Big Game Syndrome - Wide Receivers
Kevin Ratterree
August 3, 2009
     

This is a follow-up to an article I penned on running back consistency. The idea here is to try to identify players that were the most consistent from week to week during the season in 2008. As you know, when you play head to head leagues consistency can trump “big games.” Sometimes a player’s overall stats mis-lead us to think a player will be more valuable to us than he might actually be.

I ran these numbers the same way as I did the running backs. Based on PPR league standings, I took the receivers best two week point total and matched that total up against their final season total fantasy points. The lower the percentage, the more consistent the player.

As with the running back stats, one player came out looking particularly well here, not much of a surprise it was Larry Fitzgerald. Not only was Fitz ranked just behind WR points leader Andre Johnson he was also remarkably consistent. His best two games accounted for only 17.5% of his points total for the season, easily the best of the bunch.
