Updated 2026 half-PPR fantasy football rankings featuring the Top 100 overall players, positional rankings, movement since August 5, and the biggest values compared with ADP.
Last updated: August 10, 2026
What changed: Jacory Croskey-Merritt jumped 29 spots to No. 93 overall, signaling a larger projected share of Washington’s backfield, while Jonathon Brooks and Wan’Dale Robinson also moved into the Top 100. Stefon Diggs entered the rankings at No. 117 after joining Washington, while TreVeyon Henderson and Makai Lemon each fell seven spots.
These fantasy football half PPR rankings provide an updated draft board for typical one-quarterback leagues that award one-half point per reception. Jahmyr Gibbs remains No. 1 overall, but the most consequential changes appear later, where new roles, training-camp developments, and shifting ADP can quickly create or erase value.
The rankings below come from the latest 4for4 fantasy football rankings. ADP comes from the 4for4 Multi-Site ADP tool, and the change column compares the current board with the August 5 rankings.

Half-PPR Rankings at a Glance
How Half-PPR Scoring Changes Rankings Top 100 Half-PPR Rankings Biggest Rankings Risers and Fallers QB Rankings RB Rankings WR Rankings TE Rankings Half-PPR Rankings FAQHow Half-PPR Scoring Changes Fantasy Football Rankings
Half-PPR scoring splits the difference between standard and full PPR. Each reception is worth 0.5 points, so catches remain valuable without overwhelming rushing yards, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
The format generally raises the relative value of running backs with dependable rushing and goal-line roles compared with full PPR. High-volume receivers remain early-round foundations, but low-aDOT players who rely heavily on reception totals lose a portion of their advantage. Tight ends with strong yardage and touchdown expectations are less dependent on catching five or six short passes each week.
These rankings assume a typical lineup with one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and one FLEX. Superflex, two-quarterback, tight end premium, and unusual bonus scoring require a customized board.
Top 100 Half-PPR Rankings
The Top 100 covers the first eight rounds and part of Round 9 in a 12-team league. Positive movement indicates that a player has risen since August 5; negative movement indicates a drop.

The elite group remains stable. The first 12 players did not change order. Gibbs and Bijan Robinson remain the clear top two, while Ja’Marr Chase is the first wide receiver and the only non-running back inside the top four.
Running back provides the strongest rankings-versus-ADP values. Kenneth Gainwell is ranked 20 spots ahead of ADP, Rhamondre Stevenson is 16 spots ahead, Jaylen Warren is 15 spots ahead, and Rico Dowdle is 14 spots ahead. Croskey-Merritt joins that group with a 23-pick difference between his No. 93 ranking and No. 116 ADP.
The market is more aggressive on several wide receivers. Marvin Harrison Jr. is drafted 22 spots before his 4for4 ranking, while Alec Pierce is drafted 19 spots earlier. Emeka Egbuka, Courtland Sutton, D.J. Moore, Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Rashee Rice also carry ADPs at least 10 spots ahead of their rankings.
Biggest Half-PPR Rankings Risers and Fallers
Jacory Croskey-Merritt Climbs Into the Top 100
Croskey-Merritt rose from No. 122 to No. 93, the largest move among the current Top 100. He is now the RB35, but his ADP remains at No. 116. That creates the largest positive rankings-versus-ADP gap among the Top 100 players.
The move signals an increased projection for Croskey-Merritt’s share of the Washington backfield. He remains a middle-round selection rather than a player who must be forced into a starting lineup, but the combination of movement and a slower market response makes him one of the board’s most important players to monitor.
Jonathon Brooks and Wan’Dale Robinson Make Double-Digit Jumps
Brooks climbed 12 spots to No. 82 overall and RB32. His ADP of 89 still trails the updated ranking, creating a modest buying window in the middle rounds.
Robinson rose 14 spots to No. 99 overall and WR44. His ADP sits close behind at No. 103, suggesting the market has already begun accounting for the same opportunity reflected in the rankings.
Brock Bowers Narrows the Gap at Tight End
Bowers made the most important early-round move, climbing seven spots from No. 35 to No. 28. He remains TE2 behind Trey McBride, but the updated ranking places the two elite tight ends only two overall spots apart.
Bowers still carries a more expensive ADP of 20. Managers who prefer McBride can select him closer to the end of Round 2, while Bowers generally requires an earlier commitment.
Stefon Diggs Returns to the Rankings
Diggs entered the current board at No. 117 overall and WR48 after joining Washington. His ADP has already moved to No. 121, placing the ranking and market price in almost exact agreement.
Because Diggs falls outside the published Top 100, managers can generally treat him as a late-round bench receiver rather than a required starter. His placement will be one of the more important items to revisit in the next update.
TreVeyon Henderson and Makai Lemon Fall Seven Spots
Henderson moved from No. 46 to No. 53 overall, though his ADP of 56 remains close to the updated ranking. He is still a middle-round target, but the gap between him and New England teammate Rhamondre Stevenson has narrowed considerably.
Lemon fell from No. 83 to No. 90. His ADP of 96 remains slightly later than the new ranking, so the movement lowers expectations without turning him into an obvious player to avoid.
QB Rankings
Josh Allen is the only quarterback ranked inside the overall Top 50. Lamar Jackson follows at No. 51 before a large third tier begins with Drake Maye at No. 61.

