What is PPR in fantasy football?
PPR stands for points per reception: every catch is worth one extra fantasy point on top of yardage and touchdowns.
How it works in your league
PPR scoring lifts pass-catching running backs, slot receivers and tight ends who see a lot of short targets, because volume alone pays. Half-PPR gives half a point per catch, and standard scoring gives none. Check your league's setting before you trust any ranking, which is why every table on this site has a PPR / Standard toggle.
