A PPR league is a type of fantasy football league where players receive points for each reception they make during a game. The acronym PPR stands for "point per reception". In PPR leagues, players who catch more passes are more valuable than in standard leagues, where players do not receive extra points for catching the ball. PPR leagues can be full-point PPR, where each reception is worth one point, or half-point PPR, where each reception is worth 0.5 points. The popularity of PPR leagues has increased in recent years due to the NFL becoming more pass-oriented, with wide receivers and pass-catching running backs becoming bigger threats. In PPR leagues, managers will often target players who get lots of receptions, making wide receivers and running backs who receive passes more valuable.
