2026 Fantasy Football Weekly Projections – Week 4

By Brian Shade Published September 30, 2026 1 min read

By Week 4, we have a stronger sample of games to evaluate, giving us a clearer picture of player roles, usage and production. Brian Shade’s projection model uses that growing body of information to provide a data-driven outlook for the week ahead.

The injuries keep piling up and you have to move quick to stay above water.  Stick and move is the key to winning fantasy this season because no one is getting to the finish line unscathed.

Still deciding who to start? Use the Week 4 projections to compare players, evaluate close lineup calls and add another objective data point to your decision-making process. Fantasy football rarely gives us easy answers, but good projections can help make those decisions a little clearer.
