Fantasy football is all about fun, competition and camaraderie, but it's also another way to appreciate the best of the best in the NFL. For more than three decades, ESPN Fantasy has been here with you, celebrating peak performers and magical moments.
Presenting the ESPN Fantasy Football Hall of Fame, which honors the best players and acknowledges the most memorable moments since the advent of our game in 1995, the first year fantasy football was available on ESPN.com.

Class of 2026 Week 4 Inductee: Drew Brees
5,188.92 fantasy points
80,358 passing yards, 573 passing TDs, 25 rushing TDs
Brees was one of fantasy football's most prolific quarterbacks. Entering 2026, his 5,188.92 fantasy points, 80,358 passing yards, 573 passing touchdowns and 25 games of at least 30 fantasy points are all second most, behind only fellow fantasy Hall of Famer Tom Brady in NFL history. The two duked it out for the lead in those four categories over a three-season span from 2018 to 2020, but it was Brees who was first to 5,000 fantasy points and 80,000 passing yards. Brees scored at least 250 fantasy points in 13 consecutive seasons (2006-18), joining Brady as the only players with at least that many, and was a top-five overall scorer in five of them (2008, 2011-13, 2016).
Brees will be inducted Sunday during "Fantasy Focus Countdown" (10 a.m. ET on ESPN2). Tune in each week through Week 16 as we reveal all 18 members of the inaugural class of the ESPN Fantasy Football Hall of Fame.
