The All-Time Greatest Fantasy Football Team
You ever wonder what would be the greatest fantasy football team ever? Well wonder no more, here it is in all it’s glory. This isn’t a list of the greatest fantasy players of all-time, but a list of the greatest fantasy seasons from each position. Basic fantasy scoring was used to compile this list and no players were bumped up or omitted based upon my personal preferences…this is the real deal. I love the fact that players from the 50′s,70′s and 80′s made the squad…with Ditka narrowly missing from the 60′s. Here’s the greatest fantasy football team ever:
QB
Starter
Tom Brady 07’
Before Giselle, Brady was a stud…4,800 yards and 50 TD’s passing plus another 2 more rushing as an added bonus.
Backup
Daunte Culpepper 04’
There was a time when Daunte was the greatest QB in fantasy…that time was the year before I drafted him in the first round, otherwise known as the year before he blew out his knee and was never the same. 4,717 yards passing to go along with 406 rushing and 41TD’s in 04’.
(honorable mention (H.M) Marino 84’, Young 98’, Manning 04’)
RB
Starters
Marshall Faulk 00’
For 4-5 years straight every draft started with this guy’s name being called…in 2000 he peaked with 2,189 yards rushing/receiving and 26TD’s (in 14 games.)
Priest Holmes 03’
After Marshall stopped going # one, this guy replaced him and in 03’ he went off for 2,110 yards and 27TD’s.
Emmitt Smith 95’
Emmitt turned his nearly 30 touches a game into 2,148 yards and 25TD’s in 95’.
Backups
Shaun Alexander 05’
Alexander set the record for rushing TD’s in 05’ with 27 and added 1,880 yards on the ground.
OJ Simpson 75’
In 73’ OJ rushed for 2000 yards, in 75’ he was better…2,243 total yards and 23TD’s in only 14 games!
(H.M. Craig 85’ T. Davis 98’, A. Green 03’)
WR
Starters
Randy Moss 07’
98 catches for 1,493 yards and a NFL record 23 receiving TD’s.
Jerry Rice 95’
Not the 87’ season w/ 23 TD’s in 95’ he had 122 receptions for 1,848 yards and 16TD’s.
Isaac Bruce 95’
Before the greatest show on turf Bruce was the man 119 rec’s 1,798 yds & 13TD’s.
Backups
Herman Moore 95’
95’ featured 3 of the best fantasy seasons ever by a WR, Moore went for 123-1,686-14.
Elroy Hirsch 51’
I love that someone makes this team that played in the 50’s…you can’t deny “Crazy Legs” stats, 17TD’s and 1,498 yards in a 12 game season!
(H.M. Clayton 84’, Carter 95’, Owens 01’)
Tight End
Starter
Antonio Gates 05’
The best season ever for a TE, 89-1,101-10.
Backup
Kellen Winslow 80’
He led the NFL with 89 catches, had 9TD’s and set a record for yards by a TE with 1,290.
(H.M. Ditka 61’ Gonzalez 00’)
Kicker
Starter
Jeff Wilkins 03′
Kicking for the greatest show on turf he nailed 39FG’s and 46XP’s plus 4FG’s of 50+.
Backup
Gary Anderson 98’
His 35FG’s, 59XP’s and 2FG’s of 50+ were nice….but his 34 points in weeks 15&16 helped a lot of folks win their leagues.
(H.M. Mosely 84’ Vanderjadt 03’)
Defense/Special Teams
Starter
Bears 85’
11 games under 10 pts allowed w/ 2 shutouts, 54 TO’s, 65 sacks and 7TD’s!
Backup
Raven’s 00’
11 games under 10 pts allowed w/ 4 shutouts, 49 TO’s, 35 sacks and 3TD’s.
(H.M. 91’ Redskins, 91’ Eagles)
