Experts predict Week 4 NFL upset picks, fantasy football sleepers and flops, plus best rookie

The Monday night game didn't turn out to be the epic many figured it would be, but it still saw Patrick Mahomes account for five touchdowns.

He wasn't the only quarterback to do that in Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season, either. Russell Wilson tossed touchdowns 10-14 on the season, the most TD passes through three games in NFL history.

Seven teams moved to 3-0, while 1-2 is good enough to be tied atop the NFC East.

Our panel of experts is here to push the panic button on one would-be NFC contender and help you with Week 4's biggest upsets, fantasy football flops and potential sleepers.

What's your top upset pick for Week 4?

Matt Bowen, NFL writer: Jaguars (+3.0) over Bengals. With more volume for rookie running back James Robinson, plus quarterback Gardner Minshew going up against a subpar Bengals secondary, the Jags can get the road win.

Jeremy Fowler, national NFL writer: Chargers (+7) over Buccaneers. The Chargers are still having problems closing out games but can play with anyone. Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is legit. Joey Bosa and the pass rush will have something for Tom Brady.

Kevin Seifert, national NFL writer: Titans (+1.5) over Steelers. Two 3-0 teams are facing off, and the home team is the underdog. Titans tailback Derrick Henry might struggle to hit his usual productivity against the Steelers' stout run defense, but Tennessee will find ways to move the ball through the air.

Seth Walder, sports analytics writer: Jaguars (+3.0) over Bengals. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has flashed his ability at times in his young NFL career, but I'm not fully buying his immediate ascendancy just yet. Minshew has outperformed Burrow in QBR and in NFL Next Gen Stats' completion percentage over expectation thus far this season.

Field Yates, NFL analyst: Bears (+2.5) over Colts. Bill Parcells famously proclaimed "you are what your record says you are," so despite the fact Chicago has won each of its games by exactly four points, the Bears still deserve some respect. Nick Foles probably will start, and the quarterback steered the offense efficiently during a Week 3 relief outing.
