With Week 3 now in the books, let’s take a look at the players who excelled in fantasy football despite being mostly 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. Each week, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end will be highlighted.

1

QB - Ryan Fitzpatrick, Dolphins (160 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 38 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 1 reception)

For the second straight week, Fitzpatrick is the quarterback for this list. According to the Dolphins’ team website, he set a franchise single-game record for completion percentage in Week 3 (18-20).

2

RB - Rex Burkhead, Patriots (49 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 7 receptions, 49 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)

After totaling just four total touchdowns in the two previous seasons, Burkhead found paydirt three times in Week 3. Now in his eighth season, it was the first time he had three scores in one game.
