PPR Fantasy Leaders

Fantasy Football Scoring Leaders PPR scoring

The Fantasy Football Scoring leaders table displays the fantasy scoring results from the previous season for every single player in the NFL. 

It displays average fantasy points per game, total fantasy points scored, and game by game fantasy point production. 

You can search for a player via the search bar function, or sort the players via position (QB, RB, WR, TE, FLEX). You can also sort the players from top to bottom (or vice versa) in any of the previously mentioned categories to quickly determine the leaders. 

Why do we separate this data by scoring format? 

Fantasy football scoring can take many different forms. The most common three types of scoring in redraft and best ball leagues tends to be standard (no points per reception), 0.5 PPR (0.5 points per reception) and PPR (1.0 point per reception). 

PPR scoring has grown in popularity over the past decade as a way to properly recognize the contribution that WRs and TEs make on offense. Since even the most heavily targeted receivers will often only average 8-9 receptions a game, that still places them well behind many top RBs (who will often touch the ball 20+ times per game) in terms of usage. 

PPR looks to make up this difference in the scoring by rewarding anyone who catches the ball with a full fantasy point. This in turn, makes top WRs and TEs, who receive a large percentage of their team’s target share, far more valuable fantasy commodities – and far more valuable than they would be in a standard league, where they would receive no points for a reception. Even in 0.5 PPR leagues the upside potential for a receiver is far greater just given the small reward they receive for catching a ball. 

Receivers with low aDOTs and little TD upside can still often produce decent fantasy performances in PPR scoring just due to volume alone, making those sorts of players good bye week fill-ins or potential late-round draft targets on sites that use 0.5 PPR and full-PPR scoring in best ball. 

PPR scoring also boosts the scoring potential for RBs who have a clear passing game role. In a standard league, TDs are the main way that RBs and skill players can land big upside weeks. However, RBs who also act as a receiving threat out of the backfield have far more potential in PPR scoring. In 2022, Austin Ekeler was the top fantasy RB in PPR scoring, but only ranked fourth among RBs in standard scoring, showing the huge difference his receiving role made in one format vs the next. 

The top fantasy RB performance of all-time, LaDainian Tomlinson, scored 483.1 PPR points in 2006, which was 56.0 points more than his total that year in standard scoring thanks to the 56 receptions he took in. 

Below are tables listing the top scorers from every position in PPR scoring from 2022 with a list of where they finished for fantasy football in 0.5 PPR scoring and standard scoring as well.
