Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football Half-PPR Rankings
Colby Parkinson, TE, Los Angeles Rams
This isn't your classic 11-personnel Los Angeles Rams team. The new Rams utilize their tight ends; all of them.
With Tyler Higbee done for the season, it hasn't been rookie Terrance Ferguson or veteran Davis Allen as the primary tight end. It's been Colby Parkinson.
The Rams' new TE1 has scored a touchdown in five of his last six games. He caught two against the Lions in Week 15.
Davante Adams aggravated his hamstring injury and left the game. There's simply no chance he will be ready to go on a short week. The primary beneficiary won't be any other wide receiver. It will be Parkinson. If you need a tight end, he is your man.
Michael Carter, RB, Arizona Cardinals
Bam Knight left last week's game in the first quarter with an ankle injury. He did not return. This has all the makings of a multi-week injury.
Emari Demercado returned from an ankle injury of his own this week. So, we get a full game of seeing what this backfield looks like with only Michael Carter and Demercado. It was Carter leading the way with 18 touches, which he turned into a very respectable 94 yards against the best defense in football.
The Cardinals get the Falcons next week and the Bengals in Week 17. We could be looking at Carter in a heavy-volume role over the final two weeks. He is a high-priority add.

FAQ
What Is Half-PPR Scoring in Fantasy Football?
Half-PPR scoring is a fantasy football format where players earn 0.5 points for every reception instead of the full 1 point in PPR (Point Per Reception) or 0 points in Standard scoring. It’s a middle ground that balances the value of volume receivers with players who make big plays or score touchdowns.
In Half-PPR leagues, catching passes still matters, but it doesn’t dominate the scoring the way it can in full PPR. That means high-volume pass catchers may not be quite as valuable, while TD-dependent players and big-yardage performers hold more weight.
This format encourages a more balanced approach to rankings and roster construction. Running backs who are involved in both the run and pass game remain strong assets, and wide receivers need to contribute more than just short catches to stand out. If you're looking for a scoring system that rewards versatility without overvaluing receptions, Half-PPR offers a great blend.
