The Most Consistent Fantasy QB of 2020
Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills was the most consistent fantasy quarterback of 2020, scoring 396 fantasy points over 16 games for 25 points per game, with a best week of 38. On both total scoring and week-to-week output, Allen stands alone at the top of the 2020 quarterback class.
Why Josh Allen Was the Most Consistent Quarterback of 2020
Consistency at quarterback shows up in the per-game column, and that column belongs to Allen. His 25 points per game led the position, and his 396 total points was the highest figure any quarterback posted that year. Aaron Rodgers and Kyler Murray matched his 16 games played, yet both landed at 24 points per game, a step below the standard Allen set.
Allen's best week of 38 also holds up against the field. Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert each hit 38 in a single week, and Patrick Mahomes reached 40, but none of them paired a peak game with the steadiest per-game output in the league. That combination is what separates a consistent season from a streaky one.
The 2020 Quarterback Season Records, Rank by Rank
The table below shows the ten highest-scoring quarterback seasons of 2020, exactly as the record lists them.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Josh Allen | Buffalo Bills | 16 | 396 | 25 | 38 | | 2 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 16 | 383 | 24 | 31 | | 3 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 16 | 379 | 24 | 38 | | 4 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 368 | 23 | 40 | | 5 | Deshaun Watson | Houston Texans | 16 | 367 | 23 | 32 | | 6 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 358 | 22 | 35 | | 7 | Ryan Tannehill | Tennessee Titans | 16 | 338 | 21 | 37 | | 8 | Tom Brady | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 16 | 338 | 21 | 37 | | 9 | Lamar Jackson | Baltimore Ravens | 16 | 331 | 21 | 35 | | 10 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 16 | 329 | 21 | 38 |
Two things jump out of the records. Tannehill of the Tennessee Titans and Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers posted matching lines, each accumulating 338 points with a top showing of 37 in a single week. Second, Patrick Mahomes recorded the single largest game of any quarterback on the board at 40, yet finished fourth in total points, a reminder that one explosive week does not carry a season.
Where the 2020 Quarterback Field Broke Into Tiers
The top of the board is tight. Allen, Rodgers, Murray, Mahomes, and Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans all landed between 396 and 367 points, with per-game figures of 25, 24, 24, 23, and 23. Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks sits just below that group at 358 points and 22 per game.
From Tannehill through Herbert, the bottom four share the same 21 points-per-game figure, and their totals sit close together at 338, 338, 331, and 329. Herbert, for his part, posted a top single-week score of 38, matching the peak that both Allen and Murray reached. The gap that matters in 2020 is the one between Allen's per-game standard and everyone else's.
How to Read Consistency in These Numbers
A consistent fantasy quarterback delivers a high points-per-game figure across a full slate of games, and every passer on this board played 16. That makes the per-game column the cleanest comparison available: Allen at 25, then Rodgers and Murray at 24, Mahomes and Watson at 23, Wilson at 22, and the final four at 21.
The best-week column adds context to the totals. Rodgers posted the lowest peak game among the top five at 31, which means his 383 points came without a single standout explosion, the profile of a passer who arrived every week rather than in bursts. Murray and Herbert show the opposite shape, with 38-point weeks attached to slightly lower season totals.
