Fantasy Football 2020: Ranking Michael Thomas, Top PPR Flex Targets

Heading into the 2020 NFL season (whatever form that takes), PPR has staked its claim as the most popular fantasy scoring format, according to a survey by Apex Fantasy Leagues.

That trend has been reflected in the wider industry. In 2018, Yahoo adopted half-PPR as its standard scoring format for new leagues, and ESPN made PPR its own default in the same year.

There are still plenty of fantasy managers who vocally disdain PPR, arguing, among other things, that it gives too much weight to receptions that may go for no gain.

Chances are, though, most fantasy managers also find themselves in leagues that rely on half-PPR or PPR scoring, and as such, knowing how to draft within that scoring system will pay dividends in your league.
