Reporters give advice on DK Metcalf, Odell Beckham Jr. and more

Not all players who give you 18 fantasy points per game are created equal.
Some will give you around 18 points in each of the next four weeks. But there are others who will give you 30 one week and six the next, followed by 32 and four. Sure, that’s exciting, and you probably won in the first and third games of that stretch. But you probably got clobbered in the second and fourth.
ESPN’s fantasy football consistency ratings have a slew of gold nuggets worth mining.
Here are just a few:
-
Quarterbacks and wide receivers are far more consistent fantasy producers than running backs and tight ends. Of these four positions, tight ends are the least consistent.
-
The league’s most consistent player in terms of fantasy points per game is Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson. He has only two 20-plus point games, but he has delivered less than 13.3 only once (11.7). Of the seven receivers who average more FPPG than Johnson, every single one has had a worse game than 11.7 this season. Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill has had three single-digit games.
-
The league’s most consistent running back in 2021 by a wide margin is Las Vegas’ Josh Jacobs. He might be only 21st in FPPG for RBs, but he has had only one game with less than 10.7 fantasy points. Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor has two.
-
Quarterbacks occupy Nos. 5-9 on the overall consistency chart, led by Tennessee’s Ryan Tannehill.
-
Kansas City’s Travis Kelce has been the most consistent tight end. He ranks 29th overall.
ESPN fantasy sports researcher Kyle Soppe has some challenging questions for our Nation reporters this week, including what to make of new Ram Odell Beckham Jr., the Kansas City offense as a whole and what’s happening to the passing game in Seattle.
Don’t look for questions about Cleveland, Tennessee, Green Bay or Carolina. They have byes this week. Every other team was fair game. Let’s get after it.
