NFL.com analysts provide one bold prediction for Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season, from fantasy forecasts to team-based takes.
In Dublin, the Steelers score twice on defense and once on special teams.
The Vikings' defense put on a masterclass against the Bengals last week, forcing five turnovers and scoring two defensive touchdowns. It's Pittsburgh's turn this week, with the Steelers and Vikings facing off in the NFL's first-ever regular-season game in Ireland. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin's crew has a pick-six and returns a fumble for a touchdown, while Pittsburgh's special teams unit returns a blocked field goal for a score.
Green Bay serves up a 50-burger in Dallas.
Jordan Love and the Packers struggled offensively against a stout Browns defense last week, but nothing screams get-right game like a date with Dallas' last-ranked pass D. The last time these two teams met, the Packers exploded for 48 total points, with Love tossing three touchdown passes in a playoff win at AT&T Stadium. On Sunday night, the Packers outdo themselves with 50-plus points, as Love throws for 400 yards and five TDs.
MVP candidate Daniel Jones shreds the Rams' defense at SoFi.
Adding to his MVP candidacy, Jones humiliates the Rams' fifth-ranked defense, racking up 375-plus total yards and four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing). The Colts keep surprising with a road win to improve to 4-0.
Tight ends Tucker Kraft and Jake Ferguson own Sunday night.
The Packers don’t have a true WR1. But they have a top target in Kraft, who leads Green Bay in every major receiving category. This week, he gets a woeful Dallas defense. Meanwhile, the Cowboys just lost CeeDee Lamb to a high ankle sprain, but George Pickens doesn’t appear primed to absorb that target share. Instead, expect Ferguson to be the primary option for Dak Prescott -- especially against a Packers defense that's had a blind spot against tight ends.
Fantasy fun: Rookie breakouts abound!
Ashton Jeanty, TreVeyon Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, Tyler Warren, Tetairoa McMillan and Matthew Golden all have their best fantasy performances to date. Omarion Hampton, Emeka Egbuka and Cam Skattebo join in the rookie fun with huge days, as well!
Jake Ferguson enjoys a monster prime-time performance.
With CeeDee Lamb sidelined by a high ankle sprain, a lot of people will look to George Pickens to pick up the slack. Not me. I’ll take tight end Jake Ferguson, who was targeted on 48 percent of his routes with Lamb off the field in Week 3 and leads all tight ends in catches this season (27). In Week 4, Ferguson will haul in 17 passes, falling one short of the single-game tight end record ... held by former Cowboy Jason Witten.
