Im drafting in a PPR draft tomorrow, never done a PPR and would like some advice. Im also not used to possible playing 3 wr to 1 rb and vice versa. Would it be better for me to go WR first? Is there a strategy to the PPR draft? In my other league the QB TD was equal to all WR/RB TD, however this one is its only 4 pts to WR/RB 6pts per TD. Any advice or tips would be great.



Passing — QB RB WR TE K
Score 1 point per 25 yards passing.
Score 4 points per TD passing.
Score 1 point per 30 yards on a passing touchdown.
Score -2 points per interception thrown.
Score 2 points per 2-point conversion pass.
Rushing — QB RB WR TE K
Score 1 point per 10 yards rushing.
Score 6 points per TD rushing.
Score 1 point per 20 yards on a rushing touchdown.
Score 2 points per 2-point conversion rush.
Receiving — QB RB WR TE K
Score 1 point per reception.
Score 1 point per 10 yards receiving.
Score 6 points per TD receiving.
Score 1 point per 20 yards on a receiving touchdown.
Score 2 points per 2-point conversion reception.



A team may activate 1 QB, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 D. The following FlexLineup options are available when activating RBs and WRs:
1 RB / 3 WR
2 RB / 2 WR
3 RB / 1 WR
The maximum number of starters is 8.

The only consideration I would look at re PPR is some small RB rank adjustments. Otherwise use your normal strategy. Being able to start 3 WR and 1 RB is great for byes/ BAD Matchups only. Bump up WRs versus 2nd/3rd tier RBs

My strategy in ppr leagues is vastly different than basic leagues, especially with your roster flexibility. IMO, I would go WR's early and often. The draft will dictate this of course and don't ignore the RB's all together, but if others go RB heavy as normal sit back, grab the WR's and enjoy. Also, as you look for RB's later to balance your team remember the pass catching gems that can be had later like Ray Rice, Reggie Bush, & Felix Jones. The PPR element adds more depth to RB and makes WR's much more reliable and valuable.

Here is a resource that may be helpful, we are involved in the IBL, it involves 8 drafts in a ppr format. Here are the ADP's from those 8 drafts (12 owners each):
2009 Interboard Fantasy Football League Average Draft Position - Sports Outlaw Fantasy Football

Keep in mind, the owners in the league ended up being VERY WR heavy. But this is a nice guide.

As far as QB's, I tend to be a QB late guy myself.
