Just thought it was interesting
For whatever reason, there was a massive jump in the number of receptions between 1994 and 1995. A feat that was pretty rare to accomplish was now commonplace.
From 1920-1994, this was the list of receivers with more than 100 receptions
| Year | Receiver | Team | Receptions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1964 | Charley Hennigan | Houston Oilers | 101 |
| 1984 | Art Monk | Washington | 106 |
| 1992 | Sterling Sharpe | Green Bay | 108 |
| 1993 | Sterling Sharpe | Green Bay | 112 |
| 1994 | Terance Mathis | Atlanta | 111 |
| 1994 | Jerry Rice | San Francisco | 112 |
| 1994 | Cris Carter | Minnesota | 122 |
But in 1995, there were 9 players who accomplished this feat.
| Year | Receiver | Team | Receptions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1995 | Herman Moore | Detroit | 123 |
| 1995 | Cris Carter | Minnesota | 122 |
| 1995 | Jerry Rice | San Francisco | 122 |
| 1995 | Isaac Bruce | St. Louis Rams | 119 |
| 1995 | Michael Irvin | Dallas | 111 |
| 1995 | Brett Perriman | Detroit | 108 |
| 1995 | Eric Metcalf | Atlanta | 104 |
| 1995 | Robert Brooks | Green Bay | 102 |
| 1995 | Larry Centers | Arizona | 101 |
Of these 9 players, two of them were on the Lions. Prior to Calvin Johnson's 2012 season, the top 2 seasons in Lions franchise history in terms of receptions both occurred in 1995.
Now some might argue that the e

Shots fired.
Three 8-8 seasons, and has secured at least an 8-8-1 record this year.
He's likely to shatter the record set by Randy Moss in 2007 (385.3 pts) Antonio Brown in 2015 (388.2 pts) Jerry Rice in 1995 (414 pts) in the next 3 games (including the additional game starting this season).
The only cases where a WR was the highest scoring player in a season since 1970 (in PPR)?
-
Antonio Brown in 2014 and 2015.
-
Andre Johnson in 2008.
-
Jerry Rice in 1993, 1987, and 1986.
That's it.
And now Kupp in 2021 so far. White Rice is having an amazing season, and goddamn I wish I had him in any of my leagues lmao.
P.S - Jerry Rice was outrageous.
P.S.S (or P.P.S?): Source for highest fantasy seasons by WRs. Though this list is only from 1997, silly CBS. It doesn't include a bunch of seasons by Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and others. This is a better list, but for standard scoring.
Edit: Some corrections. My title is wrong. It's not the 7th highest in history, but since 1997. Oops.
Edit 2: Correction: Highest fantasy season for WR in PPR is Jerry Rice with 414 points in 1995. Only reason he wasn't #1 that year was because Emmitt Smith had 414.8 points. Simply absurd.
The Tennessee Titans have now used an 89 players this season, by far an NFL record (next closest was the infamously injured 2020 49ers and the 2019 Dolphins at 84 each). The crazy thing? The Titans are actually getting pretty healthy now relative to the average NFL team at this point in the season. But just because they are getting healthy now doesn't change the fact that the Tennessee Titans have had an absolutely absurd amount of injuries that they have had to overcome this season. I posted this list at about the halfway point in the season and decided I should re-post an updated version of the list with one narrative in mind: Mike Vrabel is the clear choice for COTY. This list has somehow managed to get more ridiculous since it was first posted. At the end of the post I have written the argument for why Mike Vrabel should be the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year.
