What Were the Top 10 Fantasy QB Seasons of 2019?
The full 2019 leaderboard, ranked by total fantasy points:
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points/Game | Best Week | | 1 | Lamar Jackson | Baltimore Ravens | 16 | 416 | 26 | 37 | | 2 | Dak Prescott | Dallas Cowboys | 16 | 336 | 21 | | 3 | Russell Wilson | Seattle Seahawks | 16 | 327 | 20 | 41 | | 4 | Deshaun Watson | Houston Texans | 16 | 319 | 20 | 42 | | 5 | Jameis Winston | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 16 | 297 | 19 | 35 | | 6 | Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs | 16 | 285 | 18 | 32 | | 7 | Josh Allen | Buffalo Bills | 16 | 283 | 18 | 34 | | 8 | Kyler Murray | Arizona Cardinals | 16 | 279 | 17 | 29 | | 9 | Aaron Rodgers | Green Bay Packers | 16 | 272 | 17 | 44 | | 10 | Carson Wentz | Philadelphia Eagles | 16 | 272 | 17 | 25 |
How Dominant Was Lamar Jackson's 2019 Season?
Jackson's 416 points sit in a class of their own on this list. Prescott, the runner-up, scored 336, so the gap between first and second is the widest separation anywhere on the board. Jackson also posted the highest per-game average of the group at 26, five clear of Prescott's 21. His best week of 37 was strong but not the peak single week of the year, which makes his season remarkable for its sustained level rather than one monster game.
Where Did the 2019 Quarterback Field Tighten Up?
After Prescott, the board compresses quickly. Wilson at 327 and Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans at 319 are separated by a small margin, and Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sits within reach of both at 297. The middle cluster is even tighter: Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs (285), Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills (283) and Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals (279) finished in a near deadlock spanning just a handful of points. At the bottom, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles tied at 272 points each, with Rodgers placed ahead of Wentz in the rankings.
Whose Best Week Stood Out Most in 2019?
The best-week column tells a different story than the totals. Ninth on the 2019 list, Aaron Rodgers posted a best week of 44. Deshaun Watson posted a 42 and Russell Wilson a 41, both ahead of the leader's peak. Jackson ranked first despite never producing the loudest single week, while Wentz's best week of 25 is the lowest peak on the list, showing how his points came from steady accumulation rather than splash games.
What Do the 2019 Per-Game Numbers Show?
The per-game column mostly follows the totals, but with one interesting wrinkle: the bottom half of the list is nearly flat at 17 points per game, from Murray through Rodgers and Wentz. Winston at 19 per game is the last quarterback above that plateau. The spread from Jackson's 26 down to the 17s is where all of the real separation in 2019 quarterback scoring happened, and the order behind him was decided by slim margins.
