One of the most established high-stakes platforms around is the FFPC (Fantasy Football Players Championship), where drafts start from $35 and go as high as your budgets can imagine. The unique aspect of FFPC scoring is that it is tight

While QBs may produce the most overall fantasy points of all players in a given season – Jackson outscored the top non-QB, Saquon Barkley, by 95.6 points in half PPR formats in 2024 – running backs and wide receivers are far more valuable. Why? You need more of them in your starting lineup. (Assuming you play in a one-QB league, obviously.)

For the purposes of this exercise, we’re defining "value" as a player available a full tier below their average draft position. A quarterback and tight end available outside the top 12 at their position, a RB2 available outside the top 24 or a WR3 available past the top 36.
