NFL Fantasy Football Draft cheat sheet 2023: Half PPR scoring format

Welcome to Marca’s NFL Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet 2023: 1/2 PPR Scoring edition. Our rankings have Patrick Mahomes (QB), Christian McCaffrey (RB), Ja’Marr Chase (WR), Travis Kelce (TE), Justin Tucker (K), and the San Francisco 49ers (D/ST) as the head of the NFL Fantasy Draft Class of 2023. However, pass-catching backs like Bijan Robinson get a huge boost, and he is second on the list for RBs. In .5 PPR scoring, the standings are similar to those found in full PPR, with some slight variations.

NFL Fantasy Draft Strategy: .5 PPR Scoring

In 1/2 PPR (half-point per reception) Scoring Leagues you get .5 points for each reception, so you will need to prioritize players that tend to catch lots of passes. In this format, pass-catching running backs are going to be a priority, as well as receivers who get lots of targets (even if they tend to make short gains).

Running backs like Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey (if they stay healthy), or receivers like Keenan Allen at are going to be ranked higher than in Standard Scoring due to being more target-prone. If your league allows it, I would start two RBs every week and use your flex position on a third receiver.

Don’t avoid red-zone threats either, as they can still make a big difference in getting you that needed win. In half PPR, however, you can afford to forego pass-catchers if a strong red zone threat appears past their ADP (Average Draft Position), like Derrick Henry, for example.

UPDATE: The Indianapolis Colts have decided to not trade away Jonathan Taylor. The franchise has also kept him on the PUP list, which means Taylor cannot be activated until Week 5. This list has been updated to reflect that.
