The top 150 players in PPR leagues, RANKED

The SB Nation crew ranks the top 150 players in PPR leagues heading into the 2018 NFL season. Check out our full 2018 Fantasy Football Draft guide!

Editor’s update: Derrius Guice suffered a knee injury in his preseason debut. Initially reported as an MCL sprain, Washington has since announced that the injury is a torn ACL. This injury ends Guice’s rookie season before it begins. Samaje Perine is likely to get more of Washington’s rushing work, while Chris Thompson will be the primary pass catcher.

Training camps have begun, which means you’ll soon be in the midst of your league’s fantasy football draft. If you are fortunate enough to have the No. 1 pick, this will be one of the harder years to figure out who you should draft first. Todd Gurley led all running backs in fantasy scoring among running backs in 2017, though that was his first and only year to finish in the top five in PPR scoring leagues.

Over the last two years, no player has impacted fantasy teams than Le’Veon Bell, especially when it comes to PPR. During that span, Bell has caught a ridiculous 160 passes, the most among any running back. Unsurprisingly, he’s been the highest-scoring non-quarterback player during that span.

If you get the top pick in a PPR league, Bell is your best bet, especially now that he’ll play under the franchise tag for potentially the final time, making 2018 effectively a contract year for him.

If you choose to go wide receiver in Round 1, you’ll have an interesting debate between DeAndre Hopkins and Antonio Brown. Hopkins is the reigning scoring champ among receivers, but dating back to 2013, no receiver has scored more points than Brown in PPR leagues.
