Fantasy Football MVPs: 10 Last Second Fill-Ins Who Won Games for Owners Sunday

David DanielsNov 22, 2010

These are fantasy football MVP's:

Your usual starter has a bye week.  Your backup was injured the previous game.  You go to waivers and pick and choose; your gut is your only tool.

That attempt to squeeze as many points as possible turns into that player having a career day.  That career day is just enough to push you ahead for the W.

These 10 players did just that for fantasy owners across the country Sunday:

10. Matt Hasselbeck
