PPR vs Half-PPR vs Standard: Which Scoring Changes Your Draft

The most common draft mistake is using PPR rankings in a standard league. Scoring format is the lens every player value passes through — get it wrong and you’re drafting the wrong players in the wrong order.

The one rule that changes: receptions

  • Standard: no points for catches. Touchdown-dependent, volume-heavy runners rise.
  • Half-PPR: 0.5 points per reception. The moderate middle ground most leagues use.
  • Full PPR: 1 point per reception. Pass-catching backs and high-target receivers surge.

Who moves in PPR

Players who catch a lot of passes gain the most:

  • Pass-catching running backs leap up boards.
  • High-volume slot receivers become weekly floors.
  • Touchdown-or-bust runners lose relative value.

Draft for your exact format

Rankings that don’t match your scoring are noise. The Cheat Sheet re-ranks the entire board for PPR, half-PPR, standard, and superflex the moment you set your league — so tiers and targets reflect your points, not a generic list.
