Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) is one of the most fun fantasy football platforms. Their combination of PPR and TE-Premium offers a scoring format unlike others, and a small change in the dynamics around one position impacts everything from roster construction to player evaluation. You can find out for yourself by participating in a fantasy football mock draft.
The contests range from a $35 Superflex best-ball tournament to their 1-QB Main Event, which will set you back $ 2,000 per entry. For this mock draft, we’ve used settings similar to the mid-level $125 best ball contest. FantasyPros’ fantasy football mock draft simulator randomly allotted us the 1.09 pick. The main settings tweak is to set the tight end position value to very high.

FFPC Fantasy Football Mock Draft
Early Rounds
With the extra half point per tight end reception, it’s not uncommon for Brock Bowers to go anywhere in the first round. Similar to when Travis Kelce was dominant, drafters have every faith that Bowers is going to be the positional advantage in a way no other player can be.
Some years, we see drafters lean heavily into the previous year’s final standings for how they approach the leader at a position, but this year, the general vibe seems to be a preference for Bowers over McBride.
Bowers ranked 10th in receiving yards (680) despite only playing 12 games and looking banged up in several of the ones he did play. Only four tight ends scored more than the seven touchdowns Bowers managed. McBride ran 67 more routes in 2025 than any other tight end has in the last 20 years. The Cardinals led the league in pass attempts, and something will probably regress. Which is all a long way of saying, Bowers is a smash pick at 1.09.

Over the next four rounds, we lean heavily into a Zero RB approach, drafting Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Tetairoa McMillan and Jaylen Waddle. People seem afraid to lean into Zero RB this year, which creates an opportunity for those willing to embrace some risk. These four receivers all have a very strong chance to lead their team in targets.
Both Wilson and Waddle have had substantial quarterback upgrades, McMillan flashed his ceiling last year, and London has WR1 overall upside, averaging 19.9 PPR points with Michael Penix Jr. last season. London has topped a 28% target share in three out of four NFL seasons and still faces minimal competition at wide receiver in Atlanta.
Middle Rounds
After leaning incredibly wide receiver heavy early on, we have to be careful in the middle rounds. By the time we get to round 14, we need to not be forced into any pick and not be scrambling for running backs.
Our first running back is Kenneth Gainwell, who scored the 13th-most points from Week 10 onwards and had a career-high 114 rush attempts and 85 targets. The Bucs made him a priority, and all indications are he’ll be heavily mixed in with Bucky Irving. In round seven, we take Kyle Pitts for a Falcons stack with Drake London. We don’t necessarily need the quarterback to pair with these two, as it could be a wasted pick if they rotate Penix and Tua Tagovailoa, but we’ll still have access to the receiving points.
We snag two more receiving backs in Rachaad White and Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the middle rounds. White is coming off back-to-back seasons with 4.3 yards per carry and over a 50% success rate, a dramatic uptick from his rookie season. His relationship with Jayden Daniels dates back to college, and with Jacory Croskey-Merritt failing to nail down this job, White will see plenty of touches.
Tracy might be subject to some rotation, but Cam Skattebo is hardly profiling as someone who knows how to stay healthy. It’s also worth considering that John Harbaugh sat by and watched Derrick Henry rotate with Justice Hill plenty during his last couple of years, so Tracy could mix in more than we expect.
We eventually double-tap the quarterback position, adding Jaxson Dart and Brock Purdy. If Tyrone Tracy pays off, it’s likely with Dart checking down the ball to him, and this unconventional stack feels fun. Dart had 40+ rushing yards in half of his appearances last season, and with Isaiah Likely in town, his pass-catching options should help him out further. Purdy continues to be perennially undervalued, and with Mike Evans to throw to, he could be in for a big year.

We continued to round out the running back room with Dylan Sampson, James Conner, Emanuel Wilson and Justice Hill. Seven of our last 10 picks have been running backs, making up for such an extreme wide receiver-heavy start. Not all of these players will hit, but we should still get usable weeks from them while our wideouts dominate.
Late-Rounds
Dalton Schultz fell to us as our third tight end, which is a nice number to have in this format. Schultz isn’t particularly special, but he did just finish with the sixth-most targets (103), one of only eight tight ends with 100+ targets. If C.J. Stroud can show us he has any chance of earning a market-level contract, Schultz likely benefits while the wide receiver room dukes it out for opportunities.
Malik Willis slid to us in round 17, probably further than you’ll see in most drafts, but we shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. As a dual-threat quarterback, he’s not the most polished player, but in the eight games he played at least 60% of the snaps, he had 40+ rushing yards in six of them. That matters for fantasy football.
Rounding things out, we take two more running backs in Chris Brooks and Brashard Smith, before adding Travis Hunter, who also fell past his average draft position (ADP) significantly, but could be a very fun dart throw for best ball.
Bottom Line
The main regret here is not taking a fifth wide receiver slightly earlier. Like Ted Hurst or Elijah Sarratt over Chris Brooks, or even Antonio Williams over Emanuel Wilson. Ultimately, though, we have a very strong foursome of wide receivers whom we can rely on. Zero RB needs to embrace fragility, and it appears to have a massive advantage in FFPC drafts this year, with very few people comfortable using it.
