Adrian Peterson is taking the NFL by storm, but is he number 1 in our weekly consistency rankings?
We believe that the consistency rankings are one of the best tools to judge fantasy performance, because they look not only at the total fantasy points a player has scored, but at the distribution of those points, by week. Steady players, who consistently score higher than the position "baseline", or worst starter, are rewarded, while volatile players, who post elite numbers one week and sub-par numbers the next week, are penalized. Unlike year to date aggregate fantasy points, or per game average fantasy points, the consistency rankings are not overly skewed by one or two monster games.
