Updated Fantasy Football PPR Rankings 2024: Top 250 overall cheat sheet for fantasy drafts image

You're on the clock. The three players you had in your queue were all wiped out in the three picks right before you. The frustration is mounting. There's less than 60 seconds left on the clock. What do you do? I repeat, what do you do?! You consult your top 250 overall rankings for PPR drafts, that's what you do! 

Any fantasy analyst that says they've perfected their rankings is either delusional or dishonest. There's no way to successfully predict every injury, every off-field incident that results in suspensions, or every undrafted free agent that claws his way into a starting role. So, there's no way to perfect a set of rankings. 

DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: 2024 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet

The best anyone can do is update the rankings every time there's a piece of news that changes the landscape, and that's what you can expect here. So bookmark this and check back often as it's a living set of rankings that will be in flux leading right up to kickoff of the regular season. 

One last thing to remember; these rankings are just one tool from one analyst. We will often cite FantasyPros' consensus ADP rankings, and this set of rankings will likely look pretty off from that. And that's ok. For example, when these rankings were first published on Aug. 2, Derrick Henry had an ADP of 22 overall while being the RB10. We actually had him as our RB10 as well, but his overall ranking for us was 32. While I still think similarly of Henry in comparison to other rankers when it comes to just RBs, this shows that we valued 10 other players at other positions more.

And to show you how how these rankings are in constant flux as more and more drafts are taking place, in our Aug. 20 update, Henry jumped up to RB9 for us and No. 30 overall. While there was just minimal movement for him in our rankings, the public's view of him is shifting. Also on Aug. 20, the FantasyPros' consensus ADP rankings now show Henry as RB11 and No. 40 overall. Based on that type of movement, you may now be able to get Henry at a nice value, whereas previously, Henry wasn't worth the steep draft cost of going at No. 22 overall.

QB | RB | WR | TE | DEF/ST | K

On top of that, every analyst undoubtedly will have a few players that he or she is much higher on than consensus. This list is no different. A great example of that would be with Washington WR Terry McLaurin. According to those same consensus ADPs on Aug. 2, McLaurin was WR31 with an overall rank of 66. Here, he was ranked 43 overall as the 24th WR off the board. While McLaurin may have disappointed managers in the past, to say he's suffered from poor quarterback play is an understatement. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels isn't a lock to take the league by storm, but if he comes as advertised, it could mean big things for McLaurin this season. Give me the potential upside. 

And of course there are always plenty of tantalizing rookies to target later in the drafts. The great unknowns - so much promise, but so much potential to be a flop and never end up even being considered as a flex option. This year is no different as there are plenty of options to take fliers on later in drafts like New England's Ja'Lynn Polk, Carolina's Xavier Leggette, Tampa Bay's Jalen McMillan, and others. But with Jacoby Brissett/Drake Maye, Bryce Young and Baker Mayfield throwing them the ball, can you bank on them making an instant impact? 

Lastly, make sure you carefully check your league settings and make sure you know the scoring format. These are PPR (points per reception) rankings, but some leagues are Half PPR, and some others are Non PPR. And for some reason, even though PPR has become the most common format, Non PPR is still referred to as Standard. You'll also want to make sure you know exactly how many players you are drafting overall and also how many you are starting.

Some leagues will have three WR slots instead of two, but still allow you to play a WR in the Flex. In those types of drafts, you would want to put more emphasis on the WR position. Superflex leagues are becoming more popular every year, and those will often allow you to play a QB in the flex position, which means a bigger premium is placed on that position. So, know your settings, and then let the rankings guide you on your drafting journey.
