Because of that remarkable performance, Ekeler is the highest riser in our PPR RB rankings compared to standard. He’s not alone, of course. Stalwarts like James White and surprise PPR weapon Leonard Fournette both figure higher into these rankings, too.

WEEK 6 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Just as with standard league owners, PPR owners of Saquon Barkley will be eagerly awaiting his status for Thursday Night Football in New England. It’s not a great matchup, but as I wrote in the standard rankings, if you have Barkley and he’s playing, you’re playing him. (Update 10/8: Barkley looks unlikely to play.)

WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: Wide receiver | Tight end

Damien Williams (vs. Texans) gets a favorable PPR matchup, as Houston has allowed the most receptions to running backs this season. They have faced some of the top-tier pass-catching backs, so maybe that’s skewed, but they also have allowed nine receptions to RBs per game, so it’s not all random, either. Williams should have a good game for PPR owners. Mark Ingram (vs. Bengals) gets a great matchup all around, but Cincinnati is especially poor against receiving backs, so Ingram might find some added success there in Week 6.

There is reason to assume Todd Gurley (vs. 49ers) will have a poorer PPR week, as the Niners have allowed the fewest catches and second-fewest yards to backs. (Update: Gurley is doubtful for this week.) The lowest yardage allowed via the air to RBs has been by the Falcons, so although you’re not sitting David Johnson this week in any format, his PPR value may actually not live up to its usual standard.
