With Week 1 of the 2020 NFL regular season in the books, let’s take a look at the players who put up quality games for fantasy football despite being mostly unowned.

As we have done in previous years, each week, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end will be highlighted. To be eligible to be included, the player must have been owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy football leagues.

1

QB - Mitchell Trubisky, Bears (242 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 26 rushing yards)

The oft-scrutinized Trubisky had just one game of three touchdown throws and no interceptions last year. He was able to do so in the first game of 2020. All of his passing scores came in the fourth quarter as the Bears rallied from 17 down to beat the Lions.

2

RB - Malcolm Brown, Rams (79 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 3 receptions, 31 receiving yards)

With the Rams drafting Cam Akers in the second round in 2020 and Darrell Henderson in the third round in 2019, Brown didn’t receive much love in fantasy drafts. The fifth-year back-ended Week 1 with career-highs in carries (18), rushing yards (79), and receiving yards (31) while recording his second multi-score game.
