While everyone is focused on their dynasty rookie drafts, it’s never too early to prepare for redraft leagues. Everyone knows practice makes perfect, and there is no better way to practice than with the FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator.

I am picking second in this 12-team, superflex, and PPR-scoring redraft mock draft. The lineup for this mock draft is one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, two flex, one superflex, and seven bench spots.

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.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex, PPR

Pick 1.02 – Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL)

Jackson was the top-scoring player in fantasy football last season. He finished as QB1, averaging a career-high 25.3 fantasy points per game, his fifth year totaling at least 20 fantasy points per contest since becoming a full-time starter in 2019. Furthermore, the superstar had the best season of his career as a passer, totaling 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Ravens added DeAndre Hopkins, giving Jackson another reliable target in the red zone.

Pick 2.11 – Caleb Williams (QB – CHI)

Unfortunately, Williams was the QB16 as a rookie, averaging 15 fantasy points per game, a lower average than Derek Carr (15.1). However, the former USC star flashed superstar upside, scoring 26.1 or more fantasy points in three contests. More importantly, the Bears have given him everything needed for a sophomore-year breakout. They hired Ben Johnson as their head coach, significantly improved their offensive line, and spent their top two picks in the 2025 NFL Draft on pass catchers.

Pick 3.02 – Malik Nabers (WR – NYG)

No team had a worse quarterback situation than the Giants last season. Yet, Nabers was a fantasy superstar as a rookie despite a merry-go-round of awful quarterbacks. He finished the year as the WR6, averaging 18.2 PPR fantasy points per game, only 0.5 fewer than Justin Jefferson. While Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart aren’t an elite trio, they are far better than last year’s group. Expect another big season from Nabers in 2025.

Pick 4.11 – Chase Brown (RB – CIN)

Cincinnati waited until the sixth round of the NFL Draft to add Tahj Brooks, meaning Brown’s role as the lead guy is safe. Furthermore, the team used a third of their draft picks to improve their offensive line, including Dylan Fairchild, who should start at guard as a rookie. Last year, Brown was the RB6 from Week 4 through Week 17, averaging 18.3 PPR fantasy points per game as the starter. He should have similar success again this season.

Pick 5.02 – Davante Adams (WR – LAR)

Some might be scared to draft Adams after he signed with the Rams this offseason. However, the future Hall of Famer was the WR11 last year despite starting the season with the Las Vegas Raiders. Furthermore, Adams averaged more PPR fantasy points per game (17.2) than Brian Thomas Jr. (16.7) and Drake London (16.5), despite Garrett Wilson finishing fourth in the NFL with 154 targets. Therefore, fantasy players shouldn’t be concerned about Adams playing opposite Puka Nacua.

Pick 6.11 – 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 21 PPR fantasy points per game, totaling 19.6 or more in every contest. Furthermore, Worthy was a superstar during the Super Bowl, totaling eight receptions for 157 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 35.7 fantasy points. Don’t be surprised if he has a top-20 finish in 2025, especially with Rashee Rice possibly missing time with a suspension.

Pick 7.02 – RJ Harvey (RB – DEN)

Many were shocked when the Broncos selected Harvey in the second round of the NFL Draft. He had at least 1,400 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons to end his college career. More importantly, Harvey has a clear pathway to a three-down role. Furthermore, the other three running backs drafted by Sean Payton before Day 3 were Reggie Bush, Mark Ingram, and Alvin Kamara. Harvey could be the second-highest scoring rookie running back this season.

Pick 8.11 – J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)

Despite using my first two selections on quarterbacks, I always grab a third one in superflex drafts. McCarthy didn’t play as a rookie because of a knee injury. Yet, the Vikings let Sam Darnold 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.

Pick 9.02 – Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)

Judkins will likely have little impact in the passing game this season. Therefore, the rookie is a better option in non-PPR than PPR scoring leagues. Yet, he is a massive value at this point of the mock draft. Judkins will be the new Nick Chubb in Kevin Stefanski’s run-heavy offense. The veteran running back averaged 16.7 rushing attempts and 16.4 fantasy points per game over his last three healthy years with the Browns.

Pick 10.11 – Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAX)

While many are ready to name Bhayshul Tuten the Jaguars’ new starting running back, don’t be so fast to kick Etienne to the curb. The rookie running back struggled with fumbles in college. Meanwhile, Etienne was a massive bust last year. However, he was a star in 2023, ending the season as the RB3, averaging 16.6 PPR fantasy points per game. Don’t be surprised if Etienne has a bounce-back year after Jacksonville improved their offensive line.

Pick 11.02 – 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 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, averaging 21.6 PPR fantasy points per game in the three contests with six or more targets.

Pick 12.11 – Travis Kelce (TE – KC)

Kelce’s days as an elite TE1 are over. However, the veteran shouldn’t last until the late 12th round in redraft leagues. Last year, he finished as the TE5, averaging 12.2 PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Kelce finished third among tight ends and 16th in the NFL with 133 targets. While he won’t see the same target volume in 2024 if Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are healthy, the veteran is still a solid mid-range TE1.

Pick 13.02 – Jaydon Blue (RB – DAL)

While Blue was a Day 3 NFL Draft pick, the rookie landed in an excellent fantasy situation. Last year, Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders ranked in the bottom 16 among 70 running backs with at least 55 rushing attempts in yards per attempt. While it might be too early to call him the next De’Von Achane, Blue could have a similar rookie year with two ineffective veteran running backs ahead of him on the depth chart.

Pick 14.11 – Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)

Many had high expectations for Kincaid last season 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 TE29, averaging 7.8 PPR fantasy points per game. However, I’m giving Kincaid another shot. He missed four games because of an injury while playing hurt for most of the second half of last year. Don’t be surprised if Kincaid shines in 2025.

Pick 15.02 – Luther Burden III (WR – CHI)

Burden will be one of the more talked-about late-round picks heading into redraft season. He is a polarizing pick in dynasty rookie drafts. Some believe the former Missouri star is the fourth or fifth option in a crowded Chicago receiving core. Meanwhile, others think Burden could fill the Amon-Ra St. Brown role in Ben Johnson’s offense. Fantasy players want to take high upside swings with their final few picks, making the rookie an appealing target.

Pick 16.11 – Marvin Mims Jr. (WR – DEN)

Last year, the Broncos’ offense became a fantasy-friendly unit with Bo Nix under center. While many believed Denver would have made a splashy addition at the wide receiver position this offseason, the team didn’t because of Mims. He averaged 6.5 receptions for 77 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 26.2PPR fantasy points per game over the final two weeks, making several big-time plays on offense. Don’t be surprised when Mims is a popular third-year breakout candidate during the preseason.
