Okay, so, I wanted to get into fantasy football this year, specifically with PPR scoring. I’ve heard it’s a blast, but I had zero clue where to start. First thing I did was search for some PPR rankings. I mean, that’s the foundation, right? You gotta know who the top dogs are.
After looking at a few different sites, I started to see some patterns. Certain players were consistently ranked high, while others were all over the place. I made a simple list of the guys that kept popping up at the top – the surefire studs, as I started calling them.
- There was this one running back, consistently in the top 5, known for catching a ton of passes.
- Then, a couple of wide receivers that everyone seemed to agree were going to be point-scoring machines.
- Even a tight end made the list, which surprised me because I thought they were mostly blockers.
Next, I started looking at the mid-tier players. This is where things got tricky. There were so many different opinions! I tried to focus on players on good offenses, figuring they’d have more chances to score. I also paid attention to guys who were the clear number one option on their team. Less competition for targets, you know?

I then dove into some articles and podcasts. I wanted to understand why certain players were ranked where they were. I learned about things like offensive schemes, quarterback tendencies, and even injury histories. It was a lot to take in, but it really helped me get a better feel for the players.
After all that research, I finally felt ready to make my own rankings. I took the consensus rankings I found, tweaked them based on my gut feelings and the extra info I gathered, and boom – I had my own personalized PPR cheat sheet! It wasn’t perfect, but it was a great starting point.
I’m still not sure how I will do in my fantasy league, and also I’ve already started thinking about adjustments I want to make. But I feel way more confident now than when I started. It’s been a fun learning experience, and I’m excited to see how my “expert” analysis pans out!
