The Alabama product racked up over 378 points as a dual-threat QB, accounting for 35 combined passing, rushing and receiving touchdowns across 15 games.
Hurts completed 66.5% of his passes for 22 touchdowns and six interceptions, plus another 760 yards and 13 TDs rushing.

17. Cam Newton (2015) - 399.1 points
Newton's 2015 MVP season remains one of the most impressive in NFL history.

16. Edgerinn James (2000) - 403.3 points
Having been selected as the fourth overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft, James wasted no time in taking the league by storm.
In 2000, he became only the sixth player in NFL history to rush for 3,000 yards or more in their first two seasons.
That year he scored over 400 Fantasy points by virtue of 18 touchdowns and 1,700 rushing yards across 16 games.
15. Aaron Rodgers (2011) - 403.4 points
Rodgers ran away with the MVP award in 2011, leading the Packers to a 15-1 record in a vintage Fantasy year for the veteran QB.
The Green Bay icon threw 45 touchdown passes with just 6 interceptions, the best ratio in NFL history.
His ludicrous stat-line included 309.5 yards-per-game with a touchdown percentage ratio of 9.0%.

14. Drew Brees (2011) - 405.6 points
Brees started his career as a second-round pick and ended as the No. 2 all-time passer in NFL history.
Brees also entered the league when the Chargers still played in San Diego, which shows how much the sport changed while the 13-time Pro Bowler set records and expanded the horizon for NFL offenses.
13. David Johnson (2016) - 407.8 points
A career-best season saw the Arizona Cardinals running back amass 407 points in 2016.
Johnson scored 16 touchdowns and rushed for over 1,200 yards, including two hat-trick games against Seattle and the Jets.
He would fail to reach the lofty heights of his historic 2016 season - but Fantasy fans will never forget his 2016 contribution.
12. Steven Jackson (2006) - 415.4 points
After Marshall Faulk, there was Steven Jackson.

11. Josh Allen (2021) - 417.6 points
Allen is one of the most sought after quarterback in any draft and the Bills star announced himself on the Fantasy Football stage in 2021.
Across 17 games on the way to AFC Championship defeat to eventual Super Bowl winners Kansas, Allen threw, ran, dived and pushed his way to 417 points.
Allen threw for 36 touchdowns and rushed for six of his own to become the undisputed QB1 for the season.
10. Peyton Manning (2013) - 420 points
Manning makes the top 10 for his 2013 season despite rushing for -35 yards that year.
What the Denver Broncos signal caller lacked in mobility he more than made up for in passing prowess.
In a historic season, the former Colt threw an all-time NFL record 55 touchdown passes and 5,477 yards to fire the Broncos to Super Bowl XLVIII, where they would lose out to the Seattle Seahawks.
12
9. Jerry Rice (1995) - 420 points
Hall of Fame wide receiver Rice was an absolute force in 1995. He finished with 1,848 yards and 15 touchdowns in 16 games.
The 49ers icon plundered over 400 Fantasy points from 122 catches across 16 games.
His season total for receiving yards means he's ranked fourth in the all-time list behind Julio Jones (1,871), Cooper Kupp (1,947) and Calvin Johnson (1,947).
12
8. Lamar Jackson (2019) - 421.7 points
Jackson was named MVP in 2019, becoming only the second player ever to win the award unanimously.
Lamar won the honor thanks to his incredible performances for the Ravens in a year in which he led the team to a league-best 14-2 record.
As well as passing for 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns, Jackson rushed for 1,206 yards, breaking Michael Vick's single-season record for a quarterback in the process and obliterating the average mark for an MVP quarterback (131).
7. Emmitt Smith (1995) - 426.8 points
The three-time Super Bowl champion leads the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns but his best year came in 1995.
He recorded career highs for rushing yards (1,773), rushing touchdowns (25), and receptions (62).
Smith’s impact on the team helped nurture the Cowboys back to the top of the NFL.
The Cowboys, with their star runner leading the way, won three Super Bowls over four seasons from 1992 to 1995.
12
6. Patrick Mahomes (2022) - 429.4 points
Mahomes was named MVP for the second time in his career after setting the league ablaze with 5,250 passing yards and 41 touchdowns in the regular season.
The Chiefs No.14 was the only quarterback that year to eclipse 5,000 passing yards and 40 touchdowns.
His 308.8 passing yards per game was also an NFL-high.
Mahomes would go on to lead the Chiefs to Super Bowl glory in a thrilling 38-35 win over Philadelphia Eagles.
12
5. Cooper Kupp (2021) - 439.5 points
Kupp's 2021 production helped the Los Angeles Rams to Super Bowl glory.
His telepathic relationship with quarterback Matthew Stafford saw him rack up 1,947 yards, just 53 shy of Calvin Johnson's all-time record (2,000).
Kupp would go on to win the Super Bowl MVP, scoring two touchdowns as the Rams beat Cincinnati Bengals in the 2022 Big Game.
4. Priest Holmes (2003) - 445 points
Before Patrick Mahomes, Holmes was the must have Chiefs pick in any Fantasy draft.
Holmes' points haul comprised of 1,420 yards and 27 touchdowns in just 14 games, two fewer than the majority of players on our list.
The Chiefs running back's single-season touchdown haul is remains just one shy of the all-time record set by LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006.
12
3. Marshall Faulk (2000) - 459.9 points
The St. Louis Rams running back is the first man on our Fantasy podium with his 2000 season with the 'Greatest Show on Turf'.
Faulk had 253 carries for 1,359 yards and scored 26 touchdowns in 14 games in 2000.
He was selected to play in his fifth Pro Bowls.
He won his second Offensive Player of the Year award and his first MVP award.

He rushed for 1,387 yards and 15 touchdowns while catching 116 passes for 1,005 yards and four touchdowns for the Panthers.
McCaffrey joined Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk as the only players in NFL history to accomplish the 1,000-1,000 feat.
CMac formed a formidable Fantasy partnership with Carolina's dual-threat QB Cam Newton.
