Six Week 1 fantasy football stars who were mostly unowned

Last season, Stafford had his lowest passing yards total since 2011 and lowest passing touchdown total since 2012. His 385 yards are more than he threw for in any game in 2018, and he had just one game last year with three passing touchdowns.

While it was expected that Todd Gurley would receive fewer touches this season, nobody could have expected Brown to have both of the Rams’ scores on the ground. Brown had just one career rushing touchdown entering the game in his first four seasons.

Even with Derrius Guice back in the fold, Thompson still looms large as a receiver out of the backfield. While he received just three carries, he had a very useful performance for those in PPR leagues.

Finally, the Bengals were able to see production from Ross III which was expected of him when he was taken ninth overall in 2017. He easily surpassed his previous career-highs of three receptions and 52 receiving yards.

With Antonio Brown ineligible to play in Week 1 and Demaryius Thomas out with an injury, Dorsett stepped up in a major way in the Patriots blowout victory over the Steelers. It was the first multi-touchdown game in Dorsett’s five-year career.

Davis was thrust into a larger role with Jordan Reed once again being forced to miss game action. According to NBC Sports, his touchdown catch was the 63rd of his career, which put him ahead of Shannon Sharpe for the sixth-most ever by a tight end.
