With many leagues having their fantasy playoffs start in Week 14, let’s take a look at the players who starred despite not being owned by many.
Each week, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end are included. In order to be eligible for inclusion, the player must have been owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy football leagues.
This week’s list includes two repeats from last week as well as a quarterback who is beginning to show much-improved play.
Quarterback - Mitchell Trubisky, Bears (244 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 63 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown)
The much-maligned quarterback now has seven touchdown passes and two rushing touchdown in his last three games. Trubisky has shown much improvement after five of his first seven games did not result in any scores.

Running back - Raheem Mostert, 49ers (69 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 2 receptions, 40 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)
Mostert fell just shy of the 25 percent ownership threshold, and that allowed him to be included on the list for a third-straight week. During that three-game stretch, he has 260 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns, five receptions, 70 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.
