Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex, Late Pick (2026)

For this fantasy football mock draft, we shifted gears to Superflex. It’s also PPR scoring, which let me implement a modified Zero RB strategy. Obviously, in Superflex leagues you can start up to two quarterbacks, which will have them flying off the board early and often.

Rather than forcing running backs early, I wanted to take advantage of the elite wide receivers and tight ends that naturally slide, while still making sure I secured quality quarterbacks.

This approach meant the running back position took a back seat early in the draft. The good news? I was still able to come away with three to four running backs who project to have meaningful fantasy roles, proving you don’t have to spend premium draft capital to build a competitive backfield.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Superflex League

With the 10th overall pick, let’s see how my team turned out.

Rounds 1-5

Starting from the back half of the first round, I knew quarterback runs would push elite talent at other positions down the board, but I did not think it would push Puka Nacua down this far. What a steal.

Dak Prescott is one of my favorite fantasy football quarterback targets. Why? Well, he had the second-most pass attempts (600) and led the league in completions (404) for the second time in the past three seasons while also throwing 30 touchdowns.

While we are talking about the Cowboys, landing George Pickens in the fourth round was another steal. He was excellent in his first season in Dallas, leading the team in targets (137), catches (93), yards (1,429) and touchdowns (nine). His 18 end-zone targets ranked second in the NFL.

While I don’t go out of my way to force stacks, I’m always aware of them. If I’m deciding between two similarly ranked players, a quarterback/wide receiver stack can serve as the tiebreaker. The added weekly correlation gives your lineup a higher ceiling, and when that value presents itself naturally — as it did with Prescott and Pickens — it was a no-brainer.

Brock Bowers is in line for a huge year with an upgrade at quarterback, whether that be Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza.

Quietly, Jordan Love remains one of the better quarterbacks in the league. He played through injuries to himself and his receivers, while playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Yet, he still produced at an elite level. Love ranked first in expected points added (EPA) in a clean pocket. He also ranked inside the top three in overall EPA per dropback, explosive pass rate and third-down conversion rate.

Here’s a wild tidbit that makes me even more bullish on Love: There wasn’t a single game last season when Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft were all on the field together. Even more surprising, Love had just two of those three weapons available in only six games all season.

Despite dealing with constant injuries around him, Love still put together a productive campaign. If Green Bay can finally keep its top playmakers healthy, there’s a very real chance we haven’t seen Love’s true ceiling yet.

Rounds 6-8

This is where I built up my running back room.

Taking Jacobs as my RB1 may be a little risky due to his legal situation, but the longer this plays out without any discipline, the more encouraging it is. If he escapes this without missing any games, I have a bona fide workhorse as my RB1.

Bhayshul Tuten has a clear path to being the Jaguars’ No. 1 RB entering 2026. Jacksonville did add Chris Rodriguez Jr. to the backfield, which may eat into Tuten’s production, but this is the type of ceiling I target when waiting on running backs.

TreVeyon Henderson should eventually be the lead back in New England. For now, Rhamondre Stevenson is a trusted veteran who won’t disappear. Stevenson averaged over five yards per carry over his final four games, and became the team’s clear No. 1 RB in the playoffs.

Rounds 9-11

9.10: Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)
10.03: Parker Washington (WR – JAX)
11.10: Jayden Reed (WR – GB)

Adding wide receiver depth to my team, both Marvin Harrison Jr. and Parker Washington have the opportunity to be the No. 1 WRs on their respective teams. A lot of people are concerned that Michael Wilson‘s breakout season will eat into Marvin Harrison Jr.‘s production, but I think that concern is overstated.

It’s important to remember that the majority of Wilson’s production came while Harrison was sidelined. When Harrison was on the field, Wilson ran 327 routes but was targeted on just 12% of them while averaging only 0.85 yards per route run.

Parker Washington had a nice breakout season in 2025, but a lot of that had to do with an injury to Brian Thomas Jr. and the slow start of Travis Hunter. Washington should be the primary slot receiver for the Jaguars, and if there is another injury to Thomas or Jakobi Meyers, Washington has a clear path to a ton of volume. Alec Pierce was also a consideration here.

Jayden Reed had a down year in 2025 but is coming into camp fully healthy and should benefit with Dontayvion Wicks and Romeo Doubs leaving for other teams. Again, another stacking opportunity with Jordan Love.

Rounds 12-14

Bryce Young is a depth pick. I needed a QB3, especially in Superflex.

George Kittle normally goes a lot higher than the 13th round, but he’s another year older and coming off a nasty Achilles injury. Pass-catchers are falling like flies in San Francisco early on, and when he comes back healthy, he should be a main target for Brock Purdy. Not a bad option for my second tight end.

Speaking of 49ers pass-catchers, De’Zhaun Stribling has been my favorite late-round target in drafts, even before the Ricky Pearsall injury news. Stribling has a clear path to starting the 2026 season as the 49ers’ No. 2 WR opposite Mike Evans.

Rounds 15-16

15.10: Cam Little (K – JAX)
16.03: MarShawn Lloyd (RB – GB)

I took a flier on MarShawn Lloyd just in case Josh Jacobs does get suspended.
