The History of Fantasy
I was the highest scoring fantasy player in .5ppr in 2009. This season, I joined an exclusive club that only 7 other players in NFL history have reached.
Who is Chris Johnson?
I had the most rushing yards of any WR in the NFL
Who is Deebo Samuel? (159 yards)
I had the most receptions out of the TE position in 2019
Who is Travis Kelce (97)
Despite being a consistent fantasy performer over the years, you would be surprised to learn that my actual first name is John
Who is Matthew Stafford?
My team supported a WR1, a TE1, an RB1, and an RB2 in PPR. However, we did not make the playoffs.
Who are the Los Angeles Chargers?
I have the most points for a TE in a fantasy season in the last 20 years. In fact, I scored almost 100 more points than the leading TE the year after me
Who is Rob Gronkowski? (285, 2011)
I finished 2nd in my position in week 1. I finished 32nd in my position overall.
Who is TJ Hockenson?
I led the league in passer rating for QBs, despite playing about half the season
Who is Ryan Tannehill? (117.5)
This state is the home of the most starting NFL QBs going into the 2020 NFL season
California (Goff, Rodgers, Brady, Allen, Darnold, and Carr)
We had the lowest top scorer on a team in fantasy in 2019
Who are the Washington New Names?
I famously posed in a wedding dress with my head coach after he drafted me. I paid him back by leading the league in rushing my first season on a different team
Who is Ricky Williams?
Despite being the 12th receiver off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft, I finished as the 2nd highest rookie in terms of fantasy points.
Who is Terry McLaurin?
I had the most rushing yards in a single game in 2019. Despite this, I did not score a touchdown that game
Who is Leonard Fournette? (225)
A colossal fantasy bust in 2019, I finished with 5x as many tackles as TDs
Who is OJ Howard?
Despite making the playoffs last year, our offensive player with the highest ADP is going as the RB29. Funnily enough, that RB was not our highest scorer out of the backfield last season.
Who are the New England Patriots?
I was the first UDFA to lead the NFL in rushing yards with 1,555 yards in 2001. Funnily enough, I increased my yardage and almost tripled my TDs the following season
Who is Priest Holmes?
The number of rookie QBs who started games in 2019
What is 9? (Murray, Jones, Haskins, Minshew, Lock, Grier, Finley, Blough, Hodges)
I am a WR who had had the highest scoring game in 2019. This game accounted for almost 50% of my total points for the season
Who is Will Fuller IV? (46.7)
The year in which the first fantasy football draft was held
1963
Our QB is very back and forth year to year. He finished as the QB24 in 2016 and QB23 in 2018, but finished as the QB5 in 2017 and QB10 in 2019. We made some puzzling choices in the NFL Draft.
Who are the Philadelphia Eagles?
I was the 2nd leading QB in fantasy points in 2007. While this might sound unimpressive, I was the only player to finish within 100 points of the GOAT
Who is Tony Romo?
I had the highest passer rating in the NFL when targeted, with 146.6 (min 25 targets)
Who is Mecole Hardman?
After the reigning champ missed several games in 2019, I now have the longest streak of being a QB1 in fantasy
Who is Russell Wilson? (2012-Present)
I was briefly mentioned in the Netflix show "Last Chance U" the year we won the JUCO National Championship. That was the first of 3 collegiate teams I would play for before becoming a fan favorite in the NFL.
Who is Gardner Minshew?
Our leading receiver in 2019 is the epitome of close but no cigar. He has 1 season above 1,000 yards, but 3 seasons above 995 yards. He also finished 520 yards ahead of our #2 receiver
Who are the Green Bay Packers?
