Top 10 Fantasy Football Running Back Seasons
| Year | Player | Points |
| 2006 | LaDainian Tomlinson | 481.1 |
| 2019 | Christian McCaffrey | 471.2 |
| 2003 | Priest Holmes | 445 |
| 2002 | Priest Holmes | 442.7 |
| 2001 | Marshall Faulk | 423.7 |
| 2016 | David Johnson | 407.8 |
| 2009 | Chris Johnson | 392.9 |

| 2017 | Todd Gurley | 383.3 |
Here is where we raise a glass to the old dogs. Six of the top 10 belong to players that played pre-2010. It was a glorious time to play fantasy football, with plug-and-play league winners such as LT, Priest Holmes, and Marshall Faulk. The top five seasons were basically cheat codes. If you rostered any of those players, you were playing in the fantasy championships. It’s noticeable that Barkley is only three years removed from being the top running back in fantasy football and now he is coming into this season healthy. CMC also falls into this category since he is only two years removed and also coming in healthy. Finally, a shoutout to Chris “CJ2K” Johnson for having the best nickname on this list.
