Joe Burrow's Best Fantasy Seasons: Every Year Ranked
Joe Burrow's best fantasy football season was 2024, when he scored 373 fantasy points in 17 games for the Cincinnati Bengals, his highest career total. His 2022 season runs a close second at 345 points, while 2021 sits third at 312. Among his seasons, 2024 stands as the strongest overall because it pairs his top point total with his highest per-game mark alongside 2022.
What Are Joe Burrow's Best Fantasy Seasons, Ranked?
The table below ranks every Joe Burrow season on record by total fantasy points, listing games played, scoring, and the best single week of each year. All five seasons came with the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals | 17 | 373 | 22 | 37 | | 2 | Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals | 16 | 345 | 22 | 39 | | 3 | Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals | 17 | 312 | 18 | 38 | | 4 | Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals | 11 | 174 | 16 | 34 | | 5 | Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals | 11 | 147 | 13 | 28 |
Two seasons sit clearly above the rest. The 2024 campaign leads on total points at 373 across a full 17-game slate, and it ties the 2022 season at 22 points per game, so the ranking at the top rests on volume as much as weekly production. The 2022 year actually owns the single highest week of Burrow's career, a 39-point outburst that tops the 37-point best from 2024.
The 2021 season forms a middle tier on its own: 312 points, 18 per game, and a 38-point peak week that nearly matches the two seasons above it. The drop below that is steep. The 2020 and 2023 years both cover 11 games, and their per-game marks of 16 and 13 sit well under the 22 he reached twice, which is why they trail so far on totals.
Which Season Had the Highest Single Week?
By best week, 2022 wins: 39 points in one game stands above the 38 from 2021 and the 37 from 2024. Notably, the seasons that scored the most total points do not own the most explosive individual performances, which tells you the 2024 and 2022 campaigns were built on sustained weekly output rather than a handful of huge games. The 2020 season posted a 34-point week, and 2023 peaked at 28.
That 2023 peak is the lowest of the five years and matches its last-place per-game figure of 13, making it the weakest season on both a weekly and cumulative basis.
How Do the Per-Game Numbers Compare to the Totals?
The per-game column splits his seasons into three bands: 22 points per game in both 2024 and 2022, 18 in 2021, then 16 and 13 in 2020 and 2023. Because the two top totals carry identical per-game averages, the choice between them comes down to context: 2024 delivered its scoring over 17 games versus 16 in 2022, and that extra week of production is what separates 373 points from 345.
For fantasy managers weighing consistency, the takeaway is that Burrow reached the 22-per-game level twice, something none of his other seasons approached.
