Last updated: Dec. 6, 2016How consistency ratings workUsing fantasy points determined by ESPNs standard scoring, the charts contained in this column rate players based upon how consistently reliable they have been from the 2014 through 2016 seasons, a span of 47 weeks worth of games (17 weeks apiece in 2014 and 2015 and 13 thus far in 2016). For IDPs (individual defensive players), the following scoring is used: solo tackle (1), assisted tackle (0.5), sack (3), interception (3), forced fumble (3), fumble recovery (3), touchdown (6), safety (2), pass defended (1). To familiarize you with some of the terminology and column headers listed in the charts below:Start%: The players start percentage, which shows how often he earned your start in an ESPN standard league. This is his number of Starts -- those defined below -- divided by his number of scheduled team games.CR: The players consistency rating, which is calculated as his weekly standard deviation divided by his fantasy points per game average. This is meant to identify the players who were most consistently close to their weekly averages. The lower the number, the more consistent the player. Again, lower numbers are better.PPR%: The players start percentage using PPR scoring, which uses ESPNs standard scoring settings but adds one point per reception.FPTS/G: The players average fantasy points scored per game.Start: The number of times that the players point total in a given week was worthy of having had him active iin an ESPN standard league.ddddddddddddStud: The number of times the players point total ranked among the top at his position.Stiff: The number of times the players point total ranked among the worst at his position, making almost any waiver-wire option a smarter choice.These are the benchmarks for what constitutes a Start, Stud or Stiff performance:Sat: The number of times the player missed a game. Players are not charged Stiff points for sitting out, nor does it impact their overall consistency rating (CR), but it hurts their overall start percentage (Start%).Players must have at least a 20.0 percent start percentage (Start%) in either standard scoring or PPR leagues, or must rank among the top 10 quarterbacks, tight ends or kickers, top 25 running backs or wide receivers, or top 20 defensive linemen, linebackers or defensive backs, in terms of total fantasy points at their position from 2014-16, for inclusion in the chart. All defense/special teams are included, regardless of whether they met those minimums.For Consistency Ratings from only the 2016 season, click here.Quick click by position:QuarterbacksRunning backsWide receiversTight endsKickersTeam defense/special teamsDefensive linemenLinebackersDefensive backsQuarterbacksRunning backsWide receiversTight endsKickersTeam defense/special teamsDefensive linemenLinebackersDefensive backs ' ' '
