Fantasy Football Mock 5.0 is a monster 14-team draft, with 0.5 PPR scoring. This mock was done using the FantasyPros Draft Simulator.

 

The Picks

 

Round 1

1.1: Saquon Barkley, NYG RB

1.2: Alvin Kamara, NO RB

1.3: Christian McCaffrey, CAR RB

1.4: Ezekiel Elliott, DAL RB

1.5: David Johnson, ARI RB

1.6: Davante Adams, GB WR

1.7: Melvin Gordon, LAC RB

1.8: DeAndre Hopkins, HOU WR

1.9: Le’Veon Bell, NYJ RB

1.10: Julio Jones, ATL WR

1.11: James Conner, PIT RB

1.12: Todd Gurley, LAR RB

1.13: Michael Thomas, NO WR

1.14: JuJu Smith-Schuster, PIT WR

 

Thoughts: In a 14-team league, I’m willing to take a chance on someone like Gurley remaining a top-notch fantasy asset.

 

Round 2

2.1: Odell Beckham Jr., CLE WR

2.2: Travis Kelce, KC WR

2.3: Nick Chubb, CLE RB

2.4: Tyreek Hill, KC WR

2.5: Patrick Mahomes, KC QB

2.6: Joe Mixon, CIN RB

2.7: Dalvin Cook, MIN RB

2.8: Damien Williams, KC RB

2.9: Mike Evans, TB WR

2.10: Antonio Brown, OAK WR

2.11: George Kittle, SF TE

2.12: Kerryon Johnson, DET RB

2.13: T.Y. Hilton, IND WR

2.14: Marlon Mack, IND RB

 

Thoughts: And to alleviate the risk associated with drafting Gurley first, it makes sense to get a solid, high-floor player like Chubb early in the second round.

 

Round 3

3.1: Derrick Henry, TEN RB

3.2: Aaron Jones, GB RB

3.3: Keenan Allen, LAC WR

3.4: Adam Thielen, MIN WR

3.5: Zach Ertz, PHI TE

3.6: Amari Cooper, DAL WR

3.7: Devonta Freeman, ATL RB

3.8: Leonard Fournette, JAX RB

3.9: Stefon Diggs: MIN WR

3.10: Robert Woods, LAR WR

3.11: Brandin Cooks, LAR WR

3.12: Josh Jacobs, OAK RB

3.13: A.J. Green, CIN WR

3.14: Julian Edelman, NE WR

 

Thoughts: It came down to Josh Jacobs and a few receivers for this pick, but I decided to start with three straight running backs. Again, if something happens to Gurley, I’d be thrilled with a top-two of Chubb and Jacobs in a league this big.

 

Round 4

4.1: Deshaun Watson, HOU QB

4.2: Kenny Golladay, DET WR

4.3: Cooper Kupp, LAR WR

4.4: Phillip Lindsay, DEN RB

4.5: Chris Godwin, TB WR

4.6: David Montgomery, CHI RB

4.7: Tyler Lockett, SEA WR

4.8: Robby Anderson, NYJ WR

4.9: O.J. Howard, TB TE

4.10: Tarik Cohen, CHI RB

4.11: Aaron Rodgers, GB QB

4.12: Mark Ingram, BAL RB

4.13: D.J. Moore, CAR WR

4.14: Tyler Boyd, CIN WR

 

Thoughts: If Cooper Kupp can return to form after last season’s ACL tear, he’d be a solid WR1 to go along with the three running backs headlining the team.

 

Round 5

5.1: Mike Williams, LAC WR

5.2: Calvin Ridley, ATL WR

5.3: Evan Engram, NYG TE

5.4: Sony Michel, NE RB

5.5: Jarvis Landry, CLE WR

5.6: Chris Carson, SEA RB

5.7: Alshon Jeffery, PHI WR

5.8: Andrew Luck, IND QB

5.9: Hunter Henry, LAC TE

5.10: Kenyan Drake, MIA RB

5.11: Allen Robinson, CHI WR

5.12: Sammy Watkins, KC WR

5.13: James White, NE RB

5.14: Lamar Miller, HOU RB

 

Thoughts: Wide receiver is getting thin already at this point in the draft, but Sammy Watkins is probably the clear best option still available. The two starting WR spots are now two guys in two of the league’s top offenses.

