Week 4 NFL Fantasy Football: Who’s Hot, & Who’s Not!
Welcome Back! Big Guy Fantasy Sports is thrilled to bring you another year of the best in NFL consistency rankings and championship fantasy football strategy.
Week 3 in NFL Fantasy Football means we need to take a look at Week 4’s “Who’s Hot & Who’s Not” based on the consistency model.
Each week, Colby Conway gives his insights on the consistency of the players in your season-long leagues! Find out who’s been (HOT) consistent and (NOT HOT) inconsistent in order to help you make waiver wire claims and start/sit decisions this year.
Two weeks of the NFL season have passed, and fantasy managers are doing their best to have rational reactions to Weeks 1 and 2. However, I’ll urge you not to get too high or too low this early in the season. In this week’s edition of Who’s Hot and Who’s Not, we’ll dive into standout performances from Caleb Williams and Keenan Allen, while determining the appropriate level of concern for guys like C.J. Stroud and Ashton Jeanty.
Don’t forget, you can see how consistent your players are in your league with your scoring method by checking the Consistency Report.

Who’s Hot & Who’s Not – 9/23/2025 – NFL Fantasy Week 4
Who’s Hot!
Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears
Williams is the QB3 on the year, and he’s one of just two QBs to have scored at least 18 points every game this season. That’s impressive, because the other quarterback to do so is Lamar Jackson. He’s in elite company to say the least, and he has a 7:1 TD/INT ratio through three games. His 5.3 rushing attempts and 32.3 yards per game are up from last season, which is obviously good for fantasy. Just to put things into perspective here, but his 0.66 fantasy points per dropback is higher than the likes of Josh Allen (0.65), Jordan Love (0.56), and Justin Herbert (0.50), per Fantasy Points. Hence, fantasy managers can expect good, consistent things ahead for Williams!
Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts
Taylor is your RB1 for the year, and he’s put up 29+ points in back-to-back weeks. His 3.70 yards after contact per attempt is second-best in the NFL amongst RBs with at least 25 carries, per Fantasy Points. Expect him to be a consistent option moving forward as the lead back for the Colts.
Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers
Allen has caught 19 of 28 targets for 194 yards and three touchdowns so far in 2025. He’s scored in all three of his games, and he leads Los Angeles’ three primary receivers in fantasy points per route run and target share, per Fantasy Points. The Chargers are throwing the ball a lot, so there’s plenty to go around for the pass catchers. Expect the consistency to continue for the veteran wideout!

Who’s Not!
C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
Stroud is pacing for a career-best year on the ground; however, that’s the only positive for him thus far. He’s averaging under 200 passing yards per game and has a 2:3 TD/INT ratio through three weeks. His catchable ball rate is horrendous, and his fantasy points per dropback at the moment is the same as Spencer freaking Rattler! Let me emphatically state that the offense is broken, the offensive line is atrocious, and the offensive scheme is archaic. All of that to say, Stroud is not set up for success, and I’m not sure there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Because of all this, fantasy managers should be very concerned with Stroud moving forward.
Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders
Jeanty has the fifth-best missed tackles forced per attempt (0.26) amongst running backs with at least 25 carries, per Fantasy Points. However, he has the ninth-lowest yards after contact per attempt and the fifth-lowest yards before contact per attempt. He’s clearly the lead back, but the results haven’t been there, and he has just three yards on five receptions. He’s currently the RB33 on the season, and has just one game with double-digit fantasy points.
Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears
Loveland has yet to really break through amidst all of the weapons in Chicago. He has a 6.3 percent target share and an underwhelming 1.00 yards per route run, per Fantasy Points. Cole Kmet is running more routes, and until his role expands, it’s hard to really trust him in fantasy at this point. All things considered, he’ll likely be dropped in most leagues, especially shallower formats.
Week 3 of the NFL Fantasy season is in the books, and now we get to look forward to Week 4! Check in again next week for my weekly in-season series “Who’s Hot & Who’s Not” article and see who’s flying under the radar! Follow me on X, @ColbyRConway, for more football!
