One thing I have alluded several times before is how consistent he has been all season long. If we are talking FanDuel scoring, he has been below 30 fantasy points exactly two times. One of them was a dud earlier in the season against Kansas City (11 FD points), and the other was three starts ago in the heat in Texas (21 FD points).
