We have some key battles in store for Week 4 as Daniel Jones and the New York Giants will travel to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. Also, Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will square off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Since Jones and Mayfield will come up against tough opposition defenses in Week 4, here's an analysis on the two players to help fantasy managers decide which quarterback they should start.

Daniel Jones fantasy outlook for Week 4

Jones has shown considerable improvements for the Giants as the season has progressed. He led the team to its first win against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The quarterback has completed 62 of 104 passes for 600 yards and thrown for four touchdowns. Jones has also thrown two interceptions.

After three games, Jones has posted 49 fantasy points, averaging 16.3 fantasy points per game. However, it's important to note that Jones has scored at least 22.3 fantasy points in two games in a row against Washington and Cleveland.

We'd expect Jones to show further improvement when he comes up against the Dallas defense in Week 4.

Baker Mayfield fantasy outlook for Week 4

Mayfield has completed 61 of 82 passes for 637 yards, throwing six touchdowns and rushing for another score this season. The signal-caller has also thrown two interceptions.

In three games, Mayfield has tallied 67 fantasy points, averaging 22.3 fantasy points per game. The quarterback scored a season-low of 10.5 fantasy points against the Denver Broncos in Week 3.

Mayfield is likely to face another challenge in Week 4 when he attempts to navigate a way around a strong Eagles backline.

Fantasy Football Week 4: Final verdict on Daniel Jones or Baker Mayfield

While Baker Mayfield has the edge over Daniel Jones in most attributes this season, we'd suggest that you pick Jones in Week 4. This is mainly because the Cowboys' defense has looked shaky during the start of this season.

If Jones is able to link up well with the likes of Malik Nabers and co., we could see the quarterback rack up big points against Dallas.

Mayfield, on the other hand, may struggle to get much joy against the Eagles defense, which has looked solid in the early parts of the season.
