this be the week that quarterbacks and receivers step up their games?

Fantasy football rankings for Week 4 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football Week 4 quarterback rankings

• Jordan Love (knee) will be a limited participant in practice, a little more than two weeks after suffering a sprained MCL in the season opener. It appears possible he could return to action on the early end of his projected timeline.
• Brock Purdy is dealing with back soreness, but it doesn’t appear it will impact his availability for Sunday.
• X-rays on Justin Herbert‘s ankle were negative after he was forced out of Sunday’s game. Taylor Heinicke would be back under center if Herbert can’t go.

Fantasy football Week 4 running back rankings

• Kenneth Walker (oblique) and Joe Mixon (ankle) are both optimistic that a week off will help them get back on the field. Both were listed as doubtful during the week and ended up being inactive for Sunday’s games. Keep an eye on their practice involvement.
• Jaylen Warren (knee) was forced out of last Sunday’s game early. He’ll be limited in practice to start the week.

Fantasy football Week 4 wide receiver rankings

• A.J. Brown (hamstring) has missed two consecutive games, but could be ready to return in Week 4. Meanwhile, teammate DeVonta Smith is going through the concussion protocol after taking a hard hit to the helmet and leaving Sunday’s game against the Saints.

Fantasy football Week 4 tight end rankings

• Sam LaPorta has been diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, which could allow him to play this week. LaPorta left Sunday’s game twice, but returned both times — though his production was minimal (two receptions, 36 yards).
• Trey McBride left his game on Sunday after taking a blow to the head. He will have to clear the concussion protocol before he’s able to suit up against the Commanders.
