Fantasy Football Mock Draft

1.02: Jahmyr Gibbs (RB – DET)

Drafting inside the top four picks isn’t complicated. In PPR leagues at pick two, you’re choosing between Jahmyr Gibbs, Ja’Marr Chase or Bijan Robinson.

2.11: Derrick Henry (RB – BAL

It’s very rare for me to draft two running backs in the first two rounds in PPR leagues, but I can’t pass up Derrick Henry this late in the second round.

Having another pick in three turns to grab a pass-catcher definitely helps in this scenario.

3.02: Rashee Rice (WR – KC)

Probably the most uncomfortable pick you can make this year is Rashee Rice because you have no idea what you are going to get with him.

But Rice’s upside is through the roof. Realistically, drafting him here is right in line with his Yahoo average draft position (ADP). Ladd McConkey and DeVonta Smith were also considered.

4.11: Jaylen Waddle (WR – DEN)

Jaylen Waddle is being overlooked as he enters his first year with the Broncos.

Evan Silva of Establish The Run projects him to a huge year under Sean Payton, comparing him to Brandin Cooks during his time in New Orleans. I could see 1,100+ yards and at least nine touchdowns being well within his range.

5.02: D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)

Ben Johnson wants to field the highest-scoring team in league history. Rostering the lead back in the passing game in a high-powered offense aimed at those kinds of goals is a plus.

6.11: Parker Washington (WR – JAX)

Parker Washington is really making a name for himself during training camp. After a big second half last season, he is carrying that momentum into 2026, becoming Jacksonville’s No. 1 WR.

7.02: J.K. Dobbins (RB – DEN)

Slated as the No. 1 RB in Denver to start the season, the former first-round pick has big expectations for himself. J.K. Dobbins stated that his goal is to play all 17 games, something he hasn’t been able to do during his NFL career.

8.11: Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX)

I finally grabbed my starting quarterback. Lawrence finished as the fantasy QB4 last season, and a big part of that was his nine rushing touchdowns. While that might not be repeatable, if he comes even somewhat close, Lawrence is a steal this late in the draft.

9.02: Jayden Reed (WR – GB)

The wide receiver room in Green Bay has thinned out, with Dontayvion Wicks and Doubs leaving in free agency. This should open up some big-time plays for Reed in a pass-heavy offense.

10.11: Jordan Mason (RB – MIN)

Minnesota is going to have a sneaky good offense, and while Jordan Mason is projected to split time with Aaron Jones, it’s only a matter of time before he takes over the bulk of the workload.

11.02: De’Zhaun Stribling (WR – SF)

With the injuries piling up in San Francisco, De’Zhaun Stribling is climbing the ranks and could be the 49ers’ No. 2 WR come Week 1. If Stribling is still on the board after the 10th round, don’t hesitate to draft him.

12.11: Keaton Mitchell (RB – LAC)

Keaton is listed as the No. 2 RB for the Chargers, but offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has made comments that Mitchell will be a big part of the offense. If anything happens to Omarion Hampton, Mitchell could be a league winner.

13.02: Brenton Strange (TE – JAX)

I probably waited too long to draft a tight end. However, Brenton Strange is in a good offense and completes a stack with Trevor Lawrence and Parker Washington.

14.11: Will Reichard (K – MIN)/15.02: Los Angeles Rams D/ST
