Most fantasy football championship games were played in Week 16. Some of the players who helped to win those leagues, such as Todd Gurley and Antonio Brown, were expected to do so.
As always though, there were players, who weren’t really on draft radars, who ended up playing a large role for those that picked them up from the free agent list.
Here are the top fantasy football players in 2018 who were likely undrafted. The list features one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end.
In order to be eligible for the list, the player must have had an average draft position after 150 according to Fantasy Pros (150 players are drafted in a 10-team, 15-round league).
Some honorable mentions include Dak Prescott (Cowboys), Baker Mayfield (Browns), Lamar Jackson (Ravens) at quarterback, T.J. Yeldon (Jaguars), Gus Edwards (Ravens) at running back, Dede Westbrook (Jaguars), Chris Godwin (Buccaneers) at wide receiver, and Jared Cook (Raiders), Austin Hooper (Falcons) at tight end.
Quarterback - Mitchell Trubisky, Bears
The second overall pick in 2017, Trubisky has rebounded from a miserable rookie season. Despite missing two games, he has thrown for 3,060 yards and 24 touchdowns. The 24-year-old has also ran for 405 yards and three touchdowns. In seven of his 13 outings, Trubisky has thrown at least two touchdown passes.
Running back - James Conner, Steelers
Most drafts took place before anyone knew Le'Veon Bell would not just hold out in Week 1, but the entire season. While Conner unfortunately missed most fantasy playoffs due to injury (has missed the last three games), he filled in more than admirably for Bell. In 12 games, he has rushed for 909 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 52 catches for 467 yards. He has five games, on the year, with multiple touchdown runs.
Running back - Phillip Lindsay, Broncos
Not just undrafted in most fantasy leagues but the 2018 NFL Draft as well, Lindsay has been one of the league's biggest surprises. He is seventh in the league both with 1,037 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. He rushed for over 100 yards three times and over 60 in 10 of his 15 outings. He is listed as the flex on the NFL.com All-Rookie Team.
Wide receiver - Tyler Boyd, Bengals
In ten games last season, Boyd recorded just 22 receptions for 225 yards. While he missed Week 16 with injury, the third-year receiver has had a very productive season. He is tied for 14th in the NFL in receiving touchdowns (7), 19th in receiving yards (1,028), and tied for 22nd in receptions (76). Three different games he went over the century mark in receiving yards.
Wide receiver - Adam Humphries, Buccaneers
After a slow start (101 receiving yards in his first four games), Humphries has been a solid starter in fantasy more often than not since then. In the ensuing 11 games, he has averaged approximately 5.3 receptions for 59 yards and scored five touchdowns over that time frame. He proved quite valuable in PPR leagues for those that started him in their championship game in Week 16 as he caught 10 passes for 79 yards.
Tight end - Eric Ebron, Colts
Taken by the Lions in the first round in 2014, Ebron scored 11 touchdowns in four seasons with the team. In his first year with Indianapolis, he has scored 12 with one game remaining. Not only is that the most among all tight ends, but it's the third-most in the league only behind Antonio Brown and Davante Adams. He is also fifth at the tight end position with 690 yards receiving and sixth with 62 catches.
