what is ppr

PPR stands for "point per reception" and is a scoring system used in fantasy football. In PPR leagues, players are rewarded either a half point or a full point per catch, making catches a bigger part of the NFL and a category that needs to be rewarded. The standard scoring system in fantasy football did not award any points for a reception, but PPR has become the new "standard". PPR makes wide receivers and pass-catching running backs more valuable because of the additional points they can earn for receptions. The number of points awarded per reception can vary between leagues, so its important to check with the league manager to see how many points a reception is worth before drafting.