Allen and Jackson are the two quarterbacks with the clearest early-round cases. The position then becomes compact: Maye, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts are separated by only nine overall spots.
Dak Prescott is the position’s biggest riser, moving five spots to No. 81 overall and QB9. Allen and Justin Herbert are each ranked three spots ahead of ADP, but the differences throughout the position are small enough to support waiting for whichever passer reaches the best price.

Half-PPR keeps the top running backs near the front of the overall board. Eight backs rank inside the Top 12, while 15 appear inside the Top 30.

The first 18 backs are drafted within nine spots of their current ranking. The market begins to separate in the middle rounds, where Kyren Williams, Josh Jacobs, D’Andre Swift, Quinshon Judkins, David Montgomery, Jaylen Warren, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Rico Dowdle are all ranked at least seven spots ahead of ADP.
Warren, Stevenson, and Dowdle remain the clearest values within the published Top 30. Gainwell would join them immediately afterward as RB31 and No. 77 overall, 20 picks ahead of his ADP.

WR Rankings
Wide receiver remains deep, but half-PPR places more pressure on players to produce yards and touchdowns rather than relying entirely on catch volume. The first nine receivers rank inside the overall Top 25.

London is the strongest early-round value, ranking fifth at the position and No. 13 overall against an ADP of 18. Chris Godwin provides the largest later discount, ranking nine spots ahead of ADP, while Jaylen Waddle and Christian Watson offer smaller differences.
The larger gaps appear on the opposite side. Harrison, Egbuka, D.J. Moore, Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Rashee Rice are drafted at least 10 spots ahead of their 4for4 rankings. That does not make them automatic fades, but it means the market price already assumes a more optimistic outcome than the projections.
TE Rankings
Trey McBride and Brock Bowers form the clear elite tier. Colston Loveland is the only other tight end ranked inside the overall Top 50, followed by a deeper group that allows managers to wait if they miss the first three.

Bowers’ seven-spot rise is the biggest change among the Top 12 tight ends, but his ADP remains eight spots earlier than his ranking. McBride is ranked two spots ahead of Bowers overall and can generally be drafted three picks later.
Kraft and Kittle provide the strongest values for managers who wait. Kraft ranks eight spots ahead of ADP, while Kittle ranks 12 spots ahead. For a deeper approach to the position, see When to Draft a Tight End and Tight End Strength of Schedule Beneficiaries and Ideal Late-Round Pairings.
Fantasy Football Half PPR Rankings FAQ
What Does Half PPR Mean in Fantasy Football?
Half PPR awards 0.5 fantasy points for every reception. A player with six catches receives three reception points before adding receiving yards and touchdowns. The format sits between standard scoring, which awards no reception points, and full PPR, which awards one point per catch.
How Are Half-PPR Rankings Different From Full-PPR Rankings?
Half-PPR reduces the advantage created by receptions. Running backs with strong rushing and touchdown roles gain relative value, while receivers and backs who depend heavily on short catches lose a portion of their scoring edge. Elite pass catchers remain valuable because yards, touchdowns, and receiving volume still produce points.
Are Running Backs More Valuable in Half PPR?
Running backs are generally more valuable relative to wide receivers than they are in full PPR, but role still matters more than position alone. Backs with receiving work remain especially valuable because they can score through both rushing and catches without relying entirely on touchdowns.
Should You Use Overall or Positional Half-PPR Rankings During a Draft?
Use the overall rankings to compare players across positions and the positional rankings to identify tier depth. If several similarly ranked players remain at one position, you may be able to address another need and return to that group later.
