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.
