Before I get into our list of the greatest quarterback seasons in fantasy football history, make sure you check out our list of the 15 greatest seasons overall.
You’ll notice the overall list is dominated by running backs, with a few quarterbacks and wide receivers sprinkled in, which is exactly why it’s based on PPR scoring. Because, otherwise, it would’ve ended up a clone of this list. We wanted a little more variety for that one.
In standard-scoring fantasy football, though, quarterbacks account for a large majority of the greatest seasons ever (most in the last decade). They deserved their own list, so here it is.
