[David Yudkin]

With Chase's trivia question from yesterday proving to be so popular, here's another one.

Since 1970, there have been 20 RBs that ranked in the Top 10 fantasy RBs once in their careers but never ranked in the Top 25 fantasy RBs in any other season. Who were they?

NOTE: Players that ranked in the Top 10 last year were not included, so Gore, MJD, and Betts are not eligible. Standard scoring, 0 PPR.

Like it matters, dude sucks.I wrote a piece about 1 hit wonder RBs the preseason BEFORE Lamont's breakout (yes it was about him). His career followed the path of many many previous 1 (and sometimes 2) hit wonders in the NFL. That's one reason I have a list of 1 hit wonders buried in my brain somewhere.I'm not saying he'll never be top 25 again, but if he's not, it should come as zero surprise to anyone.
