Here are my Week 4 QB rankings for standard-scoring leagues that reward four points per touchdown pass:

This countdown doesn't lean on a particular stat. It's merely an educated early guess of which signal-callers, 1 through 26, will have the best combination of total yards (passing/rushing) and total touchdowns for the NFL's fourth weekend.

Regardless of how these rankings shake out every week, it shouldn't supersede two important factors that go into regular lineup consideration:

1. Always play your healthy superstars.

2. Always ride your gut instinct over a certain guru's analysis (read: plausible deniability).

BYES: Arizona, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, St. Louis, Seattle
