Alvin Kamara's Best Fantasy Seasons: Every Year Ranked
Alvin Kamara's best fantasy football season came in 2020, when he piled up 378 fantasy points for the New Orleans Saints, the highest total of his career. His 2018 season ranks second at 348 points and his 2017 season ranks third at 312. The 2020 campaign stands apart because it paired his top point total with his highest per-game average at 24 and his biggest single week at 56, making it his strongest year in every column at once.
What Were Alvin Kamara's Best Fantasy Seasons?
Kamara has eight recorded seasons, all with the New Orleans Saints, and the table below lists them in order of total fantasy points, along with games played, per-game average and each season's best single week.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 16 | 378 | 24 | 56 | | 2 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 16 | 348 | 22 | 41 | | 3 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 16 | 312 | 20 | 37 | | 4 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 17 | 265 | 16 | 44 | | 5 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 16 | 248 | 16 | 37 | | 6 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 17 | 235 | 14 | 34 | | 7 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 14 | 227 | 16 | 29 | | 8 | Alvin Kamara | New Orleans Saints | 17 | 212 | 12 | 43 |
How Far Ahead Was Kamara's 2020 Season?
The 2020 season is the clear peak of the record. Its 378 points sit above the 2018 total of 348 and the 2017 total of 312, and no other season comes close to those three. From fourth place onward, no season comes close to his 2017 total, so the drop between the third and fourth entries is the sharpest break on the list. The per-game column agrees: 24 points per game in 2020 against 22 in 2018 and 20 in 2017. When the total, the average and the best week all point to the same year, there is no argument left to make for another season.
Which Kamara Season Was Better, 2024 or 2019?
The 2024 and 2019 seasons land close together, with 2024 ahead at 265 points and 2019 at 248. But 2019 got there in 16 games while 2024 needed 17, and the two seasons both averaged 16 points per game. The tiebreaker is the best week: 2024 produced a 44-point game, well above the 37-point best week from 2019, which is why 2024 holds fourth place on the list. Still, 265 points is a long way from the 312 he scored in 2017, showing that his later seasons, while useful, belong to a different tier of production than his early run.
Where Does the Per-Game Column Tell a Different Story?
The per-game averages reorder the bottom half of the list. The 2023 season ranks only seventh on total points with 227, but its 16-point per-game average matches both 2024 and 2019, and it got there in just 14 games, fewer than any other season on the list. Meanwhile the 2022 season ranks last on total points at 212 with a 12-point average, yet its best week of 43 is higher than the best weeks recorded in 2021, 2023, 2017 or 2019. That combination, a low average with a huge spike, marks 2022 as a boom week hiding inside a down year. The 2021 season sits sixth with 235 points, a 14-point average and a best week of 34, its peak neither high nor low.
What Should Fantasy Managers Take From Kamara's Season History?
The record splits cleanly into two tiers: a three-year stretch from 2017 through 2020 when he never scored fewer than 312 points, and everything afterward, when no season topped 265. His single best fantasy week of 56 came in 2020, and his second-best week of 44 came in 2024, proof that the big game never left even as the season totals settled lower. For judging his career in fantasy terms, 2020 is the headline season, 2018 and 2017 sit right behind it, and the later years are best read through the per-game column rather than the raw totals.
