Corey Dillon
Introduction to these player comments
In honor of Corey Dillon's years of meritorious service to a horrible team, I hereby propose that we start handing out The Corey Dillon Award [TM], awarded each year to the outstanding fantasy performer on a team that is 6-10 or worse. Ironically, Dillon himself has never won a Dillon award. Here are the past winners: Year Winner Team Record VBD ------------------------------------------- 1970 Marlin Briscoe buf 3-10-1 89 1971 Floyd Little den 4- 9-1 62 1972 Floyd Little den 5- 9-0 83 1973 Donny Anderson stl 4- 9-1 70 1974 Don Woods sdg 5- 9-0 122 1975 John Riggins nyj 3-11-0 85 1976 O.J.

Maybe this will be the year. For fun, here are the top fantasy performances by players on double-digit loss teams (or, for seasons with less than 16 games, the equivalent of double-digit losses):
