HowFill all 12 teams’ starting seats by projected season points, give the 12 flex seats to the best RB/WR/TE left, and the next player at each position is replacement. Kickers and defenses are measured against the weekly streaming level instead — the best matchup left on waivers each week (8.6 ppg for a kicker, 9.61 ppg for a defense), because in a league with waivers that is what an unrostered kicker is worth. VORP = season points − that level. Your league differs? The draft room measures it for your rules.

Top 36 · of 120 · ranked by VORP

2026 Half-PPR · 12-team · VORP = season points over the replacement above · Season = the engine’s median with its 20–80 range (bar; tick = median) · Games = expected games played · Value = FFC ADP − our overall rank (positive: drafted later than we rank him) · tiers from the engine: a new tier where the drop to the next player is more than twice the typical drop nearby and at least 2 points
