Okay, folks, let’s dive into my little project of figuring out these PPR football rankings for 2024. It wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it did take a bit of elbow grease.
First, I started by grabbing a bunch of rankings from different websites. You know, the usual suspects – the big sports sites, some fantasy football blogs, that kind of thing. I just wanted to get a general feel for where players were being ranked across the board.
Then, I dumped all these rankings into a spreadsheet. Yeah, I’m a spreadsheet kind of guy. It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done. I made columns for each source, so I could see how each site ranked each player.
Next up, I started looking for the big differences. Like, where did one site have a player way higher or lower than everyone else? Those were the interesting ones. Sometimes it was obvious – maybe a player got injured, and some sites hadn’t updated their rankings yet. Other times, it was just, you know, different opinions.
Digging into the Details
- I spent some time reading articles and listening to podcasts to try and figure out why there were these differences.
- I also looked at player stats from last year, paying special attention to targets and receptions, since we’re talking PPR here.
- It is also necessary to pay attention to the stability of different players’ performance in each game.
After that, I started tweaking the rankings myself. I’m no expert, but I’ve been playing fantasy football for a while, so I have some, shall we say, strong opinions. I moved some players up, moved some down, based on what I’d read and what my gut was telling me.
Finally, I ended up with my own set of PPR rankings. Are they perfect? Heck no! But they’re mine, and I feel pretty good about them. It’s all about doing your research and trusting your instincts, right?
It was a bit of a grind, but hey, that’s fantasy football. Now, let’s go win some leagues!
