Austin Ekeler's Best Fantasy Seasons: Every Year Ranked by Points
Austin Ekeler's best fantasy season was 2022, when he scored 373 fantasy points in 17 games for the Los Angeles Chargers, averaging 22 points per game with a best single week of 37. His 2021 campaign ranks second at 340 points, and 2019 ranks third at 309. The 2022 season is the clear standout of his career to date.
Which Austin Ekeler Season Scored the Most Fantasy Points?
The 2022 season sits alone at the top of Austin Ekeler's record. Across 17 games for the Los Angeles Chargers he piled up 373 fantasy points at 22 per game, with a best week of 37 points. The year combined his best per-game average, his best total, and a career-best week, which is why no other campaign makes a serious claim to the top spot.
Second place belongs to 2021, when Ekeler again appeared in 17 games and finished with 340 points at 20 per game. The single biggest scoring week of his entire record actually came that year, a 42-point outburst that stands above every other week listed here. Third is 2019, a 16-game season worth 309 points at 19 per game with a peak week of 39.

One team fills every row: all six seasons on this list came with the Los Angeles Chargers, so the leaderboard tracks one player's rise and fall within a single uniform.
How Far Apart Were His Best Seasons?
The top three seasons form a tight band. Ekeler's 2022, 2021 and 2019 campaigns each landed between 309 and 373 points, with per-game averages of 19, 20 and 22, so the gap between his best year and his third-best is modest in per-game terms. Below that band the board falls away sharply: 2023 comes in fourth at 185 points and 12 per game, and 2018 sits fifth at 169 points and 11 per game. The distance between third and fourth is the sharpest break on his record.
The 2020 row is the interesting outlier in the ordering. Ranked last on total points at 165, it was also his shortest season at 11 games, yet its per-game average of 15 beats both 2023 and 2018. If that year had stretched to a normal length, its total would likely have challenged the middle of the board. Reading his history by totals alone undersells that season.
What Do the Best Weeks Show?
Ekeler's peak weeks cluster in his best years, but not in perfect order. The 42-point week from 2021 is the biggest of his career, ahead of the 37-point best from his record-setting 2022 and the 39-point high from 2019. His two lowest peak weeks, both 26 points, belong to 2023 and 2018, the two weakest full-length seasons on the list. The 2020 season bucks the pattern again with a 31-point best week despite its last-place total.
Taken together, the three big seasons account for the three biggest single weeks on his record, and no season outside them produced a week above 31. The pattern is consistent: when Ekeler was at his best over a full year, his best Sundays were also at their best.
