PPR vs Standard vs Half-PPR, in short

The only real difference between these three formats is how many fantasy points a reception itself is worth: PPR awards a full point per catch, Half-PPR awards half a point per catch, and Standard awards nothing for the catch itself — only for the yardage and touchdowns that follow it. Everything else about scoring (yardage, touchdowns, turnovers) is the same across all three.

Who gains and loses value in each format

• PPR boosts pass-catching running backs and high-target, possession-style receivers — a player with 8 catches for 60 yards can outscore a player with 1 catch for 90 yards.
• Standard favors rushing volume and big-play, deep-threat receivers, since receptions alone carry no direct point value.
• Half-PPR sits in between — reception volume still matters, just not as heavily as full PPR, which is why it's become the most common default format in newer leagues.

How to tell which one your league uses

Check your league's scoring settings for a "reception" or "per catch" point value — 1.0 is PPR, 0.5 is Half-PPR, and 0 (or no such setting at all) is Standard. RosterRx's rankings default to PPR since it's the most common format today; use the Standard toggle on the rankings page if your league scores differently.
