Fantasy Football PPR Projection Calculator
Project a skill player’s fantasy points in PPR scoring from receptions, yards, touchdowns and turnovers — with the half-PPR total alongside.
How it works
PPR = receptions × 1 + (rec + rush yards) × 0.1 + TD × 6 − fumbles lost × 2 · Half-PPR uses 0.5 per reception · Standard drops the reception points
PPR (points per reception) fantasy scoring adds one point for every catch on top of standard yardage and touchdown points, which boosts pass-catching backs and high-volume receivers relative to touchdown-dependent players. This uses the common skill-position formula: a point per reception, a point for every 10 scrimmage yards, six points per touchdown, and a two-point penalty for a lost fumble. Half-PPR splits the difference at half a point per catch — the format many leagues now default to.
Worked example
A running back catches 6 passes for 70 yards, adds 20 rushing yards and scores once. Yardage = (70 + 20) × 0.1 = 9 points, the touchdown adds 6, and 6 receptions add 6, for 21.0 PPR points (18.0 in half-PPR, 15.0 in standard).
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PPR, half-PPR and standard?
They differ only in how catches are scored: full PPR gives 1 point per reception, half-PPR gives 0.5, and standard (non-PPR) gives none. Yardage and touchdown scoring are identical, so pass-catchers gain the most value as you move toward full PPR.
Why do running backs matter more in PPR?
Backs who catch a lot of passes out of the backfield rack up receptions, and each one is worth a full point in PPR. That makes third-down and pass-catching backs far more valuable in PPR than in standard scoring.
Does this include quarterback passing points?
No. This projects a skill player (running back, wide receiver or tight end) using rushing and receiving stats. Quarterback scoring uses passing yards and passing touchdowns on a different scale, so use a dedicated QB projection for signal-callers.
