Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex, Half-PPR

My goal for this mock draft was to use my first two picks on a quarterback while waiting to draft a tight end until the final few rounds. Let’s see how it turned out.

Round 1, Pick 3 –Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS)

Daniels had an outstanding rookie season. He finished the year as the QB5, averaging 20.9 fantasy points per game despite leaving two contests early. The superstar was a force in the run game, setting the NFL record for rushing yards by a rookie quarterback (891). More importantly, Daniels completed 69% of his pass attempts for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns despite a lack of weapons. Fantasy players should expect a massive second-year breakout after the Commanders added Deebo Samuel Sr. and Laremy Tunsil this offseason.

Round 2, Pick 10 – Justin Fields (QB – NYJ)

Unfortunately, Fields only played in the first six contests last season before the Pittsburgh Steelers foolishly benched him for Russell Wilson. While he is far from an elite NFL starting quarterback, Fields is a sneaky good fantasy quarterback. The former Ohio State star was the QB6 during his six weeks as a starting quarterback, averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game. Fields is a fantasy star because of his legs, averaging 38.5 rushing yards, 0.8 touchdowns, and 9.8 fantasy points per game last year.

Round 3, Pick 3 – Ashton Jeanty (RB – Boise State)

While fantasy players don’t know which team he will play for in 2025, Jeanty is an elite running back prospect worthy of a top 24 pick in superflex redraft leagues this year. Hopefully, the former Boise State star gets drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders with the sixth overall pick later this month. New head coach Pete Carroll will make Jeanty his new Marshawn Lynch. Therefore, don’t be surprised if the superstar running back ends his rookie season as a high-end RB1.

Round 4, Pick 10 – Chase Brown (RB – CIN)

Many called Brown a sleeper candidate heading into last season. The former Illinois star had a pathway to a lead role, with only Zack Moss standing in his way. While it took a few weeks, Brown was a superstar in 2024, ending the year as the RB12, averaging 14.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The Bengals haven’t made any significant additions to their backfield this offseason. Brown has top-five upside unless the team spends a top-100 pick in the NFL Draft on a running back.

Round 5, Pick 3 – Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA)

Seattle made several changes on offense this offseason, including swapping out Geno Smith for Sam Darnold. More importantly, they moved on from DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, replacing them with Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Therefore, Smith-Njigba is the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver on the roster and should be the focal point of the passing attack. Last year, he finished as the WR10, averaging 11.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Fantasy players should expect another top-20 season from the former Ohio State star.

Round 6, Pick 10 – Davante Adams (WR – LAR)

Adams is one of my favorite wide receiver draft targets this year. While he isn’t a fantasy superstar anymore, Adams is still an excellent wide receiver. Last season, the veteran was the WR14, averaging 14.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game despite missing three contests with a hamstring injury. Furthermore, Adams put up a top-15 finish, while Garrett Wilson ended the year as a WR1. The veteran should have another top-15 finish in Sean McVay’s fantasy-friendly offense despite playing alongside Puka Nacua.

Round 7, Pick 3 –Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

The former Texas star was a league winner as a rookie, finishing as the WR10 during the fantasy playoffs, averaging 10.3 targets and 17.5 fantasy points per game, totaling 16.6 or more in every contest. Furthermore, Worthy was a superstar during the Super Bowl, totaling eight receptions for 157 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 31.7 fantasy points. Don’t be surprised if the former Texas star has a top-15 finish in 2025, especially with Rashee Rice expected to miss time with a suspension.

Round 8, Pick 10 –Rome Odunze (WR – CHI)

Unfortunately, Odunze had a disappointing rookie season, struggling to earn consistent targets behind DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. However, that likely won’t happen in 2025 as Allen is not expected to re-sign with the Bears. Therefore, the former Washington star should be Chicago’s unquestioned No. 2 wide receiver. He had some positive moments as a rookie, including a two-touchdown performance in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers. Odunze should be a popular second-year breakout candidate playing in Ben Johnson’s offense.

Round 9, Pick 3 – J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)

Despite using my top two picks on quarterbacks, I always grab a third quarterback in superflex drafts. McCarthy didn’t play as a rookie because of a knee injury. Yet, the Vikings let Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones leave in free agency, showing their trust in the former Michigan star. Fantasy players should have high hopes for McCarthy because of his supporting cast. Minnesota signed two new starters to their offensive line in free agency and has one of the top receiving cores in the NFL.

Round 10, Pick 10 – Javonte Williams (RB – DAL)

Everyone expects the Cowboys to pick a running back early in the 2025 NFL Draft, potentially in the first round. However, everyone thought that last year, with the team opting against drafting a running back at any point. Therefore, Williams could be a steal if Dallas doesn’t invest an early-round draft pick at the running back position. Last year, he was the RB31, averaging 7.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game while totaling four rushing touchdowns despite being in a crowded and dysfunctional backfield.

Round 11, Pick 3 – Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)

San Francisco made multiple changes at the wide receiver position this offseason. While Jauan Jennings was the team’s most consistent wide receiver in 2024, Pearsall is the one fantasy players should target next season despite a rocky rookie year. Unfortunately, he missed the first six weeks recovering from a gunshot during an attempted robbery during the preseason. Yet, Pearsall shined when getting the ball. He averaged 18.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game in the three contests with six or more targets, scoring three receiving touchdowns.

Round 12, Pick 10 – Isaac Guerendo (RB – SF)

Hopefully, Christian McCaffrey can stay healthy in 2025 after dealing with multiple injuries last year. However, fantasy players should prepare for the worst, especially given the superstar’s injury history. Therefore, the 49ers’ No. 2 running back is arguably the top handcuff in fantasy football. That role belongs to Guerendo after the 49ers lost Elijah Mitchell in free agency and traded away Jordan Mason. Last season, Guerendo averaged 15 half-point PPR fantasy points per game in the five contests with over five rushing attempts.

Round 13, Pick 3 – Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)

Kincaid had high expectations heading into last season, especially after the Bills moved on from Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. Unfortunately, he failed to live up to them. The former Utah star ended the year as the TE28, averaging 6.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, fantasy players should give Kincaid another shot this upcoming season. He missed four games because of an injury while playing most of the second half of last year hurt. Don’t be surprised if Kincaid shines in 2025.

Round 14, Pick 10 – Marvin Mims Jr. (WR – DEN)

The Broncos’ offense became a fantasy-friendly unit late last season, with Bo Nix becoming a star. Many believed Denver would have made a splashy addition at the wide receiver position this offseason. However, that didn’t happen because of how Mims ended last year. He averaged 6.5 receptions for 77 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 22.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the final two weeks, making several big-time plays on offense. Mims should be a popular third-year breakout candidate.

Round 15, Pick 3 – Roschon Johnson (RB – CHI)

Many expect the Bears to select a running back early in the 2025 NFL Draft, potentially as soon as 10th overall. Yet, Johnson could be an excellent late-round target if Chicago doesn’t select a running back early in the draft. Last year, he was the RB53, averaging five half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, Johnson could be a poor man’s David Montgomery as the team’s No. 2 running back in Ben Johnson’s offense. Last season, Montgomery had 12 rushing touchdowns in 14 games.
