Fantasy Football Mock Draft
My goal for this mock draft was to use a Robust QB draft strategy while punting on the tight end position until the double-digit rounds. Let’s see how it turned out.
Pick 1.02: Drake Maye (QB – NE)
Drake Maye fell just short of winning the NFL MVP award in his second season. However, the former North Carolina star was outstanding for fantasy players, ending the year as the QB2, averaging 20.7 fantasy points per game.
Furthermore, Maye’s 31 passing touchdowns were the third-most in the league despite lacking a go-to No. 1 caliber wide receiver. Thankfully, the Patriots fixed that this offseason, trading for A.J. Brown, setting up Maye to build off of last year’s success.
Pick 2.13: Jared Goff (QB – DET)
While he isn’t an elite fantasy quarterback, Jared Goff has been an underrated starting option since landing in Detroit. The former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick has finished as a top-10 quarterback each of the past three years.
Last season, he was the QB9 despite the loss of Ben Johnson, averaging two passing touchdowns and 17.5 fantasy points per game. Landing Goff as my QB2 in the late second round of a 14-team mock draft is a massive steal.
Pick 3.02: A.J. Brown (WR – NE)
Let’s return to New England with my third pick of this mock draft. A.J. Brown missed two games last season. Yet, the former Ole Miss star finished as the WR11 in points per game, averaging 12.1 half-PPR fantasy points per contest, a better average than CeeDee Lamb (11.7) and Justin Jefferson (9.4).
Furthermore, Brown was outstanding when seeing double-digit targets, averaging 17.8 fantasy points per game in those contests. Brown should have no trouble seeing a consistently high target share as Drake Maye’s go-to receiver.
Pick 4.13: Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)
Unfortunately, Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome leg injury in Week 8, ending his rookie year. However, the former Arizona State star was outstanding before getting hurt, averaging 19.5 touches for 96.3 scrimmage yards, a touchdown and 17.4 half-PPR fantasy points per game from Week 2 through Week 7.
Skattebo’s 17.4 fantasy points per contest average would have made him the RB6 last season. The Giants improved their offensive line through the NFL Draft, which should help Skattebo have a sophomore-year breakout.
Pick 5.02: Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)
Despite missing most of training camp and Week 1 because of off-the-field issues as a rookie, Quinshon Judkins had a productive 2025 season. The former Ohio State star was the RB19 from Week 2 through Week 16, when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury, averaging 11.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game.
Thankfully, Judkins appears on pace to be 100% healthy for the start of the season. More importantly, the Browns rebuilt their offensive line and made no additions to their backfield.
Pick 6.13: Davante Adams (WR – LAR)
Many are expecting significant touchdown regression for Davante Adams. Last season, the veteran led the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns despite missing the final three games with a hamstring injury.
While I’m anticipating touchdown regression for him, no one should be surprised if Adams ranks among the league leaders again in 2026, finding the end zone 10+ times. Even if Adams went from scoring 14 touchdowns last season to eight, a 42.9% decrease, he would still have averaged 11.2 half-PPR fantasy points per contest.
Pick 7.02: Daniel Jones (QB – IND)
Even after drafting two quarterbacks with my first two picks, I didn’t want to wait too long to grab my QB3, especially given that this mock draft has 14 teams. While he won’t be as efficient as last season, I have high hopes for Daniel Jones in 2026 despite coming off a torn Achilles.
Before suffering a leg fracture, Jones was the QB6 over the first eight weeks, averaging 1.6 passing touchdowns and 20.8 fantasy points per game.
Pick 8.13: Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI)
While D’Andre Swift remains the Bears’ clear-cut No. 1 running back, Kyle Monangai has standalone fantasy value. Last season, the former Rutgers star was the RB30, averaging 8.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game despite only averaging 10 rushing attempts per contest.
More importantly, Monangai is one injury to Swift away from being a must-start top-10 running back. Monangai had 29 touches for 198 scrimmage yards and 21.63 fantasy points in the one game Swift missed last season with an injury.
Pick 9.02: Quentin Johnston (WR – LAC)
After years of being considered a bust, Quentin Johnston had a breakout season in 2025. He finished as the WR23 in points per game, averaging 10.4 half-PPR fantasy points per contest, posting a higher average than Jaylen Waddle (10.1), Emeka Egbuka (9.7) and DeVonta Smith (9.6).
Furthermore, the former TCU star was once again a scoring machine, totaling eight receiving touchdowns for the second consecutive year despite catching fewer than 60 passes. Reportedly, new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has big plans for Johnston.
Pick 10.13: Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG)
Handcuffing your No. 1 running back is always a good idea, assuming there is a clear-cut option. Tyrone Tracy Jr. was productive taking over as New York’s starting running back when Cam Skattebo suffered a season-ending injury in Week 8.
The former Purdue star was the RB17 from Week 9 through Week 18, averaging 17.4 touches for 89 scrimmage yards and 12.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Having Tracy on my roster guarantees me at least RB2 production if Skattebo gets hurt.
Pick 11.02: De’Zhaun Stribling (WR – SF)
Many criticized San Francisco after spent the top pick in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft on De’Zhaun Stribling. Yet, the former Ole Miss star has had an impressive offseason. Furthermore, the three veterans ahead of him on the depth chart — Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk — have all struggled to stay healthy over the past few years or are currently dealing with one during training camp. While it’s a long shot, the rookie could be the 49ers’ No. 1 wide receiver at some point this season.
Pick 12.13: Dallas Goedert (TE – PHI)
I finally select a tight end at the end of the 12th round of this mock draft. Yet, I still manage to grab one inside the top 12 of my fantasy football rankings. Dallas Goedert finished as the TE4 last season, averaging a career-high 10.3 half-PPR fantasy points per game.
Furthermore, Goedert’s 11 receiving touchdowns were the most among tight ends, and the second-most in the NFL. With A.J. Brown in New England, Goedert should have no trouble finishing second on the Eagles in targets this year.
Pick 13.02: Jalen McMillan (WR – TB)
While fantasy players should be excited about Emeka Egbuka, don’t forget about Jalen McMillan. Unfortunately, he played in only the final four contests last season due to a neck injury, averaging six half-PPR fantasy points per game.
However, McMillan was outstanding at the end of his rookie campaign, averaging 6.2 targets, 1.4 touchdowns and 17.4 fantasy points per game over the final five regular-season contests. He could be the No. 2 wide receiver in Tampa Bay if Chris Godwin can’t stay healthy.
Pick 14.13: Sean Tucker (RB – TB)
Some are big believers in Bucky Irving. Yet, I would rather draft either of the other two Buccaneers running backs at their draft cost than him. Sean Tucker doesn’t have significant fantasy upside without an injury to Irving. However, he led Tampa Bay with 11 rushing attempts inside the 5-yard line last season, scoring four touchdowns.
By comparison, Irving had zero rushing attempts inside the 5-yard line last year after totaling 13 attempts in 2024. Meanwhile, Tucker set career highs in rushing attempts (86), yards (320) and touchdowns (seven) in 2025.
Pick 15.02: Kenyon Sadiq (TE – NYJ)
Unfortunately, head coach Aaron Glenn announced that Kenyon Sadiq would miss a few weeks of training camp after suffering a minor setback following offseason hernia surgery. Yet, the rookie should be ready for Week 1.
Therefore, Sadiq could be a massive steal as a late-round pick. Garrett Wilson will easily lead the Jets in targets if he stays healthy. However, it’s an open competition for who will finish second on the team in targets, a title Sadiq could earn.
