Hello and welcome to Market Fantasy!
Below you will find the updated consistency rankings through week 13. The ranks are based on a combination of player weekly scoring average and the standard deviation of the scores. They’re not meant to be regular season ranks, but more of a predictive tool. The aim is to identify players who score the most points week to week on the most consistent basis. A full description of how the ranks are calculated can be found here. As always, the players are listed with the relevant information so you can do your own research and work with the info how you like.
Week 13 is in the books, and with that, so are many or your fantasy regular seasons. Unless your season went very well (resulting in a bye) or very poorly (resulting in waiting for next year/baseball), this week is the start of the fantasy playoffs. It doesn’t matter how you got in, the only thing that matters now is that you’re in and playing for whatever your league plays for. Best of luck to everyone out there!
As far as week 13 was concerned, it will go down as the week of the WR. Two players had over 200 yards, with Josh Gordon becoming the first player to record back to back 200 yard receiving games and Alshon Jeffery breaking his own team record set earlier in the year for most yards in a single game. Not to be outdone, Eric Decker made up for a disappointing year TD wise by catching four TDs this in week 13. Heck, even Roddy White went for 143 yards. If you hung on to him and are still playing for something, this could finally be your payoff as White has a nice schedule coming up. Unfortunately, none of these guys, except MAYBE White are on the waiver wire to grab. Don’t worry, though, there are definitely some good options out there to pick up for the playoffs and beyond. Remember, the playoffs aren’t the time to get cute, and the waiver wire now becomes strategy. Look for guys who could best help as bench depth in case of injury or look at the playoff field’s rosters and pick up guys who could most help your opponents.
On to the pickups!
QB:
Joe Flacco – Joe Flacco isn’t good, or exciting or worth anywhere near the money he got in the offseason. If you’ve been streaming QBs, however, Flacco does matchup with the Vikings this week, and the Vikings can’t stop the pass at all. It’s not a ringing endorsement, but if you’re desperate, I could see a couple big plays from Flacco this week.
Alex Smith – Smith has played a lot better than Flacco all year, and this week he gets to take on a Washington defense that is bad against the pass. Smith doesn’t really wow you, but at the end of the day, his numbers are usually there and he is running a good bit this year as well. Give him a look for QB depth and if your guy has a brutal matchup or has been inconsistent
RB:
Joique Bell – Despite being the backup to Reggie Bush, Bell has actually put up double digits in five of his 12 games this year. Bush has had a fumbling problem as of late, and two weeks ago, it got him benched for Bell. Bell is generally a factor at the goal line as well. He could be a decent flex this week against a soft Eagles defense, but is definitely worth an add as he should retain at minimum flex value and would be a top 15 guy if Bush were to get hurt.
Mike Tolbert – The Carolina RB situation is kind of a mess right now with DeAngelo Williams banged up and Jonathon Stewart looking slow. Tolbert has always been the goal line guy, but he could see an even bigger role if his teammates miss more time or are continued to be hampered by injury. He will continue to be an up and down play, but the opportunity could certainly be there for him to take on a larger role during the fantasy playoffs.
LeGarette Blount – I don’t recommend relying on a Pats RB not named Vereen in the playoffs, but if you must, it’s looking like Blount is your man. With Stevan Ridley a healthy scratch due to fumble-it is, it was Blount who had the most carries for the Pats last week. He also scored as well. If you’re in a league where the running back pool is depleted, Blount may be worth a look as he looks to be involved in the offense going forward.
WR:
Cordarrelle Patterson – Patterson is nothing more than a depth play or a dynasty/keeper speculative pickup, but he has shown that he can make electric plays in all facets of the game. Last week against the Bears, he took an end around to the house, outrunning the whole defense (which admittedly isn’t hard to do against the Bears). He is too inconsistent to start on a weekly basis, but he does have at least 8 points in three of his last six and could be an intriguing pick up to stash if you have the bench space.
Doug Baldwin – Baldwin is more of a WR3/depth guy, but you have to take note of his production of late. Baldwin has produced double digits in three of his last four games, and the low game was still 7.6 points. Being tied to arguably the hottest QB in the game doesn’t hurt either. He’s got a tough schedule ahead, but with the Percy Harvin debut on hiatus, he could still get his fair share of looks and be productive.
Julian Edelman – Edelman is a lot like Doug Baldwin in that he’s a little inconsistent, but is tied to a hot QB and has produced as of late. Those two things are really hard to ignore. With Aaron Dobson and Danny Amendola basically MIA since week nine and Kenbrell Thompkins not living up to the pre-draft hype, SOMEONE has to catch the ball besides Gronk. That someone more often than not has been Edelman, who has given us back to back weeks of double digit fantasy points.
TE:
Anthony Fasano – Fasano was pretty much a non-factor until week 11. In that span, he has put up at least 8 points in three straight games, and now, gets to face the Redskins who routinely get torched in the passing game. If you’re hurting at TE, Fasano could be a sneaky good play this week and is a good bet to keep on rolling.
Ladarius Green – I talked Green up last week, and he delivered again. Green now has at least 8 points in three straight and double digits in his last two. The rookie is really coming on, leaving Antonio Gates as an afterthought. I would pick up Green in any league if I had the bench space right now.
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading and good luck in the playoffs!
