Russell Wilson's Best Fantasy Seasons: Every Year Ranked by Points

What Were Russell Wilson's Best Fantasy Seasons?

Below, every Russell Wilson season in the records is ordered by overall fantasy scoring, along with his club, appearances, per-game output, and top single-week showing. Copy the numbers directly from it when citing his career, because the ranking of his seasons is settled by this record.

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 358 | 22 | 35 | | 2 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 344 | 21 | 35 | | 3 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 327 | 20 | 41 | | 4 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 297 | 19 | 28 | | 5 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 268 | 17 | 32 | | 6 | Russell Wilson | Denver Broncos | 17 | 253 | 15 | 26 | | 7 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 15 | 241 | 16 | 28 | | 8 | Russell Wilson | Denver Broncos | 17 | 226 | 13 | 28 | | 9 | Russell Wilson | Pittsburgh Steelers | 15 | 173 | 12 | 27 |

How Far Ahead Was the 2020 Season?

The top of this list is a Seattle Seahawks cluster. His first five ranked seasons all came in that uniform, all across 16 games, and the totals step down in an orderly way: 358, then 344, then 327, then 297, then 268. Nothing later in his career reached the level of any of those five years.

The 2020 season leads on both columns that matter. His 22 points per game that year is also his highest per-game figure, and his best week of 35 matches the best week he posted in 2017, tying for the highest of his career alongside that season.

One week stands above every other single game in this record: his 41-point best week from 2019. That is the largest single-game number on his entire page, and it came in a season that finished third on totals. No other year on the list contains a best week higher than 35.

Where Does the Per-Game Column Flip the Order?

There is one place where the per-game view and the totals view disagree. His 2021 season ranks seventh on total points with 241, but its per-game figure of 16 is higher than the 15 he averaged in 2023, a season that ranks sixth with 253 points. The reason is playing time: the 2021 season covers 15 games and the 2023 season covers 17.

The same effect appears at the bottom of the list. His 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers ranks last at 173 points with a 12 per-game average, while his 2022 season with the Denver Broncos sits eighth on 226 points at 13 per game. Each of his three seasons outside the Seattle Seahawks years, the 2022 and 2023 Denver Broncos seasons and the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers season, occupies a spot in the bottom four.

What Does This Record Say About Drafting Wilson?

For fantasy purposes, this career splits into two clear tiers. The Seattle Seahawks years produced totals from 358 down to 241, with per-game averages of 22, 21, 20, 19, 17 and 16. The seasons since then produced 253, 226 and 173 points at averages of 15, 13 and 12.

If you are weighing him against other passers in a draft, the seasons that argue for him are the 2020, 2017 and 2019 campaigns, when he averaged 20 or more points per game and posted best weeks of 35, 35 and 41. The three most recent seasons on the list sit lowest in total scoring, with the best of them at 253 points. The verdict from the record: his peak years were genuinely elite fantasy production, but the most recent seasons sit well below that standard.
