Believe it or not, fantasy football actually pre-dates the internet, with origins that go all the way back to the 1960s.

For the purposes of this list, we will not be tracking points into the 1960s.

The internet brought fantasy football to the masses in the late 90s. So, for a nice round number, this list will track the greatest fantasy seasons since 2000. And because quarterbacks have dominated this list since 2011, we'll use points per reception scoring to get some other positions in here. You can catch the greatest QB fantasy seasons of all-time here.

These are the top 15 PPR fantasy football seasons of all time, via Pro Football Reference.
