Below are my Week 18, 2022-23 positional ranks for PPR leagues. That’s right. Yes, Yahoo’s default is half point PPR, but much of my audience plays PPR (including me in most of my leagues) so that’s what we are going with the rest of the way... PPR ranks.
As always, these ranks are continually updated throughout the week, so check back often. And don’t forget to check out Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry every weekday at noon ET on Peacock. It’s then available -- as full episodes and clips -- on demand on Peacock , the new NFL on NBC YouTube channel and of course, wherever you get your podcasts.
And then on Sunday mornings, be sure to tune into Fantasy Football Pregame, 11 am ET to 1 pm ET on Peacock. The second hour (Noon to 1 pm ET) is also broadcast live on CNBC, check local listings.
