The Biggest Single-Week Fantasy Performances of 2019

Aaron Jones of the Green Bay Packers produced the biggest single-week fantasy performance of 2019, a 49-point week during a season in which he scored 315 fantasy points in total. Christian McCaffrey of the Carolina Panthers came closest to matching him with a best week of 48 on his way to 469 points, and no other player in the 2019 top ten cracked 45 in a single week. Judged by peak single-week output, 2019 belonged to Jones by the slimmest of margins.

Who Had the Biggest Single Fantasy Week in 2019?

Aaron Jones owns the top spot. His best week of 49 points edges out Christian McCaffrey's 48, and that pairing tells the story of the season's peak scoring: two running backs separated from everyone else by a wide gap, with the next-best single week sitting at 45. Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers holds that third-place mark, making him the highest wide receiver on the board and the only pass catcher within striking distance of the two leaders.

The 44-point tier is where the leaderboard gets crowded. Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, Keenan Allen of the Los Angeles Chargers, and Stefon Diggs of the Minnesota Vikings all reached 44 in their best week, a four-way knot that underscores how quickly the field compressed once you move past the top three.

The Top 10 Single-Week Fantasy Scores of 2019, Ranked

The table below ranks the 2019 leaders by best single week, with each player's season totals shown alongside. Ranking by peak week rather than season points produces a very different order than a yearlong scoring list would: Christian McCaffrey, the season scoring leader at 469 points, ranks second here, while Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson, who posted the two biggest quarterback season totals on the board, sit near the bottom of the single-week table.

| Best Week | Player | Team | Position | Games | Season Points | Points Per Game | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 49 | Aaron Jones | Green Bay Packers | RB | 16 | 315 | 20 | | 48 | Christian McCaffrey | Carolina Panthers | RB | 16 | 469 | 29 | | 45 | Mike Evans | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | WR | 14 | 231 | 16 | | 44 | Saquon Barkley | New York Giants | RB | 16 | 244 | 15 | | 44 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | QB | 16 | 272 | 17 | | 44 | Keenan Allen | Los Angeles Chargers | WR | 16 | 262 | 16 | | 44 | Stefon Diggs | Minnesota Vikings | WR | 16 | 214 | 13 | | 42 | Deshaun Watson | Houston Texans | QB | 16 | 319 | 20 | | 41 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | QB | 16 | 327 | 20 | | 41 | Michael Thomas | New Orleans Saints | WR | 16 | 375 | 23 |

What Separates the Peak Weeks From the Season Totals

The gap between the two columns is the most interesting feature of 2019. Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints scored 375 points, the second-largest season total on the board, yet his best week of 41 ranks last among these ten players. His season was built on week-after-week production at 23 points per game rather than on any single explosion. Russell Wilson tells a similar story: 327 points and 20 per game, but a peak of only 41.

Mike Evans is the inverse case. His 231-point season ranks among the smallest totals here, and he played 14 games, fewer than anyone else on the list, yet his 45-point best week stands third. Aaron Jones splits the difference: a 315-point season with 20 per game, capped by the 49-point week that tops the board.

The quarterback picture is also worth a look. Aaron Rodgers reached 44 in his best week, while Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson, both of whom outscored Rodgers for the season, topped out at 42 and 41. Among wide receivers, Evans led in peak week, Allen and Diggs matched the 44-point tier, and Thomas finished behind all of them in best week despite the best season total of the group.
