Fantasy analysts recommend that managers avoid starting Kirk Cousins, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, and Sam Darnold in Week 4 of the NFL season. Cousins faces a tough Kansas City defense, and his fantasy performance is projected to decline. Herbert has struggled in an 0-3 season, ranking low in various efficiency metrics as the Chargers take on the Seahawks. Nix has not met expectations and also faces a challenging matchup against the 49ers, while Darnold is projected to see limited opportunities given Seattle's run-heavy approach. Managers are encouraged to consider alternative quarterbacks for their lineups.
