Before you set your fantasy football lineups for your upcoming matchup, it’s time to take a look back at which players performed the best in Week 4.
Marvin Harrison Jr. finally broke out on Thursday Night Football, but it was an otherwise uneventful contest from a fantasy perspective. Once the main slate got going, though, there were plenty of stars who powered their teams to victory. Dak Prescott blew up despite a tough matchup, Ashton Jeanty exploded to a historic degree and Puka Nacua was as dependable as ever.
Following another Monday Night Football doubleheader, here is a roundup of the players who led their respective positions in fantasy points during Week 4:

Quarterback Scoring Leaders
- Dak Prescott (DAL): 34.0 points
- Matthew Stafford (LAR): 30.4 points
- Jordan Love (GB): 30.3 points
- Bo Nix (DEN): 28.7 points
- Justin Fields (NYJ): 28.1 points
- Patrick Mahomes (KC): 27.3 points
- Carson Wentz (MIN): 26.2 points
- Josh Allen (BUF): 25.9 points
- Brock Purdy (SF): 23.7 points
- Drake Maye (NE): 23.2 points
Prescott may have been stashed on people’s benches, considering he was going against Micah Parsons and the Green Bay Packers’ defense without CeeDee Lamb. Yet, Prescott led his team to 40 points in a tie for the record books, lighting up the stat sheet along the way. He finished the night with 319 yards and three touchdowns on 31-for-40 passing, also rushing for a touchdown.
Running Back Scoring Leaders
- Ashton Jeanty (LV): 37.5 points
- Josh Jacobs (GB): 31.7 points
- Kenneth Gainwell (PIT): 31.4 points
- Bijan Robinson (ATL): 31.1 points
- Omarion Hampton (LAC): 30.5 points
- Bucky Irving (TB): 29.5 points
- Justice Hill (BAL): 28.7 points
- Woody Marks (HOU): 27.9 points
- Christian McCaffrey (SF): 26.1 points
- James Cook (BUF): 25.5 points
Three weeks into his rookie season, there were some serious questions being asked about Jeanty’s fantasy viability. Whether that had to do with the Las Vegas Raiders’ sketchy offensive line situation or Jeanty’s inability to adjust to the NFL level, he just wasn’t producing. That all changed Sunday, when he rushed for 138 yards on 21 carries, highlighted by his 64-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Boise State product also caught both of his targets for 17 yards and two touchdowns, clinching his first hat trick in the pros.
Wide Receiver Scoring Leaders
- Puka Nacua (LAR): 39.0 points
- George Pickens (DAL): 36.4 points
- Romeo Doubs (GB): 29.8 points
- Drake London (ATL): 28.0 points
- DK Metcalf (PIT): 26.6 points
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET): 26.0 points
- Justin Jefferson (MIN): 25.6 points
- Quentin Johnston (LAC): 23.8 points
- Marvin Mims Jr. (DEN): 20.5 points
- Garrett Wilson (NYJ): 20.2 points
When Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams had to have it Sunday afternoon, Nacua delivered. The NFL’s receiving leader put up more big numbers against the Indianapolis Colts, reeling in 13 out of 15 targets to the tune of 170 yards. Nacua picked up seven first downs, two of which came on third down conversions. That doesn’t even account for his game-tying touchdown on fourth down late in the fourth quarter, either.
Tight End Scoring Leaders
- Dallas Goedert (PHI): 19.7 points
- Tyler Warren (IND): 18.3 points
- Kyle Pitts Sr. (ATL): 18.0 points
- Darren Waller (MIA): 17.7 points
- Jake Ferguson (DAL): 17.0 points
- Tommy Tremble (CAR): 15.2 points
- Jake Tonges (SF): 14.8 points
- Trey McBride (ARI): 12.2 points
- AJ Barner (SEA): 12.2 points
- Hunter Henry (NE): 11.9 points
The Philadelphia Eagles came away with a win Sunday, despite not recording a single passing yard in the second half. Luckily for the fantasy owners who started Goedert, he did more than enough to outpace his projection in the first half alone. The tight end was tied for the team lead in both targets and catches, successfully securing all four of the passes thrown his way. He found paydirt twice, going for 37 yards and two touchdowns on the afternoon.
