With Week 6 now in the books, it’s once again time to look at the fantasy stars for the week who were likely unowned.

In order to be eligible for the list, the player must have been owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy football leagues. Every week, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end are highlighted.

1

Quarterback - Sam Darnold, Jets (338 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 1 rushing yard)

In his first appearance since Week 1 due to a bout with mononucleosis, Darnold played a significant role in the Jets getting their first win on Sunday. His 338 yards passing were just three shies of his career-high of 341.

2

Running back - Chase Edmonds, Cardinals (34 rushing yards, 2 receptions, 33 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)

This is the second straight week that Edmonds has made the list as he has become a larger part of the Arizona offense. After putting up 84 total yards and no touchdowns in the team’s first four games, he has 153 total yards and two touchdowns in the most recent two games.

3

Running back - Mark Walton, Dolphins (32 rushing yards, 5 receptions, 43 receiving yards)

Walton entered Sunday with just eight career catches in his first 17 outings. The second-year pro caught five of his six targets in Week 6 and also had a career-high of 32 rushing yards.

4

Wide receiver - Jaron Brown, Seahawks (3 receptions, 29 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns)

While Will Dissly has become Russell Wilson’s go-to target in the red zone, he left Sunday’s game in the first half with an Achilles injury. Brown was able to take advantage of two red-zone scores, his first two scores on the year.

5

Wide receiver - Auden Tate, Bengals (5 receptions, 91 receiving yards)

With both A.J. Green and John Ross III sidelined with injuries, Tate has now been targeted 34 times in Cincinnati’s last four games. He could have had an even larger day on Sunday if Andy Dalton were able to connect on more than just five of his 12 passes to Tate.

6

Tight end - Ricky Seals-Jones, Browns (3 receptions, 47 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)

For the second time in three weeks, Seals-Jones is the tight end to make the list as he has been able to produce more with David Njoku going on IR. According to the Browns’ website, Seals-Jones was on the field for 47 of Cleveland’s 69 snaps.
