The 25 Biggest Fantasy Football Performances of 2010
The NFL playoffs may be just starting, but fantasy football has come to an end. Let's take a look at the 25 single biggest fantasy performances in 2010.
I am basing the rankings on a fairly standard scoring system of six points for TDs, one point for every 10 yards rushing or receiving, one point for every 25 yards passing, minus two points for interceptions and two points for two-point conversions.
