Every draft guide opens the same way: first, know your scoring format. Then it sells you a separate board for each one.
We were about to do the same thing, so we checked first. We ran all 153 draftable players — everyone inside consensus ADP 180 — through standard, half-PPR and full PPR, and compared where each one lands at his own position in each format.
The answer is that the board barely moves.
The numbers
Measured on the live 2026 board, comparing each format against half-PPR:
| Going from half-PPR to… | Average move | Players who move at all | Quarterbacks who move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full PPR | 0.39 spots | 41 of 152 | 0 of 21 |
| Standard | 0.71 spots | 63 of 153 | 0 of 21 |
Those are positional spots on our published board — the rank we actually show you. On the raw model rank, before it is anchored to consensus ADP, the moves are larger but still small: 1.01 spots to full PPR and 1.38 to standard.
Read the middle column again. In full PPR, 111 of 152 draftable players do not move at all. In standard, 90 of 153 stay exactly where they were.
And not a single quarterback moves in either direction, in either format. That one is obvious once you say it out loud — quarterbacks do not catch passes — but it means a third of the early rounds in a superflex league are entirely format-proof.
Half-PPR sits in the middle on purpose
This is why our default board is half-PPR, and why we do not publish it three times. Half-PPR sits almost exactly between the other two, so it is never more than a nudge away from whatever your league plays. The distance from half-PPR to full PPR is 0.39 spots; the distance from half-PPR to standard is 0.71. The full span from standard to full PPR is roughly one positional spot for the average player.
If you are in a standard league and you use a half-PPR board, you are not wrong about anyone. You are, at most, slightly early on a few receivers.
The exceptions, by name
The averages hide the interesting part. A handful of players really do move, and they move for a reason you can state in one sentence.
In full PPR, the volume guys climb. Wan'Dale Robinson gains 4 spots at his position. Michael Pittman gains 3. Chris Godwin Jr., Josh Downs and Khalil Shakir each gain 2. These are the high-target, low-yards-per-catch receivers — the ones whose value is in the number of catches, not what happens after them. Full PPR pays for each of those catches, so up they go.
The other direction in full PPR: Rome Odunze falls 3, and DK Metcalf, Alec Pierce, Quentin Johnston and Michael Wilson each fall 2. Big-play receivers with fewer, longer catches. Same logic, reversed.
In standard, the big-play guys hold up. Mike Evans gains 5 spots. Jayden Reed and Jordan Addison gain 4 each. Alec Pierce and Brian Thomas Jr. gain 3. Blake Corum, a low-catch back, gains 2.
And the fallers in standard are exactly the players who gained in full PPR, which is the tell that the effect is real and not noise: Carnell Tate drops 9, Wan'Dale Robinson drops 6, Michael Pittman drops 4.
Wan'Dale Robinson is the single most format-sensitive player on the board — 4 spots up in full PPR, 6 spots down in standard, a 10-spot swing at his position across the full range. If you want one name to remember, it is his.
One honest correction
Our own 2026 Market Guide gives the rule of thumb this way: "if you play full PPR, nudge the pass-catching backs and slot receivers up a round."
The direction is right. The magnitude is generous. A round is 12 picks, and the largest positional move we measured in either direction is 9 spots — for one player, at the extreme end. The average is under one. "Nudge them up a few spots" is the honest version, and we would rather correct our own book than let you draft off a number we did not check.
What to actually do
- Use the half-PPR board unless your league is at an extreme. It is the closest single board to every format, by construction.
- If you play full PPR, move the high-target, short-catch receivers up a couple of spots at their position. Not a round.
- If you play standard, do the reverse: the big-play receivers and low-catch backs hold value better than a PPR-flavoured board suggests.
- Ignore the format entirely for quarterbacks. It does not touch them.
- Do not pay for a separate board. The whole difference between the three, for the average player, is less than one positional spot.
The boards themselves
All three are free, and all three are live:
- Half-PPR draft kit — the default board
- Full PPR rankings — with the movers for that format listed on the page
- Standard scoring rankings — same
Each one shows our model's positional rank next to consensus ADP, so you can see the gap rather than take our word for it. The full method, all 32 teams and a 153-player board with floors, ceilings and bye weeks, is in the NFL 2026 Market Guide.
If you would rather ask than read, the same board is callable from Claude, ChatGPT or Grok — connect it and ask which players move in your format.
Projections are model estimates, not guarantees. Numbers measured on the live 2026 board on August 29, 2026; the board updates through the season and the exact figures move with it. The direction of these effects is stable; the decimals are not.
