For many, PPR is the one true scoring format of fantasy football. Some remain opposed to this, as it can bolster mostly lackluster play by someone merely catching a dump-off pass for the same reward as a hard-fought run. For those in the middle of this holy war is the Half PPR format. This allows for players, especially running backs, without a robust receiving profile, to remain relevant and not be cast aside at the altar of the true satellite backs. It’s a lot of fun, and you can build solid rosters from anywhere in the draft order.

In this article, I will walk through my favorite players in each round that should be available to me based on Yahoo ADP from the No. 10 spot in a 10-team Half-PPR league.

My Plan of Attack When Drafting 10th

Roster Settings: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR/RB/TE), 1 Kicker, 1 DEF, 6 bench spots

Attack running back early - Proven running back talent has a nasty habit of drying up quickly this season, whereas receiver depth is abundant. I’d love to start my draft with two foundation backs in the early rounds.
Look for backfield dominators - The Half-PPR scoring format means that I won’t be looking too hard for running backs with a strong receiving profile, although it will be handy if they can catch the occasional ball. A player likely to lead his team in carries will be a useful asset.
Ignore kickers and DST until the very end of the draft - these are not positions of high priority in fantasy, and a strong case can be made that weekly streaming at these spots is a viable strategy for success. You should ensure that all of your starting spots and at least a few of your backup players are filled before you even contemplate picking a kicker.
