How These PPR Rankings Work
LineupBeat ranks players from its full-season statistical projections, then compares each player with the expected replacement option at his position. This board uses PPR scoring in a 12-team, one-quarterback league.
Replacement levels are QB13, RB37, WR49 and TE13. Ranking score is projected points above that replacement level. This lets positions share one overall board without pretending raw quarterback points and running back points carry identical draft value.
These pages use the same projection workbook as the projection pages. No separate private ranking list or copied scoring source can drift away from the published projections.
Lineup Beat PPR Decisions
- Bijan Robinson leads Jahmyr Gibbs on projected combined opportunity in an otherwise near-even PPR projection.
- Ja'Marr Chase leads Puka Nacua because his projection carries more targets, receptions and receiving touchdowns.
- Ashton Jeanty's feature-role upside is recognized without changing his published statistical projection.
- Christian McCaffrey receives a durability discount without changing his published statistical projection.
- Malik Nabers closes the PPR wide-receiver top 10 after returning to full-contact practice; Lineup Beat expects a Week 1-ready featured role.
Comparison rankings were used as a research checklist only. No outside rank, tier, ADP or strength-of-schedule value is imported into this board.
