WR Fantasy Points Calculator
Calculate wide receiver fantasy points instantly across standard, half-PPR, and full PPR formats.
WR calculator: standard vs PPR example
This WR calc scores a wide receiver in whichever format your league uses. The only line that changes between formats is the reception, and it changes a receiver's value a lot. Take a WR who catches 8 passes for 95 yards and 1 touchdown:
| Format | Reception value | Total points |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 0 per catch | 15.5 |
| Half-PPR | 0.5 per catch | 19.5 |
| Full PPR | 1 per catch | 23.5 |
Same stat line, eight points apart. That is why target volume drives WR value in PPR. Enter your receiver's numbers in the WR calculator above to see the total in your exact format.

WR FAQs
How are wide receiver fantasy points calculated?
In standard scoring: 1 point per 10 receiving yards, 6 points per receiving TD, -2 per fumble lost. PPR adds 1 point per reception (0.5 in half-PPR), which is the dominant scoring driver for high-volume slot receivers.
What is a good fantasy week for a WR?
15+ points is a strong WR week in PPR. 20+ is elite. Slot WRs with 8+ catches floor at 12 PPR points before any TDs, making target volume more predictive than yards.
Why do slot WRs benefit most from PPR?
Slot receivers run shorter, higher-percentage routes and catch more passes. A slot WR with 9 catches earns 9 PPR points before yardage. That volume floor is unmatched outside of pass-catching RBs.
