2006 proved to be the best year ever for running backs - at least for LaDainian Tomlinson who set more than a few records along the way. With so many teams using committee backfields, finding a consistent back is paramount to fantasy success. Below are all the tailbacks with more than five games with a listing of what they did in games last season. Each column represents a minimum threshold that the player hit for a week. The Consistency % represents how often a running back had a 100 total yard game and/or scored at least one touchdown in the game.
The column for "Either" shows how many times they had either a 100 yard game and/or scored at least one touchdown in a game.
