This data-driven approach translates into measurable, objective rankings you can rely on to maximize your first-down advantage. Don't settle for generic rankings in a PPFD league – leverage 4for4's expertise and outscore your competition week after week.

What is the best draft position in Points Per First Down drafts?

While there isn't a single "magic" draft position in point-per-first-down (PPFD) leagues, aiming for the top half of the first round can give you a strong foundation. Securing a workhorse back who excels at churning out yards and catching passes is still a great strategy. Think dual-threat back like Christian McCaffrey, who racks up first downs consistently, or a high-volume wideout like Tyreek Hill or CeeDee Lamb. Drafting at the back end of the draft can also be helpful to be able to select two higher-volume players back to back.

What is the best draft strategy for Points Per First Down drafts?

Conquer your PPFD league with a strategy that prioritizes first-down machines!  Early rounds should focus on securing a consistent running back who excels at churning out yards and catching passes. Think dual-threat backs like Christian McCaffrey or receiving threats like Alvin Kamara. Don't forget quarterbacks who lead high-volume passing attacks. Guys like Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts can rack up first downs through the ground and air.


The beauty of PPFD? Opportunity beyond the usual suspects. Mid-to-late rounds can be a goldmine for wide receivers who see a steady stream of targets in pass-happy offenses. Think Diontae Johnson or George Pickens. Even tight ends like George Kiltte can be valuable with their high catch rates. Remember, volume is king in PPFD. Don't be afraid to target players who might not be the flashiest scorers in standard leagues, but consistently move the chains for their teams. By focusing on consistent first-down producers across all positions, you'll be well on your way to dominating your PPFD draft.

What is Points Per First Down ADP?

In point-per-first-down (PPFD) leagues, ADP (Average Draft Position) reveals the average round where fantasy managers are targeting players who consistently move the chains. Tracking PPFD ADP trends can help you predict when your first-down machines might be off the board, allowing you to strategize your picks and snag hidden gems before they're gone. It's basically a sneak peek into the minds of your fellow drafters, giving you a critical edge on draft day, especially since PPFD scoring can alter player values compared to standard leagues.

Who has the most accurate Points Per First Down rankings?

Conquering a PPFD league requires a data-driven approach, and 4for4 provides the tools you need to dominate. Their track record speaks for itself: John Paulsen's accolades –  multiple "Most Accurate Expert" awards and consistent top finishes – are a testament to their expertise.


But 4for4 goes beyond recognition. They wield cutting-edge analytics specifically tailored for PPFD scoring. Offensive tendencies, strength of schedule, and player talent are all factored in to create their renowned rankings. This translates to measurable, objective results you can trust to maximize your first-down advantage. Don't settle for generic rankings in a PPFD league. Leverage 4for4's expertise on point-per-first-down and outscore your competition all season long.

What is the best first-round pick in Points Per First Down Drafts?

The ideal first-round pick in a PPFD draft depends on your risk tolerance. Here are two approaches to consider:

The Safe Choice:  Go for a proven workhorse running back like Christian McCaffrey or an elite receiver like CeeDee Lamb. These guys are first-down machines, churning out yards and catching passes consistently.  While this strategy offers a solid foundation, it might not be the most exciting.

The High-Reward Gamble:  Target a young, explosive wide receiver with a sky-high target projection in a pass-happy offense. Think of someone like Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson. These players have the potential for massive first-down production but also carry a higher risk of inconsistency.

Ultimately, the best choice comes down to personal preference and draft board dynamics. Analyze ADP trends (if available) to see how these players are valued and draft the player who best fits your overall strategy. Remember, the key is maximizing first-down production, so be flexible and don't be afraid to break the mold if the opportunity arises.
