Like they just seem to forget how it is to play football. On the other hand, there are those players who actually have consistent performances week after week. In fact, these players are great that they can do well the whole year round. You want these kinds of players in your fantasy football league. So how do you procure such great players in the market?

For example, when your star quarterback gets injured in real life, have you chosen a replacement that is consistent? If the history of the player tells a lot of injuries or inconsistencies, he won’t get better just because you drafted him.
