Updated 2026 half-PPR fantasy football rankings featuring the Top 100 overall players, expanded positional rankings, movement since August 10, and the biggest values compared with ADP.
Last updated: August 15, 2026
What changed: Chuba Hubbard fell 15 spots to No. 99 overall after the Panthers labeled him week-to-week with a hamstring injury. Jonathon Brooks rose six spots to No. 76, while RJ Harvey, Quentin Johnston, D.J. Moore, and Jordyn Tyson also made notable moves inside the Top 100.
These fantasy football half PPR rankings have a new Carolina backfield hierarchy. Jonathon Brooks is now 23 spots ahead of Chuba Hubbard and carries a 13-pick discount relative to multi-site ADP, creating one of the most actionable changes on the board.
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 10 rankings.

Half-PPR Rankings at a Glance
How Half-PPR Scoring Changes Rankings Top 100 Half-PPR Rankings Biggest Rankings Risers and Fallers News to Monitor 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 10; negative movement indicates a drop.

The first round remains stable. The first 10 players did not change. Barkley and Chase Brown rose immediately behind them, Achane fell two spots, and London, Walker, and Hampton moved only one position apiece. Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson remain the top two overall players, with Ja’Marr Chase still the first wide receiver.
The Carolina backfield produced the most consequential shift. Brooks moved to No. 76 and RB31, 13 spots ahead of his ADP. Hubbard fell to No. 99 and RB36, 13 spots behind his ADP. The 26-pick swing between those rankings-versus-market gaps shows why drafters need to react faster than an aggregated ADP feed.
Several middle-round running backs remain discounted. Kenneth Gainwell is ranked 15 spots ahead of ADP, Rhamondre Stevenson is 14 ahead, Rico Dowdle is 13 ahead, and Jaylen Warren is 11 ahead. Jacory Croskey-Merritt leads the group at 22 spots ahead of ADP after another three-position rise.
The market is still more aggressive on several receivers. Marvin Harrison Jr. is drafted 22 spots before his 4for4 ranking, while Alec Pierce is drafted 16 spots earlier. Emeka Egbuka also carries a 10-pick premium, although his ranking rose four spots in this update.
Biggest Half-PPR Rankings Risers and Fallers
Jonathon Brooks Rises While Chuba Hubbard Falls
Brooks climbed six spots from No. 82 to No. 76 overall and is now the RB31. Hubbard dropped 15 spots from No. 84 to No. 99 and RB36 after the Panthers announced that he is week-to-week with a hamstring injury.
The ranking change creates a much different draft decision than ADP suggests. Brooks carries an ADP of 89, placing him 13 picks behind his ranking. Hubbard’s ADP remains 86, placing him 13 picks ahead of his ranking. Brooks has nearly matched Hubbard’s market price and now has a clearer opportunity to earn early-season work, while Hubbard should be drafted with greater caution.
RJ Harvey Makes the Largest Top-100 Jump
Harvey rose 17 spots to No. 84 overall and RB33, the largest move among the current Top 100. His ADP sits at No. 87, meaning the market and updated ranking are almost perfectly aligned.
The move is best treated as a tier adjustment rather than a newly created bargain. Harvey is more attractive than he was in the previous update, but drafters do not receive much of a discount if his multi-site price holds.
Quentin Johnston and D.J. Moore Climb
Johnston rose 10 spots to No. 82 and WR35, moving six selections ahead of his ADP. D.J. Moore climbed nine spots to No. 60 and WR27, although his ADP of 56 remains slightly more aggressive than the updated projection.
Both players moved into more favorable portions of their positional tiers. Johnston now belongs inside the published Top 36 receivers, while Moore sits directly behind Jameson Williams and ahead of Mike Evans.
Brock Bowers Takes Over TE1
Bowers climbed seven spots to No. 21 overall and moved ahead of Trey McBride for the TE1 ranking. McBride is now TE2 at No. 27 overall.
Their ADPs remain similarly aggressive: Bowers is drafted 20th and McBride 23rd. The update makes Bowers the preferred option in the projections, but both still require a second-round investment in most 12-team leagues.
DeVonta Smith and Chuba Hubbard Lead the Fallers
Hubbard’s 15-position drop is the largest decline inside the Top 100. Smith fell five spots to No. 35 and WR14, while Dak Prescott and J.K. Dobbins also dropped five overall positions.
Smith’s ADP remains No. 30, only five spots ahead of the new ranking. The adjustment makes him a less compelling value than Rashee Rice, who rose six spots to No. 29, but it does not push Smith outside the fourth-round receiver tier.
Half-PPR Rankings News to Monitor
Jordyn Tyson’s Week 1 Status Is Uncertain
Tyson rose eight spots to No. 78 and WR34, but the newest Saints update complicates that movement. Head coach Kellen Moore said he could not rule out Tyson missing Week 1 after the receiver left practice with a hamstring issue.
Tyson’s ADP of 75 already prices him slightly ahead of the new ranking. Until his status becomes clearer, managers should avoid treating the eight-spot rise as a reason to move him further up draft boards.
Jeremiyah Love Is Expected to Miss at Least One Week
Love is expected to miss at least a week with an ankle injury, including Arizona’s upcoming preseason game. His ranking only moved from No. 21 to No. 22, and he remains RB13 with an ADP of 26.
That limited adjustment suggests the current expectation is a short absence rather than a major threat to his regular-season role. His recovery remains worth monitoring before the next refresh.
Darren Waller Has Not Entered the Rankings
Carolina reportedly reached a one-year agreement with Darren Waller, but he is not yet included in the current 4for4 rankings. Ja’Tavion Sanders remains well outside the published Top 12 tight ends.
The signing is not actionable in this table yet, but it could alter the late-round tight end pool once Waller receives a projection and his expected role becomes clearer.
QB Rankings
Josh Allen remains the only quarterback ranked inside the overall Top 40. Lamar Jackson follows at No. 49 before a compact third tier begins with Drake Maye at No. 62.

