Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Redraft PPR Fantasy Football Rankings
Jayden Higgins, WR, Houston Texans
It was disappointing to see Jayden Higgins only see five targets this week, but he still managed to catch all of them for 65 yards.
The rookie has been improving every week. He's now scored at least 9.5 fantasy points in five of his last six.
The bulk of the Texans' remaining schedule features games where they are likely to need to throw. That should result in more volume for Higgins.
Rookie wide receivers often perform their best during the second half of their inaugural seasons. Higgins probably isn't going to be a league winner, but he could emerge as a weekly WR3.
Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers
Although Christian Watson finally crossed the 50% rostership threshold, he's still worth mentioning. Why isn't he more heavily rostered?
Since returning from injury, Watson has immediately established himself as the Packers' WR1. He's a vastly superior player to Romeo Doubs. Most importantly, Watson offers splash-play upside.
He's now hit double-digit fantasy points in three of his six games. Over the past two, we've seen his target volume tick up a bit, with 17 total -- that's exactly how many targets he had in his first four games combined.
Three of the Packers' final four games of the fantasy season qualify as favorable matchups. Watson remains volatile, but he is a weekly WR3.

FAQ
What Is PPR 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.
What Is the Difference Between PPR 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.
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.
