  • Making your fantasy football start/sit decisions ahead of Sunday's Week 4 NFL kickoff?
  • Our expert outlines the final edition of his Week 4 fantasy football rankings into tiers below.
  • Find his rankings for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers and defenses.

Fantasy football start vs. sit decisions are way more nuanced than locking the best players into your starting lineup.

Matchups matter, recent workloads matter, a lot of other fluctuating factors matter. That's why my rankings shift from week-to-week — and even day-to-da. That's also why I outline my rankings into tiers for each position twice each week: Right before we make our first start/sit decisions for Thursday Night Football, then again on Saturdays before locking in our lineups for Sundays.

Below you'll find the final version of my Week 4 fantasy tiers for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, defenses and kickers. Last-minute developments could still impact these tiers, though, so be sure to check my real-time rankings before games kick off Sunday.
