Saquon Barkley's Best Fantasy Seasons: Every Year Ranked by Fantasy Points
Saquon Barkley's best fantasy season was 2018 with the New York Giants, when he piled up 384 fantasy points across 16 games at 24 per game. His second-best year came in 2024 with the Philadelphia Eagles, when he scored 349 points over 17 games and delivered a single week of 46 points. His 2022 season with the New York Giants ranks third at 282 points, so the 2018 campaign still stands as the standard for his career.
What were Saquon Barkley's best fantasy seasons?
The record shows six qualified seasons, and one sits clearly above the rest. The 2018 season with the New York Giants produced 384 fantasy points, the largest total of Barkley's career, supported by a 24 point per game average and a best week of 38. The gap to his next-best year is real: 2024 with the Philadelphia Eagles brought 349 points, and the per game average there was 21.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Saquon Barkley | New York Giants | 16 | 384 | 24 | 38 | | 2 | Saquon Barkley | Philadelphia Eagles | 17 | 349 | 21 | 46 | | 3 | Saquon Barkley | New York Giants | 17 | 282 | 17 | 31 | | 4 | Saquon Barkley | New York Giants | 16 | 244 | 15 | 44 | | 5 | Saquon Barkley | Philadelphia Eagles | 17 | 230 | 14 | 33 | | 6 | Saquon Barkley | New York Giants | 17 | 221 | 13 | 30 |
How do Barkley's two best seasons compare?
The top two seasons tell different stories. In 2018, Barkley reached 384 points in only 16 games, and his per game figure of 24 is the highest of his career by a clear distance. The 2024 season with the Philadelphia Eagles needed 17 games to reach 349 points at 21 per game, yet it owns the more explosive single performance: a best week of 46, the largest of any season on his record.
That 46 point week deserves emphasis. No other Barkley season contains a game close to it, though 2019's best week of 44 comes nearest. So the 2018 year wins on week-to-week consistency, while 2024 holds the peak performance. If you value the biggest single-game outbursts, 2024 is his most electric season; if you value sustained output, 2018 has no rival on his record.
Where does the drop-off sit in his season list?
The separation comes after the second-ranked season. Barkley's top two years sit at 384 and 349 points, while his third-best season, 2022 with the New York Giants, came in at 282 points. From there the totals step down gradually: 244 points in 2019, 230 points in 2025 with the Philadelphia Eagles, and 221 points in 2023.
The per game column moves in step with the totals rather than contradicting them, sliding from 24 in 2018 down through 21, 17, 15, 14 and 13. That orderly decline means the ranking by total points and the ranking by per game production are the same list, which is unusual for a career this long and makes 2018's figure look even stronger in context.
Which seasons spread across which teams?
Four of the six ranked seasons belong to the New York Giants: 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023. The Philadelphia Eagles account for two: 2024, his second-best year, and 2025, which ranks fifth at 230 points.
Notably, the two Philadelphia seasons bookend his remaining career highs. The 2024 season at 349 points is the best production on the record outside of his top Giants year, and the 2025 season at 14 points per game still ranks among his six best campaigns. Both of his Eagles seasons also include 17 games, matching the longer schedules that mark the later portion of his career record.
