With week 5 now in the books after Tuesday night’s Bills/Titans game, let’s look at the players who had successful fantasy games despite being 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 highlighted.
We start with a quarterback who has become a familiar face for this list.
QB - Ryan Fitzpatrick, Dolphins (350 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 16 rushing yards)
With Tua Tagovailoa looking on Miami’s bench, fantasy players have been slow to pick up Fitzpatrick, who makes this list for the third time in the first five weeks. It was the third time.

RB - T.J. Yeldon, Bills (52 rushing yards, 1 reception, 22 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)
In a blowout loss on Tuesday, Yeldon received most of his touches in the fourth quarter. His reception of the year also turned out to be his first score early in the fourth quarter.
