As we have done every week since the beginning of the NFL season, let’s take at the players who performed well in fantasy despite being mostly unowned.
To be eligible, 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 mentioned.
QB - Kirk Cousins, Vikings (314 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 4 rushing yards, 1 fumble lost)
With Dalvin Cook running wild for Minnesota this season, Cousins entered Week 11 with rather pedestrian stats, especially in the yardage department. His 314 passing yards on Sunday were just the second time this year he eclipsed the 300-yard mark.

RB - Frank Gore, Jets (61 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 2 receptions, 10 receiving yards)
Despite the Jets now being 0-10 and despite Gore easily being the league’s oldest running back at 37, he still receives plenty of carries in the Jets’ backfield. Entering Week 11 with 108 carries, he finally reached the end zone for the first time in the third quarter on Sunday.
Frank Gore has now scored a rushing TD in three decades 🙌
