Okay, so I’ve been getting really into fantasy football lately, specifically PPR leagues. I wanted to up my game, so I decided to dig deep and figure out who the top players really are in this format. Here’s how I went about it:
Gearing Up
First, I needed to understand what makes a player valuable in PPR. It’s not just about touchdowns, it is all about the RECEPTIONS, so the running player who can catch a ball and make extra yards is the valuable player.
Finding My Resources
I started with basic player rankings from some of the big fantasy football websites, but the data which I get is too sample, so, I just got the general idea from these websites.
Crunching the Numbers
I grabbed season stats for a bunch of players – receptions, receiving yards, rushing yards, touchdowns, all that good stuff.I wanted to see how consistent they were week to week, not just their total season numbers.
Putting It All Together
- Focus on Targets: The more a player is targeted, the more chances they have to rack up those precious receptions.
- Running Backs Who Catch:These guys are gold in PPR. They get points for both rushing and receiving.
- Consistency is Key: I’d rather have a player who consistently gets 5-6 catches a game than someone who explodes one week and disappears the next.
After all this digging and calculating, and I created my own “Top Players” for this PPR, and I found it so much fun! Hope you can also find your fun!
