What Is PPR in Fantasy Football?

PPR means point per reception. In a full-PPR fantasy league, a player receives one fantasy point for every completed catch.

A receiver who catches eight passes earns eight reception points before points for receiving yards and touchdowns are added. This raises the weekly value of players who consistently earn targets, including possession receivers, pass-catching running backs, and high-volume tight ends.

PPR does not eliminate the importance of yards or touchdowns. It adds another scoring path and can give frequently targeted players a steadier floor. Exact rules may vary, so confirm whether your league uses full-PPR, half-PPR, or standard scoring before drafting or comparing rankings.
