I'll dip into the old days for a bit.
Guys I remember dominating for at least a season....
QB- Steve Young was awesome, but I was always partial to Jeff George. HORRIBLE "real life" QB, but got the job done in fantasyland! Aaron Brooks fell into that mold as well.
RB- Thurman Thomas, Neal Anderson, and a true beat in his day.....DALTON HILLIARD. That guy could do it all, ala Roger Craig. Christian Okoye and Barry Word fizzled quick, but Terry Allen had that one remarkable year, but two favorites of mine then were CHRIS WARREN and DERRICK FENNER. Chris Warren was the best fantasy RB no one knew about.
WR- Andre "bad moon" Rison and the three amigos in Denver (was always partial to Vance Johnson). Haywood Jeffries was a stud, as was Andre Reed. Sterling Sharpe was the greatest of all for fantasy (not named Rice), and two of my other faves were ARKANSAS FRED BARNETT and EDDIE BROWN.
TE- Eric "Green Machine" of the Steelers was dominant, but the consistent guys were WESLEY WALLS and KEITH JACKSON. Mark Chimura was solid until he started banging the babysitter!
I had one team (1994?) that drafted after the first week of the season.
I started out with Steve Young who had an injured thumb (nothing serious), Sterling Sharpe, and took Emmitt Smith in the 4th round (he was holding out, and I believe he returned after week 2.
Add in Chris Warren, and WOOOOOOOO, that team was a doozy! Ah the days of local leagues BEFORE the internet and 20 magazines!
