Kyler Murray's Best Fantasy Football Seasons
Kyler Murray's best fantasy football season came in 2020, when he scored 379 fantasy points for the Arizona Cardinals across 16 games, an average of 24 points per game with a best single-game output of 38. His 2021 season ranks second at 300 points, and his 2024 season ranks third at 295. Among his five recorded seasons, 2020 stands clearly apart as the strongest of his career.
Which Kyler Murray Season Scored the Most Fantasy Points?
The 2020 campaign is the peak of Kyler Murray's fantasy career as a quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. He put up 379 fantasy points in 16 games, and no other season of his comes close to that total. His per-game average of 24 that year is also his highest, so the record does not depend on volume alone: he was both the most productive and the most consistent version of himself, capped by a best week of 38.
Second place belongs to 2021, when Murray reached 300 fantasy points, again over 16 games, averaging 19 per contest with a best week of 34. It is a strong season on its own, though it sits well behind the 2020 total when the two are placed side by side.
Kyler Murray's Fantasy Seasons: The Full Rankings
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |------|--------|------|-------|--------|-----------------|-----------| | 1 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 16 | 379 | 24 | 38 | | 2 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 16 | 300 | 19 | 34 | | 3 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 17 | 295 | 17 | 29 | | 4 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 16 | 279 | 17 | 29 | | 5 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 13 | 192 | 15 | 25 |
Every row in the table comes from the same measured record, so the ordering reflects total fantasy points and nothing else. What the table shows is a career with one towering season and a cluster beneath it: the gap between the top season and everything after it is the defining feature of Murray's fantasy profile.
How Do Murray's Later Seasons Compare to His Peak?
The 2024 season ranks third on the list at 295 fantasy points, and it is the only season in his record played over 17 games. Despite the extra game, his average of 17 points per game and best week of 29 both land at the same marks as his 2019 season, which ranks fourth. That is the most interesting disagreement in his record: the 2024 season outscored 2019 on the strength of one additional game, while the per-game column treats the two seasons as equals.
The 2019 season, his fourth-ranked year, produced 279 fantasy points across 16 games. The 2022 season rounds out the list at 192 fantasy points over 13 games, an average of 15 per game with a best week of 25 — the shortest season and the lowest per-game figure in his record.
What Stands Out in Murray's Single-Game History?
Murray's best weeks scale with his seasons. His career-high single week of 38 came in his career-best 2020 season, his second-best week of 34 came in 2021, and his third-best weeks of 29 came in both 2024 and 2019. Only once does the pattern break: his best week of 25 in 2022 exceeds what the rest of that season's numbers would suggest, a rare bright spot in his shortest campaign.
For fantasy managers, the takeaway from the single-game column is that Murray's spike weeks have always tracked his season-long form. His biggest games arrived in his biggest years, which is the behavior you want from a quarterback you are counting on for a title run.
