What are week 4 fantasy football rankings?

Week 4 rankings order players by expected fantasy points in this week's games only — matchup, injury status and role all count, season-long value does not. They are the board to check before you set a lineup.

What does the best / worst rank mean?

Every row shows the consensus rank plus the highest and lowest rank any contributing FantasyPros expert gave the player this week. A wide gap means the experts disagree — usually an injury question, a new role, or a matchup they read differently.

Should I start the higher-ranked player?

Usually, but rankings are league-agnostic. Scoring settings, your other options at the position and your opponent all matter. Connect your league to LeagueLogs — it's free — and the AI chat that knows your league answers start/sit questions against your actual roster.
