Starting with Week 1 of the 1963 season and working my way through the present day, I will be posting the weekly high point scorers in fantasy football, or Player of the Week.
1963 Player of the Week - Week 5 (October 5-6)
Against the Minnesota Vikings on October 6, 1963, at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota, Randle had 6 receptions and 159 receiving yards with 3 receiving touchdowns. His touchdown receptions were 21 yards, 68 yards and 15 yards with the first two from Charley Johnson and the third one from Buddy Humphrey.
This is Randle’s first Player of the Week Award.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Frank Ryan, QB, Cleveland Browns (35.32 points); Len Dawson, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (34.20 points); Art Graham, SE, Boston Patriots (33.60 points); Buddy Dial, FL, Pittsburgh Steelers (33.40 points).
NOTE: In 1963, the American Football League (AFL) started a week earlier than the National Football League (NFL). So the Player of the Week for Week 1 is only using AFL games played on September 7-8. The Week 2 Player of the Week will be for games played on September 14-15, that is Week 2 of the AFL season and Week 1 of the NFL season. All fantasy point totals are point per reception. All stats courtesy of Pro Football Reference.
