Quarterbacks have become much more important to a team's success in fantasy football. The breakdown below, however, will serve as a spotlight on the five best fantasy football quarterback seasons ever, quantifying their absurd outputs and lasting marking of eras.

1. 2013 - Peyton Manning

Key Stats and Performance

  • Passing Yards: 5,477
  • Passing Touchdowns: 55
  • Interceptions: 10
  • Completion Percentage: 68.3%
  • Fantasy Points: 528.7

For most, Peyton Manning's 2013 season will be remembered as one of the greatest in fantasy football history. He threw 55 TDs, a record that still hasn't been broken in the NFL. His surgeon-like attention to detail and precise execution of game plans allowed Manning to lead the Denver Broncos to a 13-3 finish that concluded with a Super Bowl appearance.

Overall Impact and Legacy

Manning's 2013 season didn't just revolutionize how we see the quarterback position in fantasy football, but it potentially set a benchmark for future passers. It added to his legacy of being one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL History and set a mark for young upcoming players. The season put a super premium on having an offense full of big plays, which will also inform the quarterback landscape in fantasy drafts this season.

2. 2018 - Patrick Mahomes

Key Stats and Performance

  • Passing Yards: 5,097
  • Passing Touchdowns: 50
  • Interceptions: 12
  • Completion Percentage: 66.0%
  • Fantasy Points: 516.4

While he was an early-career star, the 2018 season from Patrick Mahomes ushered in a new era of how we view quarterbacks. He can make plays from the pocket, on designed rollouts, etc. His arm is terrific in all manner of throws, short to deep. His accuracy during '16 was outstanding; that bought him a 12-win season with the KC Chiefs. Mahomes' 50 touchdown passes have been a quantum leap in his high floor, making him an automatic must-start in fantasy leagues.

Overall Impact and Legacy

His MVP 2018 season not only solidified his superstar status but also changed the perception of what a dual-threat quarterback can be in fantasy circles. He has chartered a new path for state-of-the-art quarterbacks: the mobile, versatile quarterback. You can see the effect Mahomes had as he remained on top of the fantasy charts for years to come and has played in each game this year his Kansas City Chiefs have been involved with.

3. 2011 - Aaron Rodgers

Key Stats and Performance

  • Passing Yards: 4,643
  • Passing Touchdowns: 45
  • Interceptions: 6
  • Completion Percentage: 68.3%
  • Fantasy Points: 480.6

Many regard Aaron Rodgers's 2011 season as one of the most efficient in NFL history. He then quarterbacked the Green Bay Packers into a record 15-1 season with arguably one of the best touchdown-to-interception ratios in NFL history. That season, Rodgers made unbelievably quick decisions and tossed the rock all over as a Fantasy Football monster.

Overall Impact and Legacy

Rodgers just enjoyed one of the finest seasons by any quarterback since Dan Marino set every conceivable passing record on fire in 1984. His ability to take care of the ball and put points on the board is standard quarterbacks compare themselves to, as they know that they or their team with possession of the rock can do this same thing. That offensive system and Rodgers' legacy persist in how fantasy managers assess QB skills.

4. 2020 - Josh Allen

Key Stats and Performance

  • Passing Yards: 4,544
  • Passing Touchdowns: 37
  • Interceptions: 10
  • Completion Percentage: 69.2%
  • Rushing Yards: 421
  • Rushing Touchdowns: 8
  • Fantasy Points: 396

2020 was a huge step in the progression of Josh Allen as an NFL quarterback. He had the perfect blend of passing and rushing skills that turned him into an absolute nightmare for defenses. His performance in leading the Buffalo Bills to their first AFC East title since 1995 demonstrated his maturity as a leader.

Overall Impact and Legacy

The portion of Allen's 2020 season established a new normal for quarterbacks under consideration as top overall fantasy options for those who boast sizable rushing/upside capabilities, too. His success has changed any expectations for how teams see quarterback prospects in the way of less traditional passers and more athletes with multiple uses. Allen's becoming one of the top fantasy quarterbacks has made him a pillar for all his owners.

5. 2022 - Jalen Hurts

Key Stats and Performance

  • Passing Yards: 3,701
  • Passing Touchdowns: 22
  • Interceptions: 6
  • Completion Percentage: 66.5%
  • Rushing Yards: 760
  • Rushing Touchdowns: 13
  • Fantasy Points: 396

The 2022 season was great for Jalen Hurts, as he showed that he is not only amazing on the ground. His rushing numbers were so good, and he was so efficient as a passer that it wasn't enough to just throw him out there because of his legs. He followed up by leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance, cementing himself as one of the league's best quarterbacks.

Overall Impact and Legacy

Just look at how Hurts has rocked the 2022 fantasy football world and validated why having a quarterback who can run with volume is so incredibly valuable. That success has led to reshaping team concepts on the offensive side of things, as teams now target dual-threat quarterbacks in both their fantasy drafts and player evaluations.

The performances of these elite quarterbacks have had major effects on the way fantasy football has evolved. Not only did each of the seasons mentioned earlier go on to become record-breaking, but they also forever altered how we digest and prioritize the quarterback in fantasy. As the game reduces and shifts, these men's columns will be their molds for years to come as they illustrate how both passing and rushing matter in fantasy football success.
