After further consideration, I realize not every fantasy player plays PPR leagues. And some stick around in the dark ages and play in standard scoring leagues. Yeah I said it! I’ve been playing in PPR leagues since 2011 before all the cool kids started playing and fantasy apps made PPR their primary format. So I’ll be a little elitist about doing something before it became trendy. OH I’M SAYING IT! Don’t like it? @ me then!!!!
I’m just teasing. I still play in one standard league to remember yesteryear. Though there are bonuses so the scoring is extremely high unless your player has an awful day. Or lacks explosive plays. Here are my rankings for non-ppr scoring leagues. It’s similar to my previous rankings, but with a few players devalued due to their increased value in the other format. Specifically with the backs and receivers.