 

Round 6

6.1: Latavius Murray, NO RB

6.2: Baker Mayfield, CLE QB

6.3: Matt Ryan, ATL QB

6.4: Eric Ebron, IND TE

6.5: Jared Cook, NO TE

6.6: Dante Pettis, SF WR

6.7: Will Fuller, HOU WR

6.8: Cam Newton, CAR QB

6.9: Rashaad Penny, SEA RB

6.10: Corey Davis, TEN WR

6.11: Christian Kirk, ARI WR

6.12: Marvin Jones, DET WR

6.13: Vance McDonald, PIT TE

6.14: Kyler Murray, ARI QB

 

Thoughts: I figured with three running backs and two wide receivers through five rounds, it’s worth it to add one of the top quarterbacks on the board to avoid a big run before the next pick.

 

Round 7

7.1: Tevin Coleman, SF RB

7.2: Jameis Winston, TB QB

7.3: Carson Wentz, PHI QB

7.4: Sterling Shepard, NYG WR

7.5: Russell Wilson, SEA QB

7.6: Jared Goff, LAR QB

7.7: Golden Tate, NYG WR

7.8: Derrius Guice, WAS RB

7.9: Drew Brees, NO QB

7.10: Jordan Howard, PHI RB

7.11: Kareem Hunt, CLE RB

7.12: David Njoku, CLE TE

7.13: Austin Ekeler, LAC RB

7.14: Curtis Samuel, CAR WR

 

Thoughts: It normally doesn’t work out where the lineup basically gets filled out (aside from the FLEX spot) in the first seven picks, but David Njoku got the slight nod over Miles Sanders.

 

Round 8

8.1: Miles Sanders, PHI RB

8.2: Chicago Bears D/ST

8.3: Darrell Henderson, LAR RB

8.4: Royce Freeman, DEN RB

8.5: Los Angeles Rams D/ST

8.6: Larry Fitzgerald, ARI WR

8.7: Dede Westbrook, JAX WR

8.8: Geronimo Allison, GB WR

8.9: Carlos Hyde, KC RB

8.10: Jerick McKinnon, SF RB

8.11: Jacksonville Jaguars DST

8.12: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, GB WR

8.13: Matt Breida, SF RB

8.14: Donte Moncrief, PIT WR

 

Thoughts: Larry Fitzgerald was under serious consideration here, but Darrell Henderson could immediately be a nice FLEX play in a 14-team league, and he helps offset the risk with the Gurley pick.

 

Round 9

9.1: Keke Coutee, HOU WR

9.2: Peyton Barber, TB RB

9.3: N’Keal Harry, NE WR

9.4: LeSean McCoy, BUF RB

9.5: Ronald Jones, TB RB

9.6: Adrian Peterson, WAS RB

9.7: Desean Jackson, PHI WR

9.8: Courtland Sutton, DEN WR

9.9: D.K. Metcalf, SEA WR

9.10: Rex Burkhead, NE RB

9.11: James Washington, PIT WR

9.12: Anthony Miller, CHI WR

9.13: Damien Harris, NE RB

9.14: Michael Gallup, DAL WR

 

Thoughts: It was surprising that Anthony Miller was still here this late, and he’s another option that could be an excellent FLEX in a 14-teamer.

 

Round 10

10.1: Emmanuel Sanders, DEN WR

10.2: D’Onta Foreman, IND RB

10.3: Devin Funchess, IND RB

10.4: Lamar Jackson, BAL QB

10.5: Duke Johnson, HOU RB

10.6: Jaylen Samuels, PIT RB

10.7: Parris Campbell, IND WR

10.8: Kenny Stills, MIA WR

10.9: Justice Hill, BAL RB

10.10: Tyrell Williams, OAK WR

10.11: Randall Cobb, DAL WR

10.12: Los Angeles Chargers D/ST

10.13: John Brown, BUF WR

10.14: Justin Jackson, LAC RB

 

Thoughts: The Devin Funchess selection gives this team starting receivers from arguably the top three offenses in football.

