Welcome to our Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings for Week 4 of the 2020 NFL regular season. In this week’s column, Aaron Rodgers shoots to the top of our ranks with a mouth-watering matchup. Nick Foles returns to prominence after unseating Mitchell Trubisky under center for the Chicago Bears and Cam Newton’s positive COVID-19 test strips him from our lineups.

Quarterback Outlook Week 4
There’s likely no turning back at quarterback for the Chicago Bears after Nick Foles (QB22) rallied the team back from 16 points down to defeat the Atlanta Falcons. In less than two quarters of play, Foles shredded Atlanta’s secondary to the tune of three touchdowns. He also had another two which were overturned by officials.
The good news for Foles, Chicago’s offense has shown capable of supporting a starting fantasy QB this season. If you combine Foles’ and Trubisky’s stats over the first three weeks, they average 23.44 points per game, the eighth-most at the position.
The bad news? Foles’ opponents this week, the Indianapolis Colts, have been unreal this season on defense. Indy has surrendered nearly 65 yards per game fewer than the next best defense, and an average of just 132 yards through the air this season. As you could expect, those numbers have translated over to fantasy, where they allow the fewest points to opposing QBs, including an average of 5.62 points over the past two weeks.
With that said, Foles remains a worthy stash. He can tap into that magic bag of his at any time. If Sunday was any indication, expect him to have a few tricks up his sleeve by season’s end.
