C.J. Stroud or Brock Purdy Week 4 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy Football projections for QBs explored

The weekend has arrived, and teams are building up to Sunday. Thursday Night Football was a highly entertaining game featuring the Seattle Seahawks in the desert against the Arizona Cardinals.

With the Seahawks winning by the margin of a field goal, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers will look to keep up with them in the division when hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Purdy presents an interesting fantasy football situation compared to Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud, who faces the Tennessee Titans this week.

Ahead of both games, let's explore the Week 4 fantasy projections of Purdy and Stroud, and find out which player you should start.

CJ Stroud has struggled to start the season. In a surprising turn of events, the Texans are winless entering Week 4. They haven't necessarily had the hardest schedule to start the year, but they've constantly found themselves on the losing end of tight games, losing by no more than seven points.

However, the tide could turn on Sunday, when they take on the Titans in a divisional showdown. Tennessee is also scraping away at the bottom of the league at 0-3 and looks considerably worse than Houston.

The game presents an opportunity for Stroud to score big in fantasy football.

Brock Purdy Week 4 Fantasy Football projections

Brock Purdy is on the comeback trail. Mac Jones handled quarterback duties in Purdy's absence due to injuries. However, coach Kyle Shanahan gave an optimistic update on Thursday, alluding to Purdy starting on Sunday.

They face a Jaguars team that's been putting up solid performances, standing at 2-1. But Purdy is expected to step right back into stride this week, as NFL.com predicts he'll score 19.29 fantasy points.

According to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start? tool, CJ Stroud is the go-to option. He is expected to record 12.5 fantasy points, while the simulator projects Brock Purdy to still be out with injury.

Stroud is predicted to put up around 186 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He is also expected to bag a handful of rushing yards with the possibility of a touchdown.
