Still, he's available in about one-in-four ESPN leagues, so it's worth checking to see if you still have a chance at adding him to your roster.

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN fantasy ownership: 7.9%

Week 10 stats: Four receptions, 42 receiving yards 8.2 fantasy points

One thing to know: Hunter Renfrow had a mild day on Sunday, but has still been seeing increased usage in the Raiders offense in recent weeks. If you need a potential breakout player before the start of the postseason, Renfrow is a fun lottery ticket to add to your roster.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 60.7%

Week 10 stats: Four receptions, 80 receiving yards, one touchdown 18 fantasy points

One thing to know: Marquise Brown is still working himself back into rhythm with the Ravens offense, but put up a strong showing on Sunday against the Bengals. If his previous owner dropped him due to his mid-season absence, it might be worth picking him up before he has another huge day.

David Berding-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN fantasy ownership: 35.2%

Week 10 stats: Four receptions, 14 receiving yards, two touchdowns 19.4 fantasy points

One thing to know: Kyle Rudolph is an important target for Kirk Cousins, especially in the red zone, with wide receiver Adam Thielen currently sidelined. As a result, Rudolph has scored three touchdowns over the past two games, and could add more against the Broncos this week.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 74.2%

Week 10 stats: Eight receptions, 68 receiving yards 14.8 fantasy points

One thing to know: There's a lot of problems with the Rams offense, but tight end Gerald Everett is not one of them, with eight catches on 12 targets in this Sunday's loss to the Steelers. If Los Angeles can find a way to start scoring again, Everett could become an even better value.