 

Round 11

11.1: Kalen Ballage, MIA RB

11.2: Austin Hooper, ATL TE

11.3: Alexander Mattison, MIN RB

11.4: Mike Davis, CHI RB

11.5: Dion Lewis, TEN RB

11.6: Marquise Brown, BAL WR

11.7: Nyheim Hines, IND RB

11.8: Tre’Quan Smith, NO WR

11.9: Baltimore Ravens, D/ST

11.10: C.J. Anderson, DET RB

11.11: Ben Roethlisberger, PIT QB

11.12: Jamison Crowder, NYJ WR

11.13: Devin Singletary, BUF RB

11.14: Deebo Samuel, SF WR

 

Thoughts: The receiving corps of the Jets is a bit of a toss-up right now, but Jamison Crowder could lead the team in receptions.

 

Round 12

12.1: Ito Smith, ATL RB

12.2: Mecole Hardman, KC WR

12.3: Josh Allen, BUF QB

12.4: T.J. Hockenson, DET TE

12.5: Nelson Agholor, PHI WR

12.6: Josh Gordon, NE WR

12.7: Trey Burton, CHI TE

12.8: Jordan Reed, WAS TE

12.9: Kirk Cousins, MIN QB

12.10: Dak Prescott, DAL QB

12.11: Demaryius Thomas, NE WR

12.12: Marquise Goodwin, SF WR

12.13: Philip Rivers, LAC QB

12.14: DaeSean Hamilton, DEN WR

 

Thoughts: Teams could be hurting for quarterbacks more in bigger leagues, so Josh Allen could become a valuable trade piece during the season if he breaks out this year.

 

Round 13

13.1: Mark Andrews, BAL TE

13.2: Chris Thompson, WAS RB

13.3: Tom Brady, NE QB

13.4: Jamaal Williams, GB RB

13.5: A.J. Brown, TEN WR

13.6: Chase Edmonds, ARI RB

13.7: Delanie Walker, TEN TE

13.8: Minnesota Vikings, D/ST

13.9: Jimmy Garoppolo, SF QB

13.10: Jason Witten, DAL TE

13.11: Denver Broncos, D/ST

13.12: Tony Pollard, DAL RB

13.13: Darwin Thompson, KC RB

13.14: Jimmy Graham, GB TE

 

Thoughts: This is just a mock draft, but if you’re really drafting this early, Tony Pollard should be a target in every draft.

 

Round 14

14.1: T.J. Yeldon, BUF RB

14.2: Mitchell Trubisky, CHI QB

14.3: Frank Gore, BUF RB

14.4: Trayveon Williams, CIN RB

14.5: Giovani Bernard, CIN RB

14.6: Alfred Morris, DAL RB

14.7: Jalen Richard, OAK RB

14.8: Gus Edwards, BAL RB

14.9: Kyle Rudolph, MIN TE

14.10: Greg Olsen, CAR TE

14.11: Matthew Stafford, DET QB

14.12: Ryquell Armstead, JAX RB

14.13: Andy Isabella, ARI WR

14.14: Jack Doyle, IND TE

 

Thoughts: To round off the bench, we’re adding the always-reliable Frank Gore, who should be good for a handful of points a week in the FLEX spot for a 14-team league.

 

Round 15

15.1: Cleveland Browns, D/ST

15.2: Houston Texans, D/ST

15.3: Dallas Goedert, PHI TE

15.4: Malcolm Brown, LAR RB

15.5: New England Patriots, D/ST

15.6: New Orleans Saints, D/ST

15.7: Buffalo Bills, D/ST

15.8: Rodney Anderson, CIN RB

15.10: Adam Humphries, TEN WR

15.11: Zay Jones, BUF WR

15.12: Dallas Cowboys, D/ST

15.13: Mohamed Sanu, ATL WR
