PPR vs Non-PPR (Standard)

   It’s been a Fantasy Football argument for quite some time now. The PPR League, vs. The Non-PPR League. Let me just state, that there are valid arguments to be made for both sides. Personally, I find myself in the middle and  simply combat this situation by settling in on a .5 ppr setting.

 

   The Non-PPR side will usually say that “catching the football” is part of the game, and RB’s catching a little dunk pass should not be rewarded for such a thing.  I actually agree with that; however, the same RB that catches the errant bad pass by a QB under pressure, should be rewarded.

    I hear of people who don’t like the PPR scoring simply because they don’t like the “high scoring” leagues. Huh? I could never understand that. Am I missing something here? The rules, and scoring are always set in stone prior to any drafts I have ever been in. With that said, everybody has to play under the same system. Who cares if the total points every week are on the high side, or the low side?It really makes no difference. 

  Let’s go back to my .5 PPR setting. Another thing I like about it is having fractional points. It makes tie scores almost impossible. I found that when presenting this case to my fellow Fantasy players, whether fans of Standard or PPR, they ultimately agree that the .5 ppr is the way to go.

Good Luck to all of you!
