To start playing fantasy football in a PPR (Points Per Reception) league, you should first understand the league’s rules and scoring system, then draft your team focusing on players who excel in catching passes, since receptions earn points in PPR formats. Begin by prioritizing wide receivers and running backs who catch a lot of passes, as they maximize your PPR scoring potential. For example, in early draft rounds, target top pass-catching players like elite wide receivers and versatile running backs who contribute significantly to their team’s passing game.
After drafting, each week set your lineup by choosing players with the best matchups and recent performance, often using "start/sit" tools or expert advice to guide decisions on who to start in your PPR lineup.
Key steps to start fantasy football in PPR:
- Learn your league's scoring settings.
- Draft a balanced team, focusing on pass-catching skill, especially with receivers and running backs.
- Use draft strategies that value receptions heavily, drafting top receivers early and pass-catching backs slightly later.
- Set your lineup weekly by evaluating player matchups, health, and expert "start/sit" recommendations.
- Engage with tools and rankings to make informed weekly decisions.
This approach helps you maximize your points each week and improves your chances to win in PPR fantasy leagues.
