Most Consistent Fantasy Running Backs

Many Fantasy Running Backs will have a high fantasy game average and appear to be a great pick for a fantasy team, but depending on the type of fantasy football league you are in you might want to research the player further. If you are in a straight total points league then the consistency of the player probably does not matter that much, but if it is a head to head league and you will be winning or losing based on just the total points for the week, then you should learn how consistent the player is. Does the Running Back have a lot of high weeks and low weeks and when averaged together do they equal a high fantasy average or are they consistently around their fantasy average? These are good things to know. Reasearch each 2012 Fantasy Running Back below and learn which ones are the most consistent and which ones are 'feast or famine'.
