Week 2 Fantasy Football PPR Cheat Sheets – Wide Receivers

Hundreds of fantasy football leagues are making the switch from standard scoring to points per reception (PPR) but there are very few sites that feature PPR Fantasy Football Cheat Sheets. If you’ve never done a PPR league the basics are the same but some possession receivers, Wes Welker for example, will jump way up the ranks. Lets take a look at how the 2008 Fantasy Football PPR rankings shake out. If you are looking for our standard take a look at our regular Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet for wide receivers.

1. Randy Moss, New England Patriots
2. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
3. Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
4. Braylon Edwards, Cleveland Browns
5. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals

No surprise here, Randy Moss takes the top spot. He caught a record 23 touchdowns and is no slouch in the receptions department with 98 receptions. He should undoubtedly be the number one off your draft board. I had a tough time choosing between Reggie Wayne and Terrell Owens but in the end Wayne had close to 20 more receptions and in PPR fantasy football leagues, that should outweigh Owens’ touchdowns. Cleveland’s Braylon Edwards and Larry Fitzgerald round out our PPR cheat sheet top five.

6. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
7. Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints
8. TJ Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati Bengals
9. Wes Welker, New England Patriots
10. Plaxico Burress, New York Giants

Houston’s Andre Johnson barely misses the cut in our PPR cheat sheet, but a “tweaked” groin injury this early in training camp drops his stock. Wes Welker had the biggest leap from our regular scoring wide receiver rankings reaping the benefits of point per reception fantasy league scoring. The Bengals TJ Houshmandzadeh is also a pass catching machine and should be drafted earlier in PPR leagues.

11. Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams
12. Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers
13. Roy Williams, Detroit Lions
14. Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals
15. Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals
16. Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers
17. Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh Steelers
18. Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos
19. Lee Evans, Buffalo Bills
20. Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts

The third group features a couple of suspended players in Steve Smith and Brandon Marshall. Smith will be down two games for beating up a teammate and Marshall will sit three for off-field run ins with the law this summer. Both players represent great value when active, especially Marshall in a PPR scoring fantasy football league, hauling in 102 receptions last season.

21. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions
22. Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs
23. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons
24. Bobby Engram, Seattle Seahawks
25. Jerricho Cotchery, New York Jets
26. Bernard Berrian, Minnesota Vikings
27. Laveranues Coles, New York Jets
28. Donald Driver, Green Bay Packers
29. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers
30. Kevin Curtis, Philadelphia Eagles

The last group in our fantasy football PPR cheat sheets features a stable of great young receivers who will dominate the wide receiver fantasy football rankings for many years to come. Calvin Johnson and Dwayne Bowe are particular standouts if your PPR fantasy football league has dynasty or keeper rules.
