2026 Half PPR Fantasy Football Draft Rankings — SOS Edge
Half-PPR rewards reception volume without over-inflating it. These rankings pair 0.5-per-reception scoring with the schedule-adjusted SOS Edge for balanced draft values across every position.
How half-PPR scoring affects draft strategy
Half-PPR awards 0.5 points per reception — halfway between standard (0.0) and full PPR (1.0). It rewards reception volume without over-inflating slot receivers and pass-catching running backs the way full PPR does. The result is a more balanced format where every-down workloads and efficiency matter alongside raw catch totals.
The SOS Edge is format-independent — it measures opponent schedule difficulty. We then layer half-PPR scoring onto the same Monte Carlo projections. Full methodology on the methodology page.
Half-PPR vs full PPR vs standard
In half-PPR, a 5-catch, 50-yard WR scores 7.5 points (vs 10 in full PPR, 5 in standard). Pass-catching RBs and slot WRs still gain value over standard but by less than full PPR. The middle format favors balanced, every-down players over reception-only specialists.
Position-specific half-PPR values: QB, RB, WR, TE. For full PPR values see PPR rankings; for dynasty multi-year values see dynasty rankings.
