What is PPR in fantasy football?
PPR (Points Per Reception) is a scoring format that awards one fantasy point for every catch, on top of yardage and touchdown points.
PPR (Points Per Reception)/P-P-R, or "pee-pee-are"/
In PPR scoring, every catch is worth one point in addition to standard yardage and touchdown scoring.
A running back who catches 8 passes for 50 yards and rushes for 60 yards scores 8 + 5 + 6 = 19 points in PPR, versus 11 in standard. That extra reception scoring is why pass-catching backs and slot receivers are far more valuable in PPR than in non-PPR leagues.
PPR is the most popular scoring format in modern fantasy football. It rewards volume and consistency, which is why receivers and dual-threat running backs get drafted earlier in PPR than they would in standard leagues.
