Ben Rolfe analyzes the first 13 weeks of NFL player data, measuring fantasy football performance using consistency data to help make start/sit lineup decisions.
This feels like the first time in ages we have not lost a fantasy gold mine type team to Thursday Night Football. Seriously can one of the Jaguars and Titans play in that slot every week? Their current brand of football suits it so well! What that does mean is that entering the fantasy weekend we have all our favorite fantasy offenses available. However, there is some bad news. The three best offenses, Rams, Chiefs and Saints, all have circumstances which make them tough plays this week. The Chiefs and Rams face two of the best defenses around right now, and the Saints could be playing in a thunderstorm in Tampa. That means we are potentially relying on the Steelers and Chargers to beat up on bad defenses to give us a fun points-filled Sunday afternoon!
The information I am going to use in this articles comes from FFstatistics.com, founded by the person who used to write this article, Addison Hayes. Here are the links to the main articles last year where Addison introduced his key terms. The three main elements are standard deviation (explained here), calculations of players floors and ceiling (explained here) and then finally the use of the Coefficient of Variation to calculate Consistency Ratings or COR (explained here). This paragraph is going to be present a lot this year for those of you interested in the math behind the numbers below.
A final note for this article is that although this article will be published following Thursday Night Football, the numbers from those games will not be included. I will also be unlikely to touch on those players unless they stand out as major players you should be targeting on the following week's waiver wires. Therefore, do not be surprised to not see much mention of those players below.

The table above (and each table in the article) is sorted by players 2018 COR through thirteen games from largest to smallest. As always I do not have a huge amount to say about the quarterback position. If you are a Rivers owner, beware the potential he gets pulled in the fourth quarter. I am not sure what you can do about it and chances are if he is pulled he has already done well, so you are still starting him whatever.
Baker Mayfield could be in for a nice week against a Panthers team which is falling apart all over the place. Defensive the Panthers have struggled to shut teams downs, and Mayfield should be able to have some sort of bounce back after a tough first half last week.
I wrote about Andrew Luck this week, and if I have a viable alternative on the bench or available to stream, then I am going to look that way. I like Dak Prescott to have a good week against a bad Eagles secondary, and hopefully, we see Mitchell Trubisky back against a meh Rams defense.

It was nice to see Sproles get back on the field last week but from a fantasy point of view he is only an option in really deep leagues because of a low ceiling based on the timeshare in that backfield. James Conner is out this week and Jaylen Samuels steps in as a must play against a bad Raider defence. Lamar Miller has been riding high recently but the Colts defence has not been a push over this season. I am still trusting him given his recent form but he is a player that never inspires confidence.
Chris Carson has been limited in practice this week so his Saturday practice availability will be key ahead of the Monday Night Football game. However, there are now quite a few mouths to feed in that backfield, so given the injury questions, it will be hard to trust him. We are starting to see the Austin Ekeler star fade and the Justin Jackson stock rise. As the lead back you still have to start Ekeler against the woeful Bengals defense, but Jackson could also have flex appeal this week.
Just to finish on Peyton Barber who has a matchup against one of the toughest run defenses in the league in terms of yards surrendered. However, the Saints defense has allowed 10 rushing touchdowns this season, and Barber has three in his last three games.

Wide receiver is a little like quarterback in terms of the best guys are where you expect them to be. Tyler Boyd as the lead back in Cincinnati could see plenty of targets but I just do not trust Jeff Driskel to get it right consistently. Kenny Golladay has really stepped up as the number one in Detroit but they have another reasonably tough matchup against the Cardinals.
Adam Humphries has been a recent star for the Buccaneers and seems to have a real rapport with Jameis Winston. He has receiving touchdowns in his last three games and will remain the number three receiver with DeSean Jackson out this week. It is sad to see Christian Kirk done for the year but it has been hard to trust him, and the Detroit secondary has some nice pieces, so he was not a huge loss this week.

If you can start one of the top three in any format then you simply have to do it. Eric Ebron has been on the injury report this week which is a huge concern but if he is active the Titans had been having problems with the tight end position. Austin Hooper seems to keep finding value every week and has become an almost impossible guy to ignore. Matt Ryan seems to trust him and we have reached a point where so should you.
It's been tough sledding for the likes of Evan Engram, David Njoku and Trey Burton. Engram and Njoku have never fully seemed healthy this season, and Burton has been hampered lately by the loss of Trubisky. If Njoku is good to go he has a nice matchup against the Panthers defense this week. Equally, if Trubisky is back, then Burton becomes an interesting start this week.
