After completing an NFL rookie record 91.3% of his pass attempts in a win over the Bengals on Monday Night Football, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels now leads the NFL in completion percentage (80.3%). He's averaged 8.7 yards per pass attempt and thrown for 664 yards with two touchdowns and now interceptions while also rushing for 171 yards and three scores. If you've had Daniels on your bench until this point, it might be time to start considering moving him into your Week 4 Fantasy football lineups ahead of a matchup with the Cardinals on Sunday.
A reliable set of Week 4 Fantasy football rankings can help ensure you're nailing any difficult start-sit decisions this week. They can also help you work the Fantasy football waiver wire and free agency to plug any holes in your Fantasy football roster created by injuries. Before you lock in your Fantasy football lineups, be sure to check out the Week 4 Fantasy football rankings from the advanced computer model at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home emptyhanded.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, including being ahead of the curve on players like A.J. Brown, Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Jahmyr Gibbs. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 4 Fantasy football picks
One surprise in Week 4: The model is fading Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, who was started in 81% of CBS Sports PPR leagues last week after breaking out over the first two weeks of the season. Williams had 10 catches for 200 yards and a touchdown over the first two weeks and also rushed for 28 yards but he had a bust week against the Cardinals in Week 3.
Williams played a season-low 71% of snaps and he was only targeted three times, catching one pass for nine yards. He also had one carry where he lost seven yards and finished with two scrimmage yards on two touches. Now he'll match up with a Seahawks defense that has only allowed 397 passing yards over the first three weeks (best in the league) and the model ranks him outside its top 40 wide receivers for Week 4.
Another curveball: The model is high on Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard. After benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton, the Carolina offense came alive in Week 3. The Panthers racked up 437 yards of total offense and scored 36 points, and Hubbard was a major component of that success. The Oklahoma State product carried the ball 21 times for 114 yards and also caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown.
Now he'll take on a Bengals run defense that allowed both Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson Jr. to score touchdowns on Monday and that also gave up well over 100 scrimmage yards to Isiah Pacheco and Rhamondre Stevenson. The model ranks Hubbard as a top-15 running back with a solid matchup in Week 4. For more start/sit Fantasy football advice, be sure to check out the rest of the Week 4 Fantasy football rankings.

This pick could be the difference between winning big and going home with nothing. See the model's entire Week 4 Fantasy football rankings for PPR and standard leagues here.
