How well do you know your Fantasy Football slang?
Online card game and board game players use PTR to mean "player to the right." You're most likely to see this acronym used while discussing online poker, to refer to the player seated to a player's immediate right.
However, other online games also care about the order players are seated in, so you may see PTR used while discussing those games. For example, if an MTG streamer is in the middle of a draft, commenters may speculate about what the PTR and PTL are drafting and how it is influencing the streamer's draft.
