Justin Herbert's Best Fantasy Seasons

What were Justin Herbert's best fantasy seasons?

Six seasons of Justin Herbert with the Los Angeles Chargers appear on the record, and they sort into a clear pattern: two towering early years, then a cluster of similar totals afterward. The table below shows every season in order, with games played, total fantasy points, points per game and best single week exactly as measured.

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points per game | Best week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 17 | 369 | 22 | 41 | | 2 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 16 | 329 | 21 | 38 | | 3 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 17 | 285 | 17 | 30 | | 4 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 17 | 279 | 16 | 26 | | 5 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 17 | 279 | 16 | 27 | | 6 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 14 | 232 | 17 | 29 |

The separation at the top is stark. Herbert's 2021 season sits at 369 points, and his 2020 season follows at 329. Third place, the 2025 season at 285 points, sits well behind the second-place mark. Nothing in the middle of the table challenges the top two, and nothing below it comes close to the leader.

How far ahead was 2021 compared with the rest?

The 2021 season leads the record in every column that matters for that year: most games at 17, most points at 369, the highest points per game at 22, and the highest best week at 41. It is the only Herbert season whose best single week topped forty, and one of only two whose best week cleared thirty by a wide step. The gap between his 41-point best week in 2021 and the 30-point best week of 2025 shows how much more explosive that season was at its peak.

The 2020 season is the only other entry that resembles it. At 329 points and 21 points per game, it trails 2021 in both columns, and its best week of 38 also trails the 41 of the following year. Still, it stands apart from everything after it: the third-place season sits at 285 points and 17 per game, closer to the seasons below it than to the two above it.

Where does the per-game column tell a different story than the totals?

Sorting by points per game instead of raw points reshuffles the bottom half. The 2023 season, last in total points at 232, matched the 2025 season's 17 points per game despite playing 14 games rather than 17. On a per-game basis, 2023 belongs alongside 2025 in the tier just below the two peak years.

The 2022 and 2024 seasons are identical on this record: 17 games, 279 points, 16 points per game, with best weeks of 27 and 26 respectively. Their near-twin best weeks are the closest thing to a tiebreak anywhere in the table, and neither year produced a single week that reached the heights of the four seasons around it.

Which Justin Herbert season had the biggest single week?

The 41-point week from the 2021 season is the largest single fantasy week on Herbert's record. The next two largest both come from the two peak years as well: 38 in 2020 and 30 in 2025. After that, the best weeks tighten into a narrow band, from 26 to 29, across the 2024, 2022 and 2023 seasons. The pattern is consistent with the totals: the big weeks belong to the big seasons, and the smaller seasons cluster together at their peak too.

What does this record say for fantasy managers?

For anyone weighing Herbert's track record, the useful read is that his measured peak came early and has not been matched since. Two seasons sit at the top, and four seasons sit in a lower tier between 232 and 285 points. The 17 points per game of the 2025 season is the strongest per-game figure of that lower tier, which makes it the season his managers would point to as the best of the post-peak years. Judged on the whole record, 2021 remains the standard every other Herbert season is measured against.
