Most Consistent QB of 2023: The Full Fantasy Top 10
Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills was the most consistent quarterback of the 2023 fantasy season, finishing first at the position with 387 fantasy points over 17 games, at 23 points per game, with a best week of 40. Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys followed at 357 and 339 fantasy points. On a per-game basis, only Allen sat alone above every other qualifier, which makes him the clear standard for the season.
Who was the most consistent quarterback of 2023?
Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills finished as the number one fantasy quarterback of 2023 with 387 fantasy points across 17 games. His 23 points per game was the highest per-game figure in the top ten, and his best week of 40 was also the largest single-week score on the board. He led every column that matters at the position for the season, which is the strongest consistency signal the numbers can offer.
The chase group tells you how much separation existed. Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles scored 357 fantasy points, and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys scored 339, both over 17 games. Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens and Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers rounded out the top five at 329 and 315 fantasy points respectively. Allen stood above all of them in total, per-game rate, and peak week.
The complete top 10 fantasy QB seasons of 2023
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Josh Allen | Buffalo Bills | 17 | 387 | 23 | 40 | | 2 | Jalen Hurts | Philadelphia Eagles | 17 | 357 | 21 | 34 | | 3 | Dak Prescott | Dallas Cowboys | 17 | 339 | 20 | 38 | | 4 | Lamar Jackson | Baltimore Ravens | 17 | 329 | 19 | 36 | | 5 | Jordan Love | Green Bay Packers | 17 | 315 | 19 | 28 | | 6 | Brock Purdy | San Francisco 49ers | 17 | 296 | 17 | 30 | | 7 | Jared Goff | Detroit Lions | 17 | 285 | 17 | 31 | | 8 | Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers | 14 | 232 | 17 | 29 | | 9 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 280 | 16 | 34 | | 10 | Justin Fields | Chicago Bears | 14 | 230 | 16 | 33 |
Where the per-game column disagrees with the totals
The most striking feature of the 2023 board is Patrick Mahomes. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback finished ninth in total fantasy points with 280, yet his per-game figure of 16 sits next to Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears, who finished tenth with 230 points from 14 games. The totals and the rates disagree about the middle of the board, and that disagreement is where consistency arguments actually live.
Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers presents the same puzzle from the other side. He posted 232 fantasy points, which lands him eighth, but his per-game mark of 17 matches Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions, who both finished ahead of him in total with 296 and 285 points. Herbert's season was as productive on a weekly basis as the players ranked above him.
Jordan Love's best week of 28 is the smallest peak among the top five, well short of the 34 posted by Jalen Hurts and the 38 posted by Dak Prescott. His fifth-place finish at 315 fantasy points came without a dominant single week, which is its own kind of consistency: the total was built week to week rather than on one outlier score.
What made Josh Allen's 2023 the standard
Every measurable column in the 2023 top ten points the same direction. Josh Allen's 387 fantasy points stand first, his 23 points per game stand first, and his best week of 40 stands first. No other quarterback in the top ten matched him in any of the three categories, let alone all of them.
The rest of the field reinforces the gap. Between Allen's 23 points per game and Jalen Hurts at 21 points per game sits a step down that no one else closed, and the best-week column shows the same shape: Allen's 40 stands above Prescott's 38 and Jackson's 36. For a season-long consistency question, the 2023 answer is not close.
