As we approach Halloween I thought it would be fun to go through and find some of the most notable fantasy football performances in the last 30 years. This is obviously going to mean notable performances in general but I will add the PPR score for us nerds.
QB
The 40’s Club
2019- Jimmy Garoppolo vs Arizona Cardinals – 425 yards / 4 TD’s = 44 Points
2021– Tom Brady vs New Orleans Saints – 375 yards / 4 TD’s = 41 points
The 30’s Club
2010- David Garrard vs Dallas Cowboys – 260 yards / 4 TD’s = 34 points
2021- Mike White- vs Cincinnati Bengals – 405 yards / 3 TD’s = 38 points
2010- Matthew Stafford vs Washington Redskins – 212 yards / 4 TD’s = 33 points
RB
The 30’s Club
1994- Edgar Bennet vs Chicago Bears – 105 rushing yards / 1 catch for 13 receiving yards / 2 rushing TD’s / 1 receiving TD = 36 points
The 20’s Club
1993- Emmit Smith vs Philadelphia Eagles – 237 rushing yard / TD = 29 points
2010- Jamaal Charles vs Buffalo Bills – 170 rushing yards / 4 catches for 60 receiving yards = 27 points
2022- Nick Chubb vs Cincinnati Bengals – 101 rushing yards / 1 catch / 2 TD’s = 25 points
WR
The 30’s Club
2004- David Givens vs Pittsburgh Steelers – 8 catches for 101 yards / 2 TD’s = 30 points
2010- Calvin Johnson(Megatron) vs Washington Redskins – 9 catches for 101 yards / 3 TD’s = 37 points
*This one is more fun than a monster performance but on Halloween 2004 Terrell Owens mocked Ray Lewis doing his dance on the field then went out to put up 8 catches for 100 yards and a TD*
TE
One lousy performance is all I can muster for this position. It was a beast who did it, however.
2010- Antonio Gates vs Tennessee Titans – 5 catches for 123 yards / 1 TD = 23 points
