00:00As we have found out, every week there are some gems out there, and you can do all of the prep,

00:06and read all the magazines and all the websites and listen to all the podcasts,

00:10but sometimes some guys fall through the cracks. And so each week we are going to look at the

00:14fantasy football dumpster darlings, the that-helped-nobody all-stars, the players who

00:21are barely owned in fantasy football but put up massive points that make us feel oh-so-frustrated

00:26about this fun game that we play. We start off at the quarterback position. Derek Carr,

00:31just 20% owned, put up 22.82 fantasy points. At wide receiver, it's Quinton Johnston, 7% owned,

00:3919.6 fantasy points. I believe this is the second week in a row that Alec Pierce has showed up

00:45for the Indianapolis Colts, 28% owned, so we're getting a little high, but 14.1 fantasy points.

00:52In the backfield, what did we say? All offseason. If there's a New York Jets running back you want,

00:57it's Braylon Allen. Uh, the running back who we had all absolutely heard of before two weeks ago.

01:03Um, 10% owned, 10% very deep leagues, 18.6 fantasy points. At RB2, Antonio Gibson from the

01:14oh-yeah-that-guy pile, 16% owned, he plays for the Patriots now by the way, um, 10.8 fantasy points.

01:21His teammate, Hunter Henry, our tight end, 14.9 fantasy points, 25% owned. Um, and our flex,

01:30Andre Ishavas, I know I'm saying that wrong, 7% owned, he only got two targets,

01:36both of them were in the end zone, 13.7 fantasy points. Uh, our kicker, the number one kicker

01:43in fantasy football this week was owned by exactly nobody. Austin Siebert is in a fantasy,

01:50is in a family league that he's not even owned in. 0% owned, 22 fantasy points. And our defense,

01:57again, what were we all saying at the beginning of the year? You have to get Arizona's defense.

02:02What were we saying going into the week? You have to get Arizona's defense against the LA Rams,

02:06it's just, it's a must, right? 0% owned, 11 fantasy points. Which means, this team,

02:13where Alec Pierce is the highest owned player, the owned percentages of this team

02:21almost add up to 100. I think it's 116 that you get to when you add up how owned all of

02:27these players are combined. It's 147 fantasy points. Fantasy football, again, can be a cruel,

02:34cruel, cruel mistress.
