Updated 2019 Fantasy PPR Rankings: Top 200 cheat sheet image

Standard fantasy football leagues just sound boring, don't they? "Standard" -- who likes that? Scoring lots of points just makes things more fun -- even the real NFL knows it -- so playing in a PPR league is, by definition, more fun. (Science.) To really maximize that fun, you need a good Top 200 PPR rankings for your 2019 fantasy cheat sheet. Sure, you also need a good draft strategy and list of sleepers and all that, but a Top 200 big board is where it all begins -- and ends.

The main differences between a PPR Top 200 and a standard Top 200 can be seen in the slight devaluation of QBs (and, to a lesser extent, D/STs) and the obvious rise in values of high-target pass-catchers, particularly running backs who can catch and score. The quarterbacks will be in the same order, but obviously they can't score any additional points in PPR while the pass-catchers can.

DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2019 Fantasy Cheat Sheet

Of course, once the season gets going, those in PPR leagues face the same challenges as those in standard leagues: Injuries, inconsistency, tough matchups, etc. Don't overthink things too much, especially if this is your first season playing PPR. Yes, you need to look at target/reception totals and pay more attention to guys like Tarik Cohen, James White, Julian Edelman, Golden Tate, and the rest of the usual suspects, but TDs are still worth six while receptions are worth one (or 0.5), so keep that in mind.
