As is done after each week in the NFL, let’s take a look at the players who performed well despite being mostly unowned in fantasy football leagues.
In order to be eligible to be included here, the player must have been owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy football leagues. Every week, there is one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end that will be mentioned.
Week 10 starts with a quarterback that is notorious for turning the ball over since entering the league but has now gone two straight games without doing so.
QB - Daniel Jones, Giants (244 passing yards, 64 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown)
In his first 20 career starts, Jones had just one game in which he did not turn the ball over. In his following two starts, he has zero turnovers while guiding the Giants to their first two-game winning streak since Weeks 3-4 of last year.

RB - Rex Burkhead, Patriots (31 rushing yards, 4 receptions, 35 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns)
For the second consecutive week, Burkhead finds his way onto this list. He scored twice as a receiver in the second quarter, the second of which came on a 24-yard pass from receiver Jacobi Meyers.
