This column uses standard fantasy scoring to rate players on their consistency in the 2024 season. For IDPs (Individual Defensive Players), the weekly scoring is as follows: solo tackle (1.5), assisted tackle (0.75), tackle for loss (2), sack (4), interception (5), forced fumble (4), fumble recovery (4), touchdown (6), safety (2), and pass defended (1.5). Here’s an overview of the main metrics and column headers used in these ratings:
Start%: Shows how often the player was a worthy start in leagues. Calculated by dividing the player’s number of qualifying “Starts” by their team’s scheduled games.
CR: The “Consistency Rating” (CR) is the player’s weekly standard deviation divided by their fantasy points per game, showing how close they stay to their average output. A lower number indicates greater consistency.
nPPR%: Reflects the player’s start percentage under non-PPR scoring, adhering to ESPN’s standard (no points per reception).
FPTS/G: Average fantasy points scored per game by the player.
Start: The number of weeks a player’s points justified them as a start in an ESPN league.
Star: Times the player’s score ranked among the best at their position.
Stiff: Times the player’s performance was among the worst for their position, making them a weak start.
Sat: Times the player missed a game, which lowers their Start Percentage but doesn’t affect their CR or add “Stiff” points.
To be included in the chart, players must meet certain benchmarks, such as being a top-15 quarterback, tight end, or kicker; top-40 running back or wide receiver; top-30 defensive lineman, linebacker, or defensive back; or averaging 40+ snaps per game in 2024. All defense/special teams are included.