Allen and Jackson remain the two quarterbacks with the clearest early-round cases. The next four—Maye, Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, and Jalen Hurts—are separated by 10 overall spots, supporting a patient approach if the top two are unavailable.
Prescott is the position’s largest faller, moving five spots to No. 86 and QB9. Jaxson Dart and Brock Purdy each rose two spots, while the rankings-versus-ADP differences remain small throughout the Top 12.
RB Rankings
Half-PPR keeps the top running backs near the front of the overall board. Nine backs rank inside the Top 13, while 16 appear inside the Top 31. The table has been expanded to 36 players so the entire Brooks-Hubbard tier is visible.

DobbinsDEN109695-536Chuba HubbardCAR59986-15RB Rankings Takeaways
The early-round values remain concentrated around Kyren Williams and Josh Jacobs, who are each ranked eight spots ahead of ADP. The larger discounts begin in the middle rounds with Gainwell, Stevenson, Dowdle, Warren, Brooks, and Croskey-Merritt.
The bottom of the table now contains the biggest decision point at the position. Brooks ranks 13 spots ahead of ADP, while Hubbard ranks 13 spots behind it. Drafters using older boards could easily select the injured back first even though the updated projections prefer Brooks by 23 overall spots.

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 10 receivers rank inside the overall Top 30.

Drake London remains the strongest early-round value, ranking fifth at the position and No. 14 overall against an ADP of 19. Christian Watson, Quentin Johnston, and Chris Godwin offer later discounts, while D.J. Moore’s rise brings his ranking closer to market price.
The larger premiums belong to Harrison, Egbuka, and Alec Pierce. Tyson’s ranking also rose, but the hamstring update makes him a player to monitor rather than one to push above his current ADP.
TE Rankings
Brock Bowers and Trey McBride form the clear elite tier, but their order has flipped. 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 largest change among the Top 12 tight ends and makes him the new TE1. McBride remains only six overall spots behind him and is generally available three picks later.
Tucker Kraft, Harold Fannin, and George Kittle provide the strongest values for managers who wait. Kraft ranks six spots ahead of ADP, Fannin ranks six ahead, and Kittle ranks eight ahead.

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.
