Updated Fantasy PPR Rankings 2022: Top 200 cheat sheet for fantasy football drafts image

The best thing about the rankings below is that you already know you’re not going to like them, yet you’re still going to look at them. Fantasy football owners can’t help themselves this time of year – you put rankings in front of us; we'll read them. Then we’ll make fun of them. Whether it’s because our favorite sleepers are too low or a certain injury-prone player who’s bound to bust is too high, we’re never going to be satisfied. Hell, we’re not even fully satisfied with our own 2022 Top 200 fantasy PPR rankings, but we know cheat sheets aren’t complete without them, so we forge ahead.

Why aren't we fully satisfied? How could we be? We know injuries, disappointments, and surprise breakouts will happen, and no matter how high of a average you have in predicting these things, you’re never going to bat 1.000.

2022 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers | Top 200 | Superflex

That’s why getting different perspectives is so important. Not only will it help inform your picks, but perhaps more important, it will also give you an idea of others' draft strategies. If we have a player ranked significantly higher or lower than you do, chances are we’re not the only ones.

2022 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers | Superflex

PPR leagues are becoming more “standard” than “standard” leagues, so most of the default rankings in your draft app will have some level of a PPR component to them. Still, it’s important to know for sure, just like it’s important to understand that you shouldn’t overvalue catches just because it’s a PPR league. Obviously, QBs and D/STs aren’t quite as valuable, as there are simply more points available for RBs, WRs, and TEs, but touchdowns are still the most important thing in fantasy football. Don’t disregard big-time scorers too much just because they don’t get many targets.

2022 RANKINGS TIERS & DRAFT STRATEGY:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs

The differences between our standard and PPR big board start at No. 2. Derrick Henry holds that spot down in standard, but in PPR leagues, we like Najee Harris. Henry is still top 10, though, so don’t get carried away in downgrading him. The differences are marginal when it comes to top-tier players, but they’re still enough to affect the rankings, even in half-PPR formats.

2022 AUCTION VALUES (Standard & PPR):
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers | Overall

Bigger differences (and disagreements) can be found further down the list. Rookies, players on new teams, or potential breakouts in revamped offenses all spark debate in fantasy circles. Regardless of where you fall on certain players, becoming familiar with different perspectives will help your overall draft prep – which in turn will help you win a fantasy title.

2022 FANTASY SLEEPERS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | One from each team

As injuries, preseason developments, and more alter the fantasy landscape throughout the preseason, these Top 200 PPR rankings will be adjusted constantly right up until Week 1, so check back for frequent updates.
