A.Rodgers's Best Fantasy Seasons

What were Aaron Rodgers's best fantasy seasons?

The top of Aaron Rodgers's record is top heavy in a specific way: his two best seasons sit close together, and then the totals step down steadily from there. The 2020 season with the Green Bay Packers holds the number one spot at 383 fantasy points, and 2016, also with the Green Bay Packers, sits just behind at 376. From there the third ranked season, 2021, drops to 333 points, and every season below it is smaller still.

The per game column tells a similar story at the summit. Both 2020 and 2016 produced 24 fantasy points per game, while the third ranked 2021 season came in at 20 per game. In other words, the gap between Rodgers and himself is widest between his peak years and everything that followed.

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | | 1 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 16 | 383 | 24 | 31 | | 2 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 16 | 376 | 24 | 37 | | 3 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 17 | 333 | 20 | 34 | | 4 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 16 | 307 | 19 | 41 | | 5 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 16 | 272 | 17 | 44 | | 6 | Aaron Rodgers | New York Jets | 17 | 253 | 15 | 28 | | 7 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 17 | 235 | 14 | 19 | | 8 | Aaron Rodgers | Pittsburgh Steelers | 17 | 225 | 13 | 26 |

How far ahead was 2020 compared with the rest of the record?

The 2020 season leads the record, and 2016 is the only season anywhere near it. Those two years, both with the Green Bay Packers, both across 16 games, both at 24 points per game, form a clear peak pair. Once you move past them, no other season on the list reaches their level in any column that matters for a season long ranking.

The middle of the record is where the separation shows up most. The 2018 season ranks fourth at 307 points, and the 2019 season ranks fifth at 272. Those are strong seasons in their own right, but each sits well below the 333 of 2021, which itself sits well below the peak pair. The record steps down in an almost unbroken line from rank 3 through rank 8.

One detail worth noticing: the best week column does not follow the same order as the total column. The single biggest week on the entire record, a 44 point game, belongs to the 2019 season, which ranks only fifth in total points. Similarly, the fourth ranked 2018 season contains a 41 point best week, larger than any single week from the number one season. Peak single game scoring and season long production point in different directions on this record.

Which teams appear on the record?

Six of the eight ranked seasons belong to the Green Bay Packers years, including the entire top five. That stretch is the spine of the record: 2020, 2016, 2021, 2018 and 2019 all carry the Green Bay Packers name in the team column.

The two exceptions sit at the bottom of the ranking. The 2024 season with the New York Jets ranks sixth at 253 points in 17 games, and the 2025 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers ranks eighth at 225 points in 17 games. Both are separated from the peak years by a wide margin in the per game column: the New York Jets season averaged 15 per game and the Pittsburgh Steelers season averaged 13, against 24 per game at the top.

What does the per game column add to the ranking?

Total points reward availability, and the per game column strips that away. The 2021, 2024, 2022 and 2025 seasons each span 17 games, while the top two seasons and the 2018 and 2019 seasons span 16. Even with the shorter schedule, the 2020 and 2016 seasons still posted 24 points per game, the highest per game figures on the record. A longer schedule did not help any later season close the gap.

The ordering of the per game column matches the ordering of the total column exactly on this record, from 24 at the top down to 13 at the bottom. That agreement is itself informative: nothing on the record suggests a season that was better week to week than its total rank implies.
