With Week 6 now in the books, let’s take a look at the players who fared quite well in fantasy despite being mostly unowned.
To be eligible for the list, the player must have been owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy football leagues entering the week’s games. Each week, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end will be highlighted.
QB - Phillip Rivers, Colts (371 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, -1 rushing yards)
Rivers nearly equaled his touchdown production entering Week 6 on Sunday as he threw just four in the Colts’ first five games. His 371 passing yards were his most since November 18, 2018.
Most players tell you they never read what you write and don’t care if it’s positive or negative. And then there is Philip Rivers. I love this: pic.twitter.com/mH6bXFxMmt

RB - J.D. McKissic, Football Team (41 rushing yards, 6 receptions, 43 receiving yards)
With eight carries in Week 6, McKissic tied a season-high. He will likely be one of the top waiver pickups, especially in PPR-leagues, as he has totaled 19 receptions over the last three games.
These players are tied for 40th in the league with 23 receptions on the year...

Odell Beckham
Mike Evans
Julio Jones
Juju Smith-Schuster
Davante Adams
Dalton Schultz
James Robinson
Nyheim Hines
JD McKissic
RB - Giovani Bernard, Bengals (15 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 3 receptions, 13 receiving yards)
In Week 6, Bernard started the scoring with a two-yard score against the Colts. That was his first rushing touchdown since he found paydirt twice on the ground on September 30, 2018.
Week 7 Waiver Wire Priorities 🔥
— Ben Schragger (@BenSchragg) October 20, 2020
1️⃣ Giovani Bernard (20% rostered)
2️⃣ Boston Scott (19%)
3️⃣ Justin Jackson (59%)
4️⃣ Travis Fulgham (56%)
5️⃣ Tim Patrick (42%)https://t.co/OZzVUlRRMf
WR - Keelan Cole, Jaguars (6 receptions, 143 receiving yards)
In his fourth season, Cole hasn’t matched the success he had in his rookie year but is on pace to better it considerably in 2020. His 143 receiving yards in Week 6 are the second-most he’s ever recorded in 54 career outings.
RBs:
— The Action Network (@ActionNetworkHQ) October 19, 2020
◦ J.D. McKissic - 11% owned
◦ Gus Edwards - 3% owned
WRs:
◦ Travis Fulgham - 31% owned
◦ Keelan Cole - 29% owned
TEs:
◦ Trey Burton - 20% owned
◦ Irv Smith - 9% owned@RandleRant breaks down his top waiver wire pickups heading into Week 7:https://t.co/sqkPD9GwL2
WR - Adam Humphries, Titans (6 receptions, 64 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)
It has been an extremely consistent four games for Humphries in 2020. He has played between 52 to 55 percent of the offensive snaps each outing (according to Pro Football Reference) while catching between 4-6 passes for 41-64 yards.
Tannehill also found the weakness in man coverage after Houston kept going to it in the 2nd half

Eric Murray in the slot vs slot WRs. Murray can give TEs fits, but Hargreaves is a slot CB, made for covering Adam Humphries' slot type
Ryan kept targeting Murray in slot vs Adam
TE - Anthony Firkser, Titans (8 receptions, 113 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)
An ankle injury for Jonnu Smith thrust Firkser into a much larger role and did he ever capitalize. He easily surpassed previous career-highs of four catches and 52 receiving yards on Sunday.
WAIVER WIRE TARGETS - @danbeyeronfox & @SwollenDome have deep dive names like Anthony Firkser & JaMycal Hasty that could save your #FantasyFootball team in week 7!
