Why not play in a PPR?
Why play in the cave man mentality of a standard league?

I try to convince my league to switch to ppr but we voted to add 100 yd bonuses and big play bonuses to compensate a bit

I'm happy with the standard league I play in - 100/300 yard bonuses, big play bonuses. Doesn't really change my analysis of players.
ETA: I don't get why everyone jerks off to PPR leagues.

I play in both. I usually do better in Standard. I don't know why. Probably because I play with lesser competition in those leagues.

I enjoy PPR but i see why some people don't enjoy it...but then I probably enjoy it because I have Antonio Brown

Because you shouldn't be rewarded a full point for catching a 1 yard pass.

Makes a league a shite ton more fun, makes the draft more fun(able to take WR's earlier), makes the league more competitive.
There literally is not a con to PPR.

You shouldn't be rewarded a half point for catching a -5 yard screen pass.

What are the cons to standard?
Posted on 11/24/14 at 3:36 pm to CBandits82
if you are in a big league than yea ppr makes sense but imo a 10 team ppr is unnecessary

People don't like the idea of giving points for reception when yards and touchdowns are what really matter in real life.

ppr does help beef up rbs a bit

Meh, I like both types. Playing in a PPR, and I think I'd like 0.5PPR better. PPR is too much.

Prime example is James Jones in Week 10. 8 catches for 20 yards, no TDs.
10 point fantasy day.

You shouldnt be rewarded 6 points for a 1 yard TD
You shouldnt be rewarded 6 points for throwing a 1 yard TD
You shouldnt be rewarded 6 points for catching a wide open TD

ppr is a good tool to even out a deep league, but people hate it because its more unpredictable

Boring, less scoring, RB's score more than receivers.
I just don't understand why people still play it.
It is an outdated and boring system in my mind.

It is all about preference. I don't see what PPR adds to fantasy football other than another point category. I like to limit the amount of fluke things that can happen and from experience, adding more categories and ways to get points increases the chance for weird things to happen.
