Patrick Mahomes's Best Fantasy Seasons: Every Year Ranked

What are Patrick Mahomes's best fantasy seasons?

Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs occupies every row of this quarterback leaderboard, and the ordering is settled at the top: 2018 leads at 415 fantasy points, with 2022 close behind at 411. The separation comes in the schedule column, since his 415-point year came in 16 games while the 411-point year needed 17. That makes the per-game comparison decisive, at 26 for 2018 against 24 for 2022.

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 415 | 26 | 39 | | 2 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 411 | 24 | 35 | | 3 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 368 | 23 | 40 | | 4 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 358 | 21 | 36 | | 5 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 285 | 18 | 32 | | 6 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 283 | 17 | 29 | | 7 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 15 | 282 | 19 | 32 | | 8 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 17 | 280 | 16 | 34 |

Below the top two, 2020 ranks third with 368 fantasy points in 16 games, ahead of 2021 at 358 in 17 games. The drop from fourth to fifth is the sharpest break on the board: 2021 finished at 358 points and 2019 at 285, a fall that reshapes the entire lower half of the list. From fifth place onward the seasons bunch tightly, with 2019, 2024, 2025 and 2023 all landing between 280 and 285 points.

How does the per-game column change the picture?

The per-game numbers confirm the headline ranking but rearrange the middle. The 2025 season ranks only seventh on total points, yet its 19 points per game sit ahead of both 2024 and 2023, a direct consequence of appearing in just 15 games, the fewest of any season listed. Likewise, 2019 edges 2024 on rate at 18 points per game against 17, even though their totals sit one point apart at 285 and 283.

For fantasy managers drafting off recent form, the gap that matters is between the early stretch and the later one. Four consecutive seasons, 2018 through 2021, occupy the top four spots, each averaging 21 points per game or better. Every season from 2019 onward that ranks fifth or lower sits at 19 or fewer.

Which Mahomes season had the biggest single week?

The best-week column carries a surprise: the single highest game of his record, 40 fantasy points, belongs to 2020, only the third-ranked season overall. The 2018 season, his best by every cumulative measure, peaked at 39. In fact, across the eight seasons listed, 2024 shows the lowest single-week peak, with a best week of 29.

The 2023 season shows how a strong peak can coexist with a modest total: it posted a 34-point best week yet finished last overall at 280 points. Meanwhile 2019 and 2025 share an identical best week of 32 despite finishing with 285 and 282 points respectively, another sign that the difference between those seasons sat in consistency rather than in any single outing.

What should fantasy managers take from this record?

Two lessons stand out for draft strategy. First, the historical peak came in a 16-game season, so when a 17-game year approaches that total, the per-game rate is the fairer measure, and on that measure 2018 still wins at 26 points per game. Second, the recent seasons cluster far below the record years, which argues for weighing his current scoring level rather than memories of his best totals.

For anyone comparing quarterback options, the record shows a career with two clearly elite fantasy seasons, two more strong ones, and then a tight group where scheduling quirks, like the 15-game 2025 campaign, decide the order more than scoring rate does. That context is what makes a published accuracy record useful: the numbers above are what actually happened, season by season, in the format this service measures.
