Fantasy Football Mock Draft: FFPC TE Premium (2026)

As we approach the NFL regular season, fantasy football drafts around the world will begin, including the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) contest, which features 20 rounds and unique rules such as 1.5 PPR points for tight ends. What better way to get ready than with a fantasy football mock draft?

Fantasy Football Mock Draft

Below are the results of an FFPC mock draft using FantasyPros’ Draft Wizard tool. The league had the following roster settings: 1-QB, 2-WR, 2-RB, 1-TE, 2-FLEX, 1-K, 1-D/ST and 10 bench slots. I was randomly awarded pick No. 4.

This team was graded 91/100 by the Draft Wizard.

Round 1: Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

Ja’Marr Chase had a target share of 30.4% last season and 31.5% when Joe Burrow was on the field. He’s a potential triple-crown receiver every year.

Round 2: Rashee Rice (WR – KC)

Rashee Rice is certainly a bit risky with his off-field issues, including serving time in jail earlier this offseason, but when he was on the field last season, he had a staggering 37.9% target share.

This is a dice roll, but if he’s on the field, he’ll have a fantastic season.

Round 3: Colston Loveland (TE – CHI)

I thought about Trey McBride in the previous round, but given the extra boost for tight end receptions, I needed to snag a top player at the position.

From Weeks 10 to 17, Loveland led the Bears in target share (17.7%), which included DJ Moore on the field. He was traded to the Buffalo Bills.

Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is also dealing with some soft-tissue injuries that could hamper him, and Rome Odunze is coming off a foot injury (though he’s been cleared, it’s still worth noting).

Loveland should have another big season.

Round 4: Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL)

I don’t find myself in many positions to take someone like Lamar Jackson, but I pulled the trigger here. His receiving corps is slightly improved with Elijah Sarratt and Ja’Kobi Lane being drafted, but really, it’s his rushing ability I’m excited about.

Round 5: Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)

From Weeks 1-8, Cam Skattebo handled 58% of the Giants’ running back carries. From Weeks 2-7, he had double-digit carries each week, and in that range, he had 66.7% of the carries. Skattebo also caught 24 passes, catching at least two passes every week except for when he got hurt in Week 8.

I expect Skattebo, pending health, to be the lead back for the Giants.

Round 6: David Montgomery (RB – HOU)

David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans, and he’ll immediately bolster their backfield. He’s scored at least eight touchdowns in each of his last three seasons, including last season when he had 158 carries, which was the lowest total of his career.

I expect Montgomery to be the bell-cow back for the Texans while Woody Marks handles the passing-down work.

Round 7: Jadarian Price (RB – SEA)

Fellow Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is still recovering from his knee injury, meaning first-round rookie Jadarian Price has a chance to become the lead back. As my RB3, I’ll take the chance.

Round 8: Sam LaPorta (TE – DET)

I wanted to add more tight ends given the TE-Premium setting, and Sam LaPorta is a great target. He’s been dealing with some pretty serious injuries, but he’s been “terrific” in camp, per Lions beat writer Tim Twentyman.

From Weeks 1-10, LaPorta was second on the Lions in target share at 18.6%, catching 40 passes for 489 yards and three scores.

Round 9: Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR)

Fellow Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard was inefficient last season, and this is opening up a potential lead-back role for Jonathon Brooks so long as he can stay healthy after tearing his ACL twice over the last few years.

Brooks has fewer than 10 lifetime NFL carries, but camp reports have been solid. Not only that, but Hubbard is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Round 10: Travis Kelce (TE – KC)

Behind Rashee Rice, the next target will likely still be Travis Kelce, even though he’s probably entering his final NFL season. Last season, he led the team in overall target share (19.7%). Of course, Rice only played in eight games, but even when Rice was on the field, Kelce had a 19.9% target share.

Round 11: Jalen Coker (WR – CAR)

Jalen Coker signed a multi-year extension with the Panthers, leading me to believe he’ll be the No. 2 WR behind Tetairoa McMillan. Here in the 11th round, I’ll take a swing.

Round 12: Jauan Jennings (WR – MIN)

Jauan Jennings enters a crowded offense with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson, but he’ll be on the field as the No. 3 WR. This is a situation I’d certainly monitor if this were my real team to see if Jennings gets targeted enough, but he’s coming off a nine-touchdown season.

Round 13: MarShawn Lloyd (RB – GB)

Josh Jacobs could still be suspended by the NFL, allowing MarShawn Lloyd a chance to get on the field. Not only that, but Jacobs is dealing with a groin injury, though it’s not believed to be long-term.

Lloyd is a player I’d keep on my roster to get a feel for the backfield and potentially wait to hear news on Jacobs, one way or the other.

Round 14: Kyler Murray (QB – MIN)

Kyler Murray is one of my favorite quarterbacks this season, and with the additional bench slots, I wanted to get him on the team behind Lamar Jackson.

Round 15: Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)

In case I’m wrong about Kyler Murray, I’ll have a Patrick Mahomes-Rashee Rice-Travis Kelce stack.

Round 16: Minnesota Vikings D/ST

Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores loves to bring pressure, and with pressure comes the potential for turnovers.

Round 17: Kaytron Allen (RB – WSH)

Jacory Croskey-Merritt is the lead back for the Commanders, but if anything were to happen to him, Allen could likely step into his role.

Round 18: Adonai Mitchell (WR – NYJ)

The Jets’ offense has a lot of mouths to feed, but when Adonai Mitchell was on the field for the Jets last season, he had a 29.4% target share. He could still get a decent number of targets.

Round 19: Zachariah Branch (WR – ATL)

Zachariah Branch will have to work his way up the depth chart, but if he can get past Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus, he could be an intriguing, explosive PPR option.

Round 20: Evan McPherson (K – CIN)

The Bengals have one of the easier schedules this season and should have a great offense. This will put Evan McPherson in many spots for field goals and extra points.
