Most Consistent QB of 2022: Fantasy Points and Per-Game Numbers

How Did the Top of the 2022 Quarterback Board Shake Out?

Josh Allen finished first among 2022 fantasy quarterbacks with 392 points in 16 games, and the per-game column backs him up: his 24 points per game tie Patrick Mahomes, who posted 411 points across 17 games. Jalen Hurts landed second on neither count but third on both, at 374 total points and 23 points per game over 16 games, making the top three remarkably tight when you read the two columns together.

The clearest separation comes at best week. Allen's top game was 35 points and Mahomes matched that same figure, while Hurts peaked at 34. Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals finished fourth among 2022 quarterbacks with 345 points and 22 per game, and his best single week reached 39.

Who Made the Top 10 Fantasy Quarterbacks of 2022?

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | | 1 | Josh Allen | Buffalo Bills | 16 | 392 | 24 | 35 | | 2 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 411 | 24 | 35 | | 3 | Jalen Hurts | Philadelphia Eagles | 16 | 374 | 23 | 34 | | 4 | Joe Burrow | Cincinnati Bengals | 16 | 345 | 22 | 39 | | 5 | Lamar Jackson | Baltimore Ravens | 13 | 234 | 18 | 43 | | 6 | Geno Smith | Seattle Seahawks | 17 | 304 | 18 | 32 | | 7 | Justin Fields | Chicago Bears | 17 | 294 | 17 | 41 | | 8 | Trevor Lawrence | Jacksonville Jaguars | 17 | 290 | 17 | 33 | | 9 | Kirk Cousins | Minnesota Vikings | 17 | 286 | 17 | 30 | | 10 | Daniel Jones | New York Giants | 17 | 285 | 17 | 36 |

Where Did the 2022 Quarterback Drop-Off Sit?

After the fourth spot, the board changes shape. Lamar Jackson sits fifth at 234 points, but he got there in 13 games, and his per-game number of 18 matches Geno Smith's even though Smith's 304 total points came from a full 17-game season. Jackson's best week of 43 is the largest single-game figure anywhere on this list, larger than Allen's, Mahomes's, or Burrow's peak.

From sixth through tenth, the totals cluster: Geno Smith at 304, Justin Fields at 294, Trevor Lawrence at 290, Kirk Cousins at 286, and Daniel Jones at 285 all finished within a narrow band, and Fields, Lawrence, Cousins, and Jones all sit at 17 points per game. That stretch of near-identical lines is the defining feature of the 2022 quarterback board: once you move past the top four, the scoring differences among the rest of the top ten are small enough that individual weeks decided matchups.

Which Best-Week Numbers Stood Out in 2022?

The best-week column splits the top ten into two stories. Lamar Jackson's 43 and Justin Fields's 41 are the two biggest peaks recorded, and both belong to players outside the top four in total points. Joe Burrow's 39 is the highest peak inside the top four, ahead of the matching 35s from Allen and Mahomes.

At the other end, Kirk Cousins's best week of 30 is the lowest peak in the group, and Geno Smith's 32 sits just above it, which pairs with his 18 points per game to paint a profile built on steady accumulation rather than a single eruption. Daniel Jones, at 285 total points, still posted a best week of 36, a larger peak than Cousins, Smith, and Trevor Lawrence managed.
