FantasyHQ+

PPR vs half-PPR vs standard is the biggest league-setting decision that changes fantasy draft boards. PPR = 1 point per catch. Half-PPR = 0.5 per catch. Standard = no reception points. FantasyHQ stores all three formats for every position — switch the scoring pills on WR rankings before you draft.

TE High-target TEs matter more Moderate bump for volume TEs Red-zone / TD profile wins

Frequently asked questions

What is PPR in fantasy football?

PPR (point per reception) awards 1 fantasy point for every catch, on top of yards and touchdowns. It boosts high-target WRs, pass-catching RBs, and volume TEs versus standard scoring.

What is half-PPR scoring?

Half-PPR awards 0.5 fantasy points per reception. It is a compromise between full PPR and standard — receivers still rise, but early-down rushers keep more of their value.

What is standard fantasy football scoring?

Standard (non-PPR) scoring uses yards and touchdowns only — no points for catches. Workhorse RBs and red-zone scorers rise; possession/slot receivers fall compared with PPR.

Does PPR change QB, K, or DST rankings?

Usually very little. Reception points apply to skill players who catch passes, so QB, kicker, and DST boards stay nearly identical across PPR, half-PPR, and standard.

How do I match FantasyHQ rankings to my league scoring?

Open any FantasyHQ position rankings board, then select the PPR, Half PPR, or Standard pill so the board matches your league. Do not draft from a PPR board if your league is half-PPR or standard.
