Alright, guys, so I decided to get my hands dirty with PPR fantasy football rankings this season. You know, trying to get an edge and all that. Here’s how it all went down, step-by-step.
First, I grabbed a bunch of ranking lists from different websites. Just wanted to see what the “experts” were saying, you know? It was a mess. Everyone had different opinions, different top players. Total chaos!
Then, I dug into some stats. I looked at receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns – the usual stuff. But for PPR, those receptions are gold, baby! I really focused on players who get a ton of targets, even if they aren’t always breaking huge plays.
Making My Own List
So, I created my own spreadsheet (yeah, I’m that guy). I put in all the players I was considering and started sorting them based on a mix of the expert rankings and my own stats research.
- Column 1: Player Name (obviously)
- Column 2: Expert Ranking Average (took the average from those sites I found)
- Column 3: Projected Receptions (this is where my stat digging came in)
- Column 4: Projected Receiving Yards
- Column 5: Projected Touchdowns
- Column 6: My “Gut Feeling” Score (gotta trust your instincts, right?)
After crunching all that, my own, personalized, kinda-sorta-scientific PPR rankings were coming in. I mean, no one really knows what’s going to happen, but it felt good to have a system, you know?
Finally, I compared my rankings to the average draft position (ADP) data I could find. This helped me spot potential value picks – guys who were ranked higher on my list than where they were typically being drafted. Those are the hidden gems you need to win your league!
It was a bit of work, a bit messy, but I think I learned a thing or two about it. All ready for next year’s draft to try to win the whole thing!
