Three weeks of NFL play are officially in the books, which means it’s time for fantasy football players to start worrying about bye weeks. Gone are the days where you could just coast by on a strong draft. Now more than ever, you’ll need to search the waiver wire for all the best available quarterbacks. Heading into Week 4, you should set your eyes on\u00a0Matthew Stafford<\/a>, Kyle Allen<\/a>, Jacoby Brissett<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Daniel Jones<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Note that in order to make this list, the player had to be available in over 50% of fantasy leagues. If you\u2019re in smaller leagues, there may be better players available. Make sure to check your waivers to see if there are any diamonds in the rough before submitting your claims.<\/p>\n

Matthew Stafford, Kyle Allen Highlight Fantasy Football Week 4 Quarterback Waiver Wire Streams<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Matthew Stafford<\/h3>\n

After a miserable 2018, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford appears to have returned to form in 2019. The longtime NFL veteran played through a broken back in 2018, so it\u2019s no surprise he\u2019s played better now that he\u2019s healthy. So far on the season, Stafford has thrown for 831 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions. He\u2019s no Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, <\/strong>but Stafford has the ability to deliver a starting-caliber performance for your fantasy team on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Mahomes, Stafford faces off against the reigning MVP in Week 4. The Kansas City Chiefs have the best offense in the league but still struggles to get stops on defense. Stafford is going to have to throw early and often to keep up with Mahomes, and Kansas City\u2019s defense shouldn\u2019t be much of an obstacle. Matthew Stafford is currently owned in 46.0% of NFL.com leagues, so make sure to pick him up and stream him off the waiver wire.<\/p>\n

Kyle Allen<\/h3>\n

Keep an eye on the injury report. If Cam Newton<\/a><\/strong> plays, then you\u2019ll obviously need to pivot away from Kyle Allen. However, if Newton needs more time to heal, or if Allen already won the job, Kyle Allen is a smart play in Week 4. Kyle Allen looked good<\/a> during his lone start in 2018 and followed it up with a strong 2019 debut. Facing off against the Arizona Cardinals, Allen went 19\/26 with 261 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions.<\/p>\n

At this point in time, it\u2019s not controversial to say that Allen is a better pure passer than Cam Newton. The Panthers face off against a subpar Houston Texans defense, and Allen should put up a good game against this unit. Deshaun Watson<\/a><\/strong> should put up points, which means Allen\u2019s going to have to throw to keep up. He might not be QB1 material, but he\u2019s a capable starter in two-quarterback leagues.<\/p>\n

Jacoby Brissett<\/h3>\n

Jacoby Brissett is no Andrew Luck<\/a><\/strong>, but he\u2019s an NFL-caliber starter. The former third-round pick continues to get better with experience, throwing for 310 yards and two touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons. He\u2019s clearly more comfortable under center and head coach Frank Reich<\/a><\/strong> is starting to put more of the offense in Brissett\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

Jacoby Brissett faces off against an overmatched Oakland Raiders secondary in Week 4. The 2019 Raiders are better than their 2018 counterparts, but this team still has holes all across the roster. Brissett is easily capable of tearing apart this underwhelming unit and delivering a top-12 performance.<\/p>\n

Daniel Jones<\/h3>\n

The New York Giants rookie put on one hell of a show against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his first start, Jones threw for 336 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding another 28 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Jones’ mobility gives him a safe floor, but he has a tougher matchup in Week 4. Jones faces off against a Redskins defense which actually has a few pieces. It’s not an elite unit by any means, but it’s considerably better than Tampa’s defense. Jones showed a lot of promise in Week 3, but let’s see how he does against better competition before getting too excited.<\/p>\n
