Our League just changed to a PPR League (1 Viewer)

[Loopdog]

My 12 team keeper league just changed to a PPR league

we already give bonus points for long td's as well

who takes the biggest jump in value? I would imagine guys like LaDanian are more valuable now than Alexander since he catches many more passes....but what about WR's?

Does it make that much of a difference between the top guys?

Prob not, but TE's will move up the board. Gonzo is one who you should target as he gets a lot of them....Last years TD's for him was a bust but his receptions and yardage were there.

Go to Dodds projections by position, print them out and then add in receptions.I am not clear from reading your question whether you are looking for who scores the most points or who has more value relative to the draft.

It will also depend on your league's position requirements

Guys like Brian Westbrook take a huge jump in PPR ...

 

[Mystery Achiever]

offhand, i'd say tomlinson, tiki, and westbrook for rb's. for wr's someone like Mason, who didn't score a lot but had a lot of receptions was much more valuable in ppr.

TIKI also , jumps up the rankings

Jordan was a top5 RB last year in PPR.

RB Depth can also become key. Guys who are usually 3rd down RBs who get a lot of receptions become useful bye week fill ins. Players like Kevin Faulk or Shawn Bryson become valuable when needed (esp. in late rounds for depth).

Chris Perry is another one.

In PPR leagues, WRs become more valuable. But, I see many owners jump on the top 2-3 WRs earlier than I would. In a VBD environment, a 1st round WR (Fitz) and 2nd round RB (Willis) has less value than a 1st round RB (Jordan) and 2nd round WR (Holt).

Also, there are several mid round bargain WRs like Mason and Driver that are absolute steals. In addition, a WR like Houshmandzadeh surprises. Last year, Housh was WR14 in PPR. Driver, surprisingly, was WR8. I would prefer having RB depth, which is undervalued in PPR leagues. I feel that you can get value WRs easier than RBs.

One last thing. I see Gates as way underrated in PPR leagues. His 80+ receptions, 1000+ yds, and 10+ TDs gives your team a huge advantage each week.

I think Westbrook and Reggie Bush get the biggest bump from non-PPR to PPR this year.

 

[nightshift]

post your scoring system. without seeing it, I can't really say...

 

[mizeners]

Ours is a PPR league and last year, I drafted Westbrook, DDavis, and LJordan. I had up/down WRs and Qbs, lost Javon Walker, and still made it to the superbowl. Plugging your league settings into the DD, you can really see where these guys jump in the rankings. Some of the guys in my league fail to compensate for the receptions so this year will give you a good idea who is really looking at strategy versus who just prints out a standard cheatsheet.

If you have an early pick, don't pass up an LJ, LT or SA just because their receptions are a little lower. But if you are drafting at the end of the round, you might be able to pick up 2 of the 3. Then draft consistent WR and TE that get lots of receptions, and wait on your QB until most of league has taken one. You will almost be guaranteed a playoff spot and most likely a shot at the title. I've used this strategy for the last 5 years and it always worked out well. Just my 2 cents...

 

[Loopdog]

this is actually a keeper league and we keep 7 a season, so it was just a scoring change we just added

our scoring is:

QB - 6 pts per td 1 pt for every 25 yards passing bonus points for long TD's

RB 1 pt per 10 yards rushing/recieving 6 per td bonus points for long TD's

WR 1 pt per 10 yards recieving bonus points for long TD's

and now 1 pt per reception

the bonus points are fairly significant

a 60 yard TD for a RB or WR is like 22 points

6 for the TD, 6 for the yardage and then another 10 for the bonus

there are some high scoring games as im sure you can tell, but there are still teams that score in the 60's every week, i guess its all depending on who you draft

thanks for the links above guys, very helpful as usual

Two of the three who?

I assume he meant Westbrook, DDavis, or LJordan

Well sure. Holt >> Fitz and Jordan >> Willis.But I agree, don't take a WR in the first round.

 

[MLBrandow]

Westbrook/LT/DD/Cadillac see a big increase in value (probably in that order).

PPR makes WRs and TEs much more valuable, almost to the point where one must take an elite WR in the 1/2.

You say it like it is assumed. In most PPR initial dynasty drafts Holt is drafted after Fitz, Smith, and Johnson.ETA: I realize that the other WRs are younger, but I see a ton of tread left on Holt.

Somone in my main league has just proposed adding PPR, so I've been thinking about this topic. In doing a quick comparison of the current FBG cheatsheets--looking at the PPR versions vs. the non-PPR versions--it doesn't look like TE/WRs go up that much--1-3 spots for the top guys. I assume this is because the top WRs have a similar number of catches, in the 80-95 range.

It looks to me like the three big impacts are as follows:

1) RBs who catch a lot of passes jump a lot--Westbrook, Lamont, LT, Reggie Bush (more than likely).

2) The VBD for top RBs, WRs, and TEs goes up quite a bit--so a first round pick becomes more valuable relative to lower rounds.

3) QBs drop quite a bit because of (2). The VBD of players at the other positions goes up, while the VBD for QBs stays constant.

Yes Derrick Mason is money in a PPR league, especially now that McNair is throwing to him again.It also tilts the balance to pass catching RB's like Westbrook, DD, and Lamont Jordan and diminishes the value of guys like Jamal Lewis, Corey Dillon, or McGahee.

it's called the draft dominator - check it out.Us.

Not sure that Cadillac fits with the other three, he had 20 catches for 81 yards last year.
