Hayden Winks releases Week 4 fantasy football rankings for quarterbacks, tight ends, defenses and kickers

Fantasy analyst Hayden Winks published his weekly "Blueprint" column with projected fantasy points for Week 4. The quarterback rankings place Josh Allen at the top with 21.9 projected points, followed by Lamar Jackson (21.2) and Patrick Mahomes (20). Brock Purdy, noted for strong performance since 2025, appears at seventh with 19.8 points.

For tight ends, Winks ranks Brock Bowers first with an expected 72.5 receiving yards, highlighting his expanded role as a de-facto wide receiver. Trey McBride and George Kittle follow in second and third places, respectively. The analysis notes injuries to several San Francisco players that could increase Kittle's usage.

Winks also provides defensive and kicker charts, indicating that the best defenses are those projected to allow the fewest points, while kicker projections are based on expected scoring opportunities. He reminds readers that full positional rankings are updated through Sunday morning and are available on his site.
