What changes in this view

Wide receivers are the position PPR scoring changes most. A point per catch rewards volume, so a receiver who catches eight short passes can out-score one who catches three long ones, and most default leagues use PPR or half-PPR.

This view keeps only wide receivers and re-numbers them 1 upward in PPR scoring. Leagues also start more receivers than any other position, so the useful part of this list runs much deeper than the quarterback or tight end lists.
