Justin Herbert's Best Fantasy Seasons
Justin Herbert's best fantasy season was 2021, when the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback scored 369 fantasy points across 17 games, an average of 22 points per game with a best single week of 41. The 2020 campaign is second on his ledger at 329 points, while every season afterward landed lower, so his 2021 line stands as the top of his fantasy record.
How does Justin Herbert's career fantasy record rank season by season?
The table below lists every Justin Herbert season on the record, ranked by total fantasy points. Each row shows his team, games played, season total, per-game average, and best single week.

Why does 2021 stand out as Justin Herbert's peak fantasy year?
The 2021 season separates from everything else on Herbert's record in two ways at once. It holds his highest total, 369 fantasy points, and it also holds his highest per-game figure at 22, so the total is not simply a product of extra games. His best week of 41 that year is also the largest single-game score anywhere in the table.
The gap in character between 2021 and the seasons that follow is easy to see in the weekly column. In 2021 he reached 41 in his best week; no other season on his record contains a week above 38. For a quarterback whose value rests on high-scoring afternoons, 2021 is the year that delivered both the steadiest accumulation and the biggest spike.
How close were Herbert's 2020 and 2021 seasons?
On totals, 2020 lands second at 329 fantasy points, behind only the 369 of the following year. But the per-game column shows how tight the two seasons really were: 22 in 2021 against 21 in 2020. Herbert played 16 games in 2020 and 17 in 2021, so the two-year stretch reads as one sustained peak rather than a single outlier season.
The best weeks tell the same story of a raised level. A 38-point week anchored 2020, and 2021 answered with the 41-point week that remains his career high for fantasy scoring in a single game.
What do the 2022 through 2025 seasons show?
The seasons after the peak cluster in a much lower range. The 2025 season ranks third at 285 points, with 2024 and 2022 tied at 279 points apiece in 17 games each. The 2023 season sits last at 232 points in 14 games.
One wrinkle worth noticing: the per-game average for 2023, at 17, matches the 2025 figure exactly and sits above the 16 that 2024 and 2022 produced. In other words, the last place total for 2023 reflects fewer games rather than a weaker weekly level. Still, none of these seasons approaches the 21-to-22 per-game range of his first two years.
Best weeks in this stretch were modest relative to the peak years: 30 in 2025, 27 in 2022, 29 in 2023, and 26 in 2024. Where the early record contained weeks of 38 and 41, the later record never broke 30.
Which Justin Herbert season should fantasy managers remember?
If one season defines Herbert as a fantasy asset, it is 2021: the top total, the top average, and the top single week all belong to that year. The 2020 season belongs in the same conversation, since its per-game figure nearly matched and its best week was strong in its own right. Everything since has operated at a lower level, which makes the 2020-2021 stretch the benchmark against which any future Herbert season will be measured.
