Hayden Winks provides drafting strategy for full-PPR fantasy football leagues

Fantasy football analyst Hayden Winks issued updated draft rankings and strategic recommendations for full-PPR leagues on September 4, 2026. The strategy suggests that quarterbacks receive lower value in full-PPR formats because they do not earn points for receptions. Winks advises managers to wait until at least the sixth round to select players at the position. Top-rated options highlighted for PPR formats include running backs Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, and Jonathan Taylor, alongside wide receivers Puka Nacua, Ja'Marr Chase, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. The analysis also identifies sleepers at the wide receiver and tight end positions, including KC Concepcion, Matthew Golden, and Juwan Johnson. Managers are encouraged to prioritize depth at running back and wide receiver early in drafts before addressing quarterback needs.
