With Week 4 in the books, let’s once again look at the top players who were mostly unowned.

In order 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.

Two players from the Packers found their way onto the list after their Monday Night Football performance. They supplanted Ke’Shawn Vaughn and O.J. Howard, the latter of which will now miss the season with a torn Achilles.

1

Quarterback - Teddy Bridgewater, Panthers (276 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 32 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown)

Prior to Bridgewater’s 18-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter on Sunday was his first score on the ground since December 20, 2015. It was also his first time this season that he had multiple passing touchdowns.

2

Running back - Jamaal Williams, Packers (10 rushing yards, 8 receptions, 95 receiving yards)

It wasn’t a great game on the ground for Williams (1.25 yards per carry), but Rodgers looked for him often via the air. In the previous two games, he had just one reception.

3

Running back - Reggie Bonnafon, Panthers (53 rushing yards, 2 receptions, 18 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)

With Christian McCaffrey out with injury, Mike Davis has gotten the bulk of playing time at running back, but Bonnafon saw the field much more often in Week 4. His three-yard receiving touchdown gave the Panthers a 21-7 lead at the two-minute warning on Sunday.

4

Wide receiver - Tim Patrick, Broncos (6 receptions, 113 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)

It was a career day for the third-year receiver as he set a new career-best with his 113 receiving yards and recorded his third receiving touchdown. It was the second-straight week that Patrick scored.

5

Wide receiver - Tre’Quan Smith, Saints (4 receptions, 54 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns)

Smith has seen more targets with Michael Thomas out seeing 17 over the past three weeks. He caught all four of his targets on Sunday, including his first two touchdowns of the year which both came late in the second quarter.

6

Tight end - Robert Tonyan, Packers (6 receptions, 98 receiving yards, 3 receiving touchdowns)

Tonyan will likely be one of the more sought-after players on the waiver wire now that he has three straight games with a touchdown including an incredible three on Monday night. According to Yahoo, he is now tied with Mike Evans for the NFL lead with five receiving scores.
