Clinton Portis was an excellent running back for both the Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins during the 2000s, having six 1,000-yard seasons.

His best game, however, came in Denver when they took on the Kansas City Chiefs back in 2003 as he gained 57.4 PPR points in a 45-27 demolition.

Portis had five touchdowns and 254 all-purpose yards as he cemented his place amongst the best backs in the league that year.

#2 - Tyreek Hill, WR - 57.9 Points

The wide receiver with the most PPR fantasy points in history is current Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill. Back when Hill was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, he went ballistic against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.

Hill had 13 receptions for 269 yards and three touchdowns as he had a telepathic connection with Patrick Mahomes. His 57.9 PPR points are the most by a receiver in NFL history and will take some topping.
