PPR Fantasy Football Leagues and DROPS

Point-per reception leagues are extremely popular variations of standard fantasy football leagues. These PPR leagues most often score one point per each reception made. It is a fun and exciting variant on the traditional game, and has a long tradition of its own.

Drafting for PPR leagues is a bit different because of this one extra point per catch. Determing at what point TDs and yardage is worth more than dink-and-dunk grabs is one reason for the intrigue. It takes a bit more thought, as well as knowledge of stats, NFL team gameplans, and so on, to succeed in a PPR league. Too much emphasis on chasing receptions inevitably leads to letting other talent go by, but at the same time if you ignore the PPR, you're going to be angry when the 6 receptions for 40 yards stat line beats your TD and 30 yards. PPR is, in a way, a whole different beast.

If you're familiar with PPR leagues, I've already said too much, so let me get to the point. That is, to the MINUS one point. I believe that in PPR leagues any dropped pass should be a negative (-1). If a player is going to be rewarded for a catch, most of which are routine grabs, he should as well be penalized for failing to snag catchable passes. A drop should cost you.

Most fantasy league hosts do not yet offer a minus one. When it becomes an option I will utilize it for some leagues. It's now June, so I'll start setting up more leagues soon.
