DeAndre Hopkins's Best Fantasy Seasons
DeAndre Hopkins's top fantasy campaign was 2018 with the Houston Texans, where he put up 334 points across 16 games, scored 21 per game on average, and peaked with a 39-point week. A pair of additional strong campaigns sit just behind that peak: a 310-point 2017 with the Houston Texans and a 288-point 2020 with the Arizona Cardinals. Across the six seasons on record, 2018 stands clearly apart as his strongest fantasy football year.
What Are DeAndre Hopkins's Highest-Scoring Fantasy Seasons?
The table below shows every DeAndre Hopkins season in our records, ranked by total fantasy points. All figures come straight from the season records: games played, total fantasy points, the per game average, and the best week of each year.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | DeAndre Hopkins | Houston Texans | 16 | 334 | 21 | 39 | | 2 | DeAndre Hopkins | Houston Texans | 16 | 310 | 19 | 36 | | 3 | DeAndre Hopkins | Arizona Cardinals | 16 | 288 | 18 | 30 | | 4 | DeAndre Hopkins | Houston Texans | 16 | 266 | 17 | 31 | | 5 | DeAndre Hopkins | Tennessee Titans | 17 | 224 | 13 | 35 | | 6 | DeAndre Hopkins | Houston Texans | 16 | 197 | 12 | 24 |
How Dominant Was Hopkins's 2018 Season?
The 2018 season is the clear peak of the board. Hopkins put up 334 fantasy points for the Houston Texans that year, and no other season in his records comes close to that total. His per game average of 21 that season is also his highest, so the ranking at the top is not a quirk of schedule: he led both in total scoring and in weekly production. The best single week of his 2018 campaign, 39 points, is the highest single-week figure anywhere on his record.
The gap in character between 2018 and the seasons below it is worth noting. In 2017, again suiting up for the Houston Texans, Hopkins delivered 310 points at 19 per contest, placing second on this list. From there the totals step down through 288 in 2020 and 266 in 2019 before a larger drop to 224 in 2023 and 197 in 2016.
Which Teams Did Hopkins Score Most For?
Four of the six seasons on the board belong to the Houston Texans: 2018, 2017, 2019 and 2016, and those include his top two years. Third place goes to his 288-point campaign for the Arizona Cardinals in 2020, and fifth to the 224 he scored for the Tennessee Titans in 2023. In other words, the Texans years occupy the first, second, fourth and sixth slots on his own list.
The 2023 entry is the only one of the six seasons that ran 17 games; the other five all spanned 16 games. Even with the extra contest, that season sits fifth in total points, because its 13 points per game is well below the averages of the four seasons above it.
Where Do His Best Single Weeks Sit?
The best-week column tells its own story. His three finest single-game showings came in different years and for different clubs: a 39-point burst for the Houston Texans in 2018, a 36-point one for the same franchise in 2017, and a 35-point outing for the Tennessee Titans in 2023. That 35-point week in 2023 is notable because it came in his fifth-ranked season, showing that even a down year by his standards contained a true breakout game.
By contrast, his 2016 and 2020 seasons never produced a week above 30 and 24 respectively, so their places in the lower half of the board reflect consistent scoring without a signature explosion. The 2019 season sits in between, with a best week of 31 alongside its total of 266 points.
