Consistency Ranks – Week 2

We can’t know for sure who has true consistency just yet, as it’s only been two weeks. However, a picture for a lot of players is starting to be painted. Some are Bob Ross levels of relaxing. While others are more like your nephew’s chaotic finger painting. Whichever it is, don’t panic (or relax) too much just yet. Some notable trends I wanted to highlight are below. As always, the Google Sheet with the full picture can be found at the link below. If this is your first time here, or you need a refresher on how the sheet is laid out, please refer to last week’s initial installment in the series, here.
