What is PPR?

In fantasy football, "PPR" stands for "Points Per Reception." PPR is a scoring system commonly used in fantasy leagues to assign points to players based on their receptions (catches) in addition to other statistics like yards gained and touchdowns scored.
In a standard scoring system, players typically earn points for yards gained and touchdowns scored, with no additional points awarded for receptions. However, in PPR leagues, each reception by a player earns them an extra point, hence the term "Points Per Reception."
The rationale behind using PPR scoring is to add more value to players who are heavily involved in their team's passing game, particularly wide receivers and pass-catching running backs. By awarding points for receptions, PPR leagues place a premium on players who consistently catch passes, regardless of whether those receptions result in significant yardage gains or touchdowns.
For example, in a PPR league, a wide receiver who catches 10 passes for 80 yards would earn more fantasy points compared to a wide receiver who catches 3 passes for 100 yards in a standard scoring system.
PPR scoring adds an extra layer of strategy to fantasy football drafts and lineup decisions, as managers must consider not only a player's ability to gain yardage and score touchdowns but also their involvement in the passing game.

Add bonuses!

Here are some common types of bonuses used in PPR fantasy football leagues:

Reception Bonuses: Some leagues may award bonuses for players who reach a specific number of receptions in a game or season. For example, a bonus of 1 point might be awarded for every 5 receptions beyond a certain threshold (e.g., 100 receptions).
Yardage Bonuses: Extra points can be awarded to players who accumulate a certain amount of yards in a game or season. For instance, a bonus of 1 point might be given for every 100 yards gained by a player beyond a predetermined threshold (e.g., 200 yards).
Touchdown Bonuses: Bonuses may be awarded for players who score multiple touchdowns in a single game or achieve a certain number of touchdowns in a season. For example, a bonus of 2 points might be given for every touchdown scored beyond the third touchdown in a game.
Long Play Bonuses: Some leagues provide bonuses for long plays, such as receptions or runs over a specific yardage threshold (e.g., 40 yards). Players who make big plays are rewarded with additional points on top of their standard scoring.
