Week 4 in the NFL had plenty of primetime drama with both the Thursday and Sunday night games coming down to the wire. With two games left on Monday night, we’ve already had some exciting performances, including some veterans playing well and an exciting new starter in New York. With bye week season upon us, let’s take a look ahead at the 28 teams in action in Week 5 and run down the top 15 in my fantasy football QB rankings for this week.
Before we look ahead, let’s look back at Week 4. The top quarterback performance coming into Monday Night Football’s two games was from Dak Prescott (34 FPTS) on Sunday Night Football. He finished just ahead of Matthew Stafford (30.4 FPTS) and Jordan Love (30.3 FPTS), who also produced over 30 fantasy points with big performances. Patrick Mahomes (27.3 FPTS), Carson Wentz (26.2 FPTS) and Josh Allen (25.9 FPTS) also had over 25 fantasy points.
Jasxon Dart (19.8 FPTS) had a very solid NFL debt and even led the Giants to one of the biggest upsets of the week, knocking off the previously undefeated Chargers.
On the season, Allen still has the most points of all QBs, followed by Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Drake Maye and Jalen Hurts. Caleb Williams is the QB6 so far this season, but his Bears have a bye this week, along with the Falcons, Packers and Steelers.
