Printable Fantasy Football Cheat Sheets By Format
Cheat sheets are a powerful tool in fantasy football drafting, but they’re only useful if they’re optimized for your league’s format. Not sure which scoring format your league uses? Be sure to check your league settings before the draft! Here’s a breakdown of the cheat sheets we offer:
PPR (Point-Per-Reception)
In PPR leagues, players earn one point for every catch they make, giving a significant boost to wide receivers and pass-catching running backs. This format elevates the value of players who excel in the receiving game.
Half-PPR
Half-PPR offers a balanced approach, giving moderate weight to receptions while still emphasizing rushing performance. This format strikes a balance between the value of running backs and wide receivers, making it a favorite among many fantasy managers.
Non-PPR
Non-PPR is the traditional format of fantasy football, rewarding players based purely on yardage and touchdowns. It places a premium on workhorse running backs who grind out yardage on the ground.
Top Players to Watch in 2025
Josh Allen Fantasy Outlook
Production at the QB position is the most predictable and consistent from year to year. The larger the sample size PFSN has on a player’s performance, the more confident we can be in predicting what he will do in the upcoming season.
This combination makes Allen the best overall player in all of fantasy football.
Of course, this doesn’t mean he should go No. 1 overall, or even in the first round. Opportunity cost matters. Positional value matters. QBs don’t go in the first round for a very good reason. Purely looking at all players in a vacuum, though, Allen is the best.
Interestingly, Allen’s fantasy output has declined each of the past four seasons (not that it matters). He averaged 24.1 fantasy points per game last season, which was 0.1 ppg lower than the year before, which was 0.1 ppg lower than the year before that, which was .03 ppg lower than the year before that.
His ceiling is elite. His floor is elite. He’s as consistent as they get. He’s been the overall QB1 for three of the last five years.

There aren’t enough superlatives to adequately describe Allen as both an NFL quarterback and a fantasy asset. He’s an elite QB1 who is also his team’s primary goal-line back. Allen has rushed for 27 touchdowns over the past two seasons. That gives him both the highest floor and the highest ceiling in fantasy football.
If you compare Allen’s rushing efficiency now to his early career, it may seem like he’s less effective. However, the fact that he runs for so many short touchdowns, as well as the Bills’ version of the tush push, artificially decreases his yards per carry. Allen is an efficient runner.
In total, Allen accounted for 40 touchdowns last season. He scored 20+ fantasy points 12 times, including every game from Week 6 to 15. In Weeks 14 and 15, Allen had the greatest two-game stretch in the history of fantasy football, scoring 93.2 fantasy points over that span.
Bo Nix Fantasy Projection
Bo Nix’s NFL career got off to a slow start, as the quarterback waited until Week 4 to throw his first NFL touchdown. The quarterback took off from that point on, though, and was the QB5 in fantasy points per game from Weeks 5-18.
Normally, I’d include Week 18 for player evaluations, but the Denver Broncos faced a second-string Kansas City Chiefs, blowing them out 38-0. Removing Week 18 puts Nix at QB8 pace from Week 5 onward, which is precisely where he is being drafted this year.
Nix has a lot of hype in fantasy circles after last season, but he has as much room for decline as he does for improvement. The Broncos star is unlikely to challenge the top five quarterbacks, but could easily slide back a few spots in 2025.
However, Nix’s situation improved during the offseason, with new weapons arriving in both the run and pass game. RB RJ Harvey should offer an explosive checkdown weapon for the former Oregon quarterback, while Evan Engram offers reliable hands at tight end.
The Broncos have continuously improved under HC Sean Payton and, having been a complete mess just two years ago, are now Super Bowl dark horses. Significant personnel upgrades and a year of experience behind him should see Nix make good on his ADP in 2025.
