Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings - PPR QB Scoring (2024)

FAQs

How do quarterbacks score points in fantasy football PPR? ›

QB Scoring Is Slightly Different for Other Players

Due to the passing yardage a quarterback can put up in a given week, their stats tend to be tweaked the most in fantasy scoring systems. For the majority of leagues, it's one fantasy point for every 25 passing yards (0.04 per yard).

Only in Point-Per-Reception (PPR) leagues do WRs have a larger span of values than QBs. Only in PPR leagues is there also evidence to support the theory that “all QBs score around the same number of points.” In non-PPR leagues, elite QBs should be drafted before starting on the wide receiver pool.

Round 2, Picks 18-20: Draft a quarterback or wide receiver

At this stage, wide receiver depth is strong, but securing a quarterback with one of these picks is crucial. If one isn't selected now, there's a risk of missing out on the top four quarterbacks, and none would offer good value at the next turn.

Most fantasy football formats award fantasy points for yards gained by any offensive player. The most common format is 0.1 points per rushing or receiving yard, also displayed as 1 point per 10 yards rushing or receiving.

When you get to the level of PPR performance where one player basically wins you the week, 30+ points, a WR is almost twice as likely to do it than a RB. No need to go further with this. It's always going to be true that WRs are more explosive than RBs in PPR.

Among first-rounders, 49% of running backs returned top-10 positional value, compared to 60% for the wide receivers, quarterbacks and tight ends. Running backs selected in the first three rounds, meanwhile, returned top-10 value 47% of the time, compared to 50% for the other three positions.

Unless your league allows you to start more than three receivers, you'll need to draft at least one early RB.

Most fantasy football quarterback rankings will start with Josh Allen at No. 1, then Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson round out a "Big Four" at the position. The Bills' standout has finished as a top QB2 in each of the past four seasons and rushed for a career-best 15 TDs in 2023.

Most Fantasy Points Ever By A Quarterback

When it comes to the quarterback position, Michael Vick has the single-game record for fantasy points. On November 15, 2010, Vick had 49.32 fantasy points vs Washington. Vick had six total touchdowns in the game in one of the best performances by an NFL player.

For example, if your league settings give one point for every 25 passing yards, your quarterback will earn four points if he throws for 124 yards. Standard: This is the classic fantasy football format.

Point Per Reception (ESPN Standard)

In PPR leagues, each player in your starting lineup receives points per every reception. Each reception is worth 1 point in ESPN Standard leagues and can be customized in custom leagues.

Balanced Scoring:

1.5 pts – punt attempt. 1 pt – within 20 yards. 1 pt – within 10 yards (in addition to within 20 yards) -1 pt – touchback (note: MFL doesn't have a metric Touchback)

As scoring moves away from full PPR, quarterbacks will dominate the leaderboards in scoring even more. As more advantages are given to the skill positions, expect to see a more even distribution among the league's top scorers.
