Walter Payton? Jim Brown? Barry? LT? Emmitt? - No, Priest Holmes

NFL Football Earl Campbell factoid - Earl had an NFL record setting four 200 yard games in one season with Houston in 1980.
So where is Priest Holmes name on that list?
Does not matter, because we are talking Fantasy Football.
Priest had the number 3 and 4 fantasy seasons.
First, number 3.
Holmes, who was once stuck behind Errict Rhett on the depth chart in Baltimore, exploded onto the scene as a member of the Chiefs and would surpass Faulk as the top overall player in fantasy football. He thrived in the offensive attack of head coach Dick Vermeil with a career-best 1,615 rushing yards, 672 receiving yards and 24 total touchdowns in 2002, all of which totaled 373 points. source
Now, number 4.
Holmes produced one heck of an encore to his 2002 season, as he recorded 2,110 all-purpose yards and what was an NFL-record 27 touchdowns for a total of 373 points. He had 100-plus all-purpose yards 13 times and scored multiple touchdowns in 10 contests, but this would be Holmes’ final full season. Knee and neck injuries limited him to 15 games in 2004-05, and he missed all of 2006.
So there it is, Priest Holmes with 2 of the best 4 seasons of Fantasy Football of all time!
