There has been a lot of talk about individual scoring inconsistency on this board, but does anyone know of a good way to quantify it? The best way that came to my mind was standard deviation in points per 48 in each game:
Player Standard Deviation in PP48
Buckner 5.82
Doleac 6.27
Brewer 6.88
Jefferson 7.19
Telfair 7.27
Gomes 7.52
Madsen 7.62
Richard 9.41
Walker 10.03
McCants 10.81
Smith 11.07
Green 13.31
No surprise that Walker, McCants, Smith, and Green are the most inconsistent scorers using this statistic; what did surprise me was Brewer's and Telfair's relative consistency. Anyway, this might not be a very accurate statistic, if anyone has a better idea, don't keep it to yourself.

haha
I think what's going to be more telling is scoring inconsistency compared to minutes inconsistency. I bet they're parallel.
"Dude, all I am saying is we already have a starting RB, his name is Chester Taylor. Besides AP isn't that good anyways. I hope we draft McFadden." --Me after he broke the record.

Here's the standard deviation in minutes per game:
Brewer 11.75
Buckner 12.36
Doleac 6.98
Gomes 8.77
Green 8.89
Jaric 13.37
Jefferson 3.37
Madsen 5.82
McCants 11.41
Richard 6.94
Smith 7.95
Telfair 9.85
Walker 10.93
And a scatter plot comparing it with the first statistic:
I wouldn't say there's a correlation.
