Half PPR (half point per reception) is a scoring format in fantasy football that combines elements of both standard scoring and full point per reception (PPR) scoring. In this format, players are awarded 0.5 points for each reception they make during a game. Half PPR is considered a middle ground between PPR and standard non-PPR formats, offering a balance between the two.
The main difference between half PPR and full PPR is the number of points awarded for receptions. In full PPR, players receive 1 point for each reception, while in half PPR, they receive only 0.5 points. This slight adjustment can have a significant impact on player performance and scoring.
Half PPR is preferred by many experts because it aligns more closely with real-game impact, providing a scoring format that is more reflective of player performance on the field. It also tends to shrink the field of players slightly more than PPR, while still giving value to both running backs and wide receivers.
