Consistency Scores - Running Backs

  Posted 7/25 by David Dodds, Exclusive to Footballguys.com

In fantasy football, consistency can be everything. In typical Footballguys.com tradition, we have
tabulated what we consider the measures of consistency. Specifically we are charting these things for running backs:

  • Rank: Overall consistency rank based on all of the factors
  • Games: Games played
  • 75 Yards: Number of games where player had at least 75 yards rushing + receiving
  • 1 TD: Number of games player had at least 1 TD (Passing + Rushing + Receiving)
  • Both: Number of games player had both 75 yards and 1 TD
  • Top 24: Number of weeks player finished in the Top 24 of RB Fantasy Points
  • Top 200: Number of Top 200 RB performances during the season
  • Rank Player Games 75 Yards 1 TD Both Top 24 Top 200
