Who to Start and Sit in Week 4

Week 4·2026 NFL Season

Not sure who to start and who to sit in Week 4? These fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em rankings cover every fantasy-relevant quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. Each player earns an AstroScore — our rating drawn from their birth chart and the week's planetary transits — shown beside matchup strength and projected points, so you can settle your toughest lineup calls with the cosmos on your side.

How AstroScore works

AstroScore is a 0–100 rating built from a player's astrology. It reflects any positive or negative effects they may experience on the date of their next game based on current planetary movements and their birth chart. A score of 60 or higher signals favorable cosmic influences (Start); 40 or lower signals headwinds (Sit).

The Matchup and Projected Points columns are standard, unadjusted fantasy football stats. AstroScore is most useful for determining who may over or under-perform their expected performance or breaking ties in close calls.
