Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Redraft Half-PPR Fantasy Football Rankings
Kimani Vidal, RB, Los Angeles Chargers
This one is more obvious, but you may be able to move Kimani Vidal in home or work leagues if you move quickly. The impending return of rookie running back Omarion Hampton won't be lost on more savvy fantasy managers, though, and for good reason.
In his final healthy game before his injury, Hampton had worked his way up to an 88.9% snap share and tallied 128 yards and a touchdown against the New York Giants. The rookie won't immediately monopolize touches, but Vidal's fantasy value is about to crater.
It may not be possible, but try to capitalize on his 20.7 fantasy points in a trade this week.
Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers
It's incredible to think that Christian Watson, who tore his ACL less than a year ago, has been Green Bay's savior in the midst of a wave of injuries to its pass catchers. Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden have all missed significant time, and even the team's more peripheral receivers have suffered injuries at different moments.
Watson was targeted a career-high 10 times against the Detroit Lions in Week 13 and caught four of them for 80 yards and a touchdown. The fourth-year receiver will continue to be a weekly deep-ball and end-zone threat, but the cavalry is on its way.
Both Reed and Golden are set to return in the coming weeks, and the Packers will get back to spreading the ball more evenly around a depth chart full of receiving talent.

FAQ
What Is PPR and HPPR in Fantasy Football?
PPR stands for “point per reception.” It means exactly what it says. PPR dictates how much a reception is worth in fantasy football. In half-PPR, a reception is worth half a point, meaning that for a 10-yard reception, a receiver gets 1.5 fantasy points.
What Is the Difference Between PPR, HPPR and Non-PPR?
There is a very stark contrast between PPR scoring and non-PPR scoring. In non-PPR, receptions don’t matter … at all. The only relevance receptions have is how they relate to the yards a player attains on those receptions. In PPR, receivers get points for each reception. Traditionally, PPR means a receiver receives one point per reception, which can vary, while HPPR is nearly always 0.5 points per reception.
One of the primary criticisms of PPR scoring is that it rewards unproductive plays. If a running back carries the ball 15 times for 90 yards, that’s a really efficient performance. Yet, a wide receiver racking up an inefficient seven catches for 40 yards is going to outscore that running back by 2.0 PPR fantasy points.
