I’ve been reading up on how different scoring systems can impact draft strategy, but it still seems a bit confusing. How should I approach building my team in a PPR league versus a standard league, and what types of players should I prioritize in each format?

That’s spot-on advice. In PPR leagues, it’s all about volume. Players like slot receivers and pass-catching backs who may not rack up a ton of yards but see a lot of targets can be real difference-makers. Meanwhile, in standard leagues, you’ll want to prioritize players who get a lot of touchdowns and yardage, even if they don’t see as many receptions. Understanding your league’s scoring rules is essential because it completely changes the value of certain players. For example, a wide receiver who consistently catches five short passes per game could be more valuable in PPR than a deep-threat receiver who only catches two long passes. Always draft with the scoring system in mind!
The scoring format definitely makes a big difference in how you should draft. In a PPR (points per reception) league, pass-catching running backs and wide receivers with high target volumes are gold because every catch adds to their total points. On the other hand, in a standard scoring league, yardage and touchdowns are more important. To help you navigate these different strategies, I recommend reading this fantasy football guide https://www.connectedtoindia.com/unlock-fantasy-football-success-strategies-for-the-modern-manager/. It breaks down how to adapt your draft strategy based on the scoring system, so you can make the most informed decisions when drafting players. In PPR leagues, don’t hesitate to reach for high-volume receivers, even if their yardage isn’t the highest.
