Most out-of-nowhere performances... (3 Viewers)

[POTA]

Patrick Jeffers was a good call..Nobody remembers that dude except the guys he helped carry to titles that year.

(raises hand) I feel bad for the guy, IIRC he was pretty badly injured (knee?) in the '00 preseason and I don't think he ever played again. That was a dynasty team too.Frisman Jackson? Week 1, 8-128-1. Rest of season, 24-287-1. Out of football the next year.

Wow, that Jerome Harrison 286 yard game against the Chiefs was nuts. He had a couple other big games at the end of that year also, but only cause he had like 30+ carries each game while averaging like 4 yards a carry.

Another obscure Cleveland RB, Jamel White. He had 216 total yards against the Packers in a game where they got killed. Not sure if he ever even had a halfway decent game outside of that one.

And in very recent memory............Brian Hartline.

Travice Prentice 3 TD game...waiver wire pickup in my first $$ league...got me the win that week with bye week issues.

I'm not sure if anyone else caught this NFL Network Top 10 list when it has aired, but some good names in this list... Top 10 One-Shot Wonders

 

[Peeps Inc.]

Samkon Gado, picked him up and ran him out there the week he had three tds against the falcons in 05

 

[mr roboto]

Seyi Arjitutu (or something like that)

Ramses Barden

 

[Patroclus]

What about single game

Matt Flynn against lions 480 yds, 6 TDs. Set the green bay single game passing and td record. That's the team that usually has that Aaron Rodgers guy

A defensive player would be Wayne Haddix.

He played 41 career games (27 starts), 7 Int, 3 Defensive TDs.

In 1990 he started all 16 games and had all 7 of his interceptions and all 3 of defensive TDs in that season while going to the Pro Bowl and becoming a Tecmo Bowl legend.

 

[Plorfu]

Lamont Jordan with 1025/9 and 70 catches/563/2. I think there was a fantasy hype train before that season but this looks like Brady Anderson's 50 homer season when you look at his career.

Ladell Betts in 2006.

on a related note, in a MOX dynasty league I was matched up vs the Rodgers owner in round2, he had no bench option except Matt Flynn when they played New England on a sunday night, his number:24/37 251 yards 3 tds

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Billy Volek to Drew bennett

That combo won me three championships that year.

 

[Mario Kart]

Kevan Barlow

 

[Phlash]

Kevan Barlow

1300 total yards, 5.1 ypc, 30 receptions... how could he fail?Well, he dropped down to 3.4 ypc the next season. Then 3.3. Then 2.8.Jeez.

 

[ghostguy123]

How could I forget. Bryce Brown going off for a couple 30+ point performaces that helped me get a 1st round bye.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

ETA: Ickey Woods

Ickey Woods met Ronnie Lott in the Super Bowl and it was all downhill from there.

 

[ReggieHammond]

Browns/Ravens WR Michael Jackson

1996: 76-1201-14

Never hit 1000 yards or double digit TDs in any other season.

Few people saw Priest Holmes emergence in KC coming, after having been back up in BAL
