Remember when people were convinced that Tom Brady was washed after two decades with the New England Patriots? That him joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was Joe Namath with the Los Angeles Rams?

Someone forgot to tell The Golden Boy, because Brady went out and led the Buccaneers to a dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV in 2020 before having one of the best statistical seasons of his career in 2021. Brady led the league in pass attempts, completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns and averaged 312.7 yards per game on the way to finishing third in fantasy points among quarterbacks.

It was rather a big year for the position.

Todd Gurley didn't have a long career in the NFL—he played just six seasons in the league.

But when Gurley was at his best, he was a phenomenal talent. And 2017 was about as good as it got for him in the pros.

It marked the first of two straight seasons when Gurley led the NFL in rushing touchdowns. And total touchdowns. His 2,093 total yards in 2017 also topped the league. And over that two-year span, Gurley caught 123 passes.

Just two running backs averaged 20 PPR points per game that season. Only one averaged 25.

Three guesses who that was.

Tony Gonzalez helped change the way the tight end position is viewed—both in the NFL and fantasy football.

Yes, there had been tight ends before Gonzalez who could stretch the field and present matchup nightmares for opposing defenses. There was another at the time in Antonio Gates.

But Gonzalez was just—unstoppable. By the time the 2004 season rolled around, Gonzalez had already been named to a handful of Pro Bowls. But that year with the Chiefs may have been the high point of a 17-year career.

That season, Gonzalez topped 100 receptions for the only time in his career. He set a career-high in receiving yards. And his 12.3 yards per touch topped not only all tight ends but all qualifying players.

We are well and truly in a golden age of wide receivers in the NFL—and it's not just because of all the bling Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings wears on the field.

Jefferson has been a force from the moment he stepped on an NFL field—as a rookie his 1,400 receiving yards were an NFL record for a first-year player. And that was Jefferson just getting warmed up.

By his third season, Jefferson was a Terminator—he topped the league in catches and yards while averaging an NFL-high 106.4 yards per game.

Only two wideouts averaged 20 PPR points that year—and no one averaged more.

Le'Veon Bell may well be remembered more for how his career ended than how it began—after holding out the entire 2018 season, Bell was never able to recapture the form that saw him top 1,250 rushing yards three times in four years before that.

2014 was the first of those big years—and the best.

Bell averaged 4.7 yards per carry, caught 83 passes, eclipsed 2,200 total yards and found the end zone 11 times on the way to leading all running backs with over 23 PPR points per game.

And with an ADP in Round 3 in a time when running backs dominated the early rounds, that breakout season won quite a few folks a little cabbage.

There have been quite a few dominant fantasy tight ends over the years, from Antonio Gates to Tony Gonzalez to Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski.

At the heights of his dominance, Travis Kelce was as good as any of them—and given his consistency and longevity you can argue none are better.

Kelce's 2020 rampage came smack in the middle of a seven-year streak of 1,000-yard seasons. It was the second time in his career he caught 100 passes and scored double-digit touchdowns. He was the only tight end to score 300 PPR points and would have finished fourth that year among wide receivers.

Taylor's bae was cooking.

The 2018 draft class was loaded at quarterback. Three of the four signal-callers taken in the top-10 that year are still starting in the NFL. One just won the Super Bowl.

That's the only box Josh Allen hasn't checked to this point in his career, but he's the unquestioned No. 1 quarterback in fantasy.

Allen's 2021 season wasn't his best passing, although he topped 4,400 passing yards and topped 35 touchdown passes for the second consecutive year. His six rushing scores are almost pedestrian by his recent standards. But he also eclipsed 750 yards on the ground and was the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy by more than 20 points.

Ahman Green played a dozen seasons in the NFL. But he'll always be best-known for a five-year span at the turn of the century with the Green Bay Packers. And in 2003, Green went on a rampage that would make a kaiju blush.

That season, Green racked up a whopping 405 touches. He rushed for almost 1,900 yards. Averaged 5.3 yards per carry. Piled up 2,250 total yards. And found the end zone 20 times.

It was the biggest of five straight 1,000-yard campaigns on the ground for Green. And the wildest part about all of those jaw-dropping stats?

Not one of those categories led the league—and Green was third in PPR points at his position.

Marvin Harrison spent 13 years in the NFL—all in Indianapolis. He topped 1,000 receiving yards and made the Pro Bowl eight times—in a row. He reached double digits in touchdowns eight times—in a row.

The 1999 season was the first of those 1,000-yard campaigns—and one of his best.

Playing with a second-year quarterback named Peyton Something, Harrison was targeted an NFL-high 193 times. He sailed past 100 catches, paced the league in receiving yards for the first time and found the end zone a dozen times.

Harrison was the only wide receiver that year to hit 350 PPR points, and he out-scored the No. 2 wideout that year by almost 40 points.

A pretty good argument can be made that LaDainian Tomlinson is the most dominant player in fantasy football history. For quite a few years, he was certainly the most coveted.

2002 was Tomlinson's second season in the pros, and while he had a solid rookie year with over 1,600 total yards, it was Year 2 when we truly saw the damage Tomlinson could do in fantasy leagues.

Tomlinson saw a career-high 451 touches that year—an average of over 28 per game. He was targeted over 100 times through the air. Tomlinson amassed a whopping 2,172 total yards that year, scored 15 touchdowns and finished second in PPR points at his position.

You might see his name again before this is all said and done. Just saying.
