With Week 7 now in the books after the Rams’ Monday Night Football victory over the Bears, let’s again take a look at the weekly fantasy stars who were mostly unowned.
To be eligible for this 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 spotlighted.
QB - Baker Mayfield, Browns (297 passing yards, 5 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, -1 rushing yards)
Amazingly, Mayfield made this list after throwing an interception on his first pass attempt and not completing a single pass in the first quarter. The third-year quarterback set a new career-high with five touchdown throws, three of which came in the fourth quarter.

RB - Jeff Wilson Jr., 49ers (112 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns, 2 receptions, 8 receiving yards)
With Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman both shelved with injury, Wilson Jr. easily saw his most action and recorded a touchdown in each of the first three quarters on Sunday. Unfortunately, he also suffered a high ankle sprain, which will keep him out at minimum for the next three games, according to ESPN.
