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 that fantasy football was available on ESPN.com.

Class of 2026 Week 9 Inductee: Clinton Portis' 5-TD game
Clinton Portis, Dec. 7, 2003 (Week 14)
57.4 fantasy points
218 rushing yards, 5 rushing TDs; 2 receptions, 36 receiving yards
A 300-point fantasy running back in each of his first two NFL seasons, Portis' signature game was this Week 14 meeting between his Broncos and the first-place Chiefs, which saw him score the fifth-most fantasy points during the ESPN era (57.4). He wore down the Chiefs' defense, totaling 188 yards from scrimmage and three of his five rushing touchdowns (from 59, 28 and 53 yards out) after halftime, as the Broncos steamrolled to a 45-27 victory that kept them in the wild-card race. Best yet: This game came during the opening week of many fantasy football leagues' playoffs, when the NFL schedule was 17 weeks long.
Portis will be inducted Sunday during "Fantasy Focus Countdown" (10 a.m. ET on ESP2). 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.
