As is done every week, let’s take a look at the players from Week 13 who had productive performances despite being mostly unowned in fantasy football leagues.
In order for someone to be eligible to be a part of this list, they must have been owned in less than 25 percent of ESPN fantasy football leagues. Every week, one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, and one tight end are included.
Two players who found their way on the Week 12 list also made it for Week 13.
Quarterback - Ryan Fitzpatrick, Dolphins (365 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 2 rushing yards)
In the past two games, Fitzpatrick has now accounted for six touchdowns (five passing, one rushing). His 365 passing yards are a season-high since Week 10 of last year while with the Buccaneers.
Jalen Mills had the second-worst grade among 75 eligible cornerbacks this week, per PFF.

Ryan Fitzpatrick had a 156.3 QB rating throwing it to his area. #Eagles
Running back - Raheem Mostert, 49ers (146 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 2 receptions, 8 receiving yards)
For the second straight week, Mostert makes the list and is surely to be among the most-added players over the next few days. The 146 rushing yards he finished with easily surpassed his previous career-high of 87.
Highest YPC among RBs with 90+ carries since the start of 2018:

1. Raheem Mostert 6.3
2. Devin Singletary 5.6
3. Jordan Wilkins 5.6
4. Rashaad Penny 5.3
5. Matt Breida 5.2
6. Gus Edwards 5.2
7. Duke Johnson 5.1
8. Phillip Lindsay 5.1
9. Nick Chubb 5.0
10. Christian McCaffrey 5.0
Running back - Patrick Laird, Dolphins (5 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 4 receptions, 43 receiving yards. 1 2-point conversion)
Laird, an undrafred rookie, makes the list despite averaging 0.5 yards per carry (five yards on 10 carries). His one-yard score early in the fourth quarter gave Miami a lead they never relinquished.

Wide receiver - Cole Beasley, Bills (6 receptions, 110 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)
Playing against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, a team he played for from 2012-18, Beasley put together arguably the most impressive outing of his career and earns his way onto this list for the second straight week. He finished just two yards shy of tying his career-high of 112 on November 8, 2015.
Good stuff from @Cover_1_. Inside the passing concept that has helped the Josh Allen to Cole Beasley connection come alive with some input from June Jones, who ran the concept with Jim Kelly in the USFL @TheAthleticBUF https://t.co/qyJaVWWDR4

Wide receiver - Anthony Miller, Bears (9 receptions, 140 receiving yards)
Also playing on Thanksgiving, Miller (second round pick in 2018) put together career-best efforts in receptions and receiving yards. He now has 21 catches in Chicago’s last three games. He is included on Sports Illustrated’s early Week 14 fantasy football waiver wire.
Anthony Miller on his confidence: “It’s always to the roof, man. I feel like I’m always open and I can always make the play, always make the catch. So my confidence is always up there.” #Bears

Tight end - Tyler Higbee, Rams (7 receptions, 107 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown)
With Gerald Everett out due to injury, Higbee took advantage as he became a larger part of the offense. Prior to Week 13, his season-high yardage total was 47.
