Fantasy Football Consistency

It's that time o f year where people start drafting their fantasy football teams and start doing research.

One thing I like to do is look at game to game consistency and production. Below is my list of players that consistently perform well, game after game, at their respective positions that you should be targetting. Consistency may be a bad thing, because you may be consistently mediocre or consistently bad. So be wary of these lists. 

QB:
Aaron Rodgers. He's the only one that is in a class by himself in terms of consistency. And being consistently good. Then you have:
Roethlisberger. Consistently mediocre. But very consistent.
Brees
Schaub
Favre. Will he play this year?
P. Manning
Rivers
Brady
Romo
McNabb

RB:
Chris Johnson
Adrian Peterson
Ray Rice
Frank Gore
Thomas Jones. He may have a more reduced role this year.
Maurice Jones Drew. This is about where you can draw the line. MJD and the above guys (except Jones) are likely going to be the top 5 RBs this year. The rest are questionable, but still have a chance to make it to the top 5. We never really know what will happen.
Ryan Grant
Steven Jackson
Joseph Addai
Cedric Benson
Ricky Williams
DeAngelo Williams. Any of these guys still have a chance at making it into the top 5 and it depends on other factors; injuries, playing time, scheming, whether their team plays well or poorly down the stretch, etc.

WR:
Andre Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Randy Moss
Miles Austin
DeSean Jackson
Sidney Rice
Reggie Wayne
Steve Smith
Chad Johnson
Marques Colston
WesWelker
Steve Smith
Vincent Jackson
Roddy White

TE:
Antonio Gates
Dallas Clark
Brent Celek
Vernon Davis
Tony Gonzalez

Of all these players, Tight Ends seem to be the most consitently consistent year to year and game to game. If you draft one of the top 2 or 3 tight ends from last year, they are most likely to be one of the top 2 or 3 tight ends this year. This is good to know.

Should you be targetting these players? Yes! These guys perform the most consistently game in and game out. It's good to know. While they may not always be the guy that scores the highest at his position, he will score in a consistent manner from game to game.

Enjoy!
